Brande Nicole Roderick Bio 
Brande Nicole Roderick is an American model, actress, television personality, producer, and author. She was born on June 13, 1974, in Novato, California. She is professionally known as Brande Roderick.
Roderick was Playboy’s Playmate of the Month for April 2000 and was later named Playmate of the Year for 2001. Her April 2000 pictorial was photographed by Stephen Wayda and was built around a Northern California wine-country setting, matching her background in Novato and the surrounding region.
According to her Playmate data sheet, Roderick was listed at 5 ft 7 in and 117 lb, with measurements of 35-24-34. She has blond hair and blue eyes.
Before her Playboy feature, Roderick had already appeared in screen roles, including Baywatch, Beverly Hills, 90210, Love Boat: The Next Wave, and the film Armageddon. In her Playboy interview, she described acting as her main career goal and said she had moved to Los Angeles after deciding to pursue that work seriously.
Roderick is best known on television for playing Leigh Dyer on Baywatch. Her later film and television credits include Starsky & Hutch, The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior, The Nanny Diaries, Snoop Dogg’s Hood of Horror, Celebrity Apprentice, and The Girls Next Door. IMDb lists her as an actress, producer, and writer.
She should not be described as becoming famous because of The Girls Next Door. That series was a later reality-TV appearance; her Playboy title and Baywatch role came first.
