Brooke Berry

Playboy Playmate of The Month for May 2000

Brooke Berry Bio

Brooke Berry is a Canadian actress, glamour and nude model. She was born on March 7, 1980, in Vancouver, Canada. Playboy named her its May 2000 Playmate at 20. Her appearance came in the 2000s, as Playboy's print tradition began to share space with an expanding online presence.

Berry has natural breasts, brown eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 36-24-34.

Brooke Berry was studying English at the University of California, Berkeley when Playboy became a significant part of her life. Raised in Homewood, California, she had attended North Tahoe High School before heading to Berkeley. Her first appearance in the magazine came in the Girls of the Pac 10 pictorial in October 1999, giving Playboy readers an introduction to Berry several months before her centerfold.

That college pictorial led directly to a larger opportunity with the magazine. Berry later described becoming a Playmate as “life-changing,” noting that people began treating her differently after her Playboy appearances. She was comfortable with the decision, even describing herself jokingly as “kind of a nudist,” but she was also conscious of the distinction between the attention generated by physical appearance and the qualities she considered more durable.

Berry remained involved with Playboy after her centerfold. She appeared in several Playboy videos and posed for newsstand special editions, extending her work with the magazine into different formats. She also became a member of the Playboy X-Treme volleyball team, combining the brand’s promotional activities with an athletic setting rather than limiting her appearances to studio modeling.

Music provided another dimension to Berry’s background. She plays the tenor saxophone and has a family connection to American pop history through her uncle, Jan Berry, one half of the musical duo Jan & Dean. Together with her English studies at Berkeley, those details give a more specific picture of her interests outside modeling.

Berry’s own comments about her Playboy experience were notably grounded. Although she acknowledged that people often noticed her appearance first, she repeated advice from her parents that character ultimately mattered more because physical beauty was temporary. Her documented Playboy career followed a straightforward progression—from a university-themed pictorial to a centerfold, videos, special editions and the X-Treme volleyball team—while her education and musical interests remained distinct parts of her life beyond the magazine.
