Biography |
Brandi Sherwood (born January 13, 1971 in Idaho Falls,
Idaho) is a model and most recognizable as 1997 Miss USA and
a frequent rotating Barker's Beauty model on the daytime
game show The Price Is Right.
Brandi Sherwood has held the titles of Miss Idaho Teen USA
and Miss Idaho USA. At the age of 18, Sherwood was crowned
Miss Teen USA 1989 and in 1997, first runner up Miss USA.
Sherwood assumed the Miss USA crown when Brook Mahealani Lee
was crowned Miss Universe 1997 in Miami. To date, Sherwood
is the first and so far the only person to have held the
titles of both Miss Teen USA and Miss USA.
In 1996, Sherwood was invited on a modeling trip with six
other women to Brunei by her friend, former Miss USA Shannon
Marketic. When Marketic alleged in a lawsuit against the
ruling family of Brunei that they were raped and forced into
sexual slavery, Sherwood first supported her lawsuit but
then distanced herself from it when she became Miss USA. The
lawsuit was thrown out because of the royal family's
immunity as heads of state.
In 1999, she married movie actor Dean Cochran. Sherwood is
currently a model on the long running game show The Price Is
Right. She also has acted in a few recent movies including
"Shark Zone", released in 2003. |
