BIOGRAPHY:  
Dark-haired and pinch-nosed, Kristin Davis had mostly small 
infrequent parts to her credit when she was cast in the 
recurring role of rich girl Brooke Armstrong during the 
1994-95 season of the Fox TV series "Melrose Place".
 
Kristin/Brooke soon made her mark, winning the lust, if 
not love, of heartthrob Billy Campbell (Andrew Shue), 
and winning herself a full-time cast berth as of the 
1995-96 season. Brooke was described as "a bitch," and the
character often lived up to the reputation, scheming to 
start a family and squaring off against arch-rival (and step-mother) 
ith). Before portraying Brooke, Davis had guested on 
episodes of "Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman" and "ER". 
She appeared in "Alien Nation: Body and Soul" (Fox,
1995) and with Jamie Lee Curtis in "The Heidi Chronicles" 
(TNT, 1995). Her feature credits include an appearance 
in the direct-to-video horror comedy
"Doom Asylum" (1987) and "Nine Months" (1995).
