Music Video Babes: Bobbie Brown
Bobbie Brown, aka Bobbie Brown-Lane, was born as (don't hold your breath, there's nothing interesting here) Bobbie Jean Brown on October 7, 1969 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, U.S. This blonde sex bomb is an American actress, model, and former beauty pageant contestant. But she is, and will always best known for her appearance in the video for Warrant's glam metal anthem "Cherry Pie."
Bobbie attended Starkey Academy in the town of Central, Louisiana during High School and won the Miss Louisiana Teen USA 1987 title and represented Louisiana in the Miss Teen USA 1987 pageant broadcast live from El Paso, Texas in July 1987. She made the top ten in ninth place with an average score of 8.350 after the preliminary competition, placed sixth in interview (8.712), fourth in swimsuit (8.908) and sixth in swimsuit (8.754). Her average combined score of 8.791 for the final competitions was just enough to put her in the top five in fifth place, where she excelled in the final question and eventually placed second runner-up.
Brown won the spokesperson competition on Star Search a record thirteen times and has also starred in TV shows such as Married... with Children (she appeared in 3 episodes) and films such as Last Action Hero (1993). In 1998, she sued Penthouse for featuring a model also named Bobbie Brown.
Brown worked as a model for Budweiser and other companies. She also appeared in music videos, including Great White's "Once Bitten Twice Shy," "House of Broken Love," and "Lady Red Light," and Hurricane's "I'm On To You."
She is best remembered as the girl in Warrant's sexually suggestive "Cherry Pie" video released in 1990, which received heavy airplay on MTV and other music video stations. Canadian cable-TV music network, MuchMusic refused to air the "Cherry Pie" video on the grounds that it was "offensively sexist".
During the shooting of Warrant's "Cherry Pie" video, Brown met lead singer Jani Lane. She eventually left her boyfriend Matthew Nelson for him, and they wed a couple of months later in July 1991. They were married for three years and had a daughter, Taylar Jayne Lane, before divorcing in 1993.
Brown has also dated Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray, Jay Gordon from Orgy, Stevie Rachelle from Tuff and Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee.
She is currently working on writing a book soon to be out called Serial Rock Dater: Sex, Drugs, and Cherry Pie
