Brooke Logan Forrester (previously: Marone, Chambers and Jones) is a fictional character from the daytime soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful. She has been portrayed by Katherine Kelly Lang since the series debuted in March 1987, although Catherine Hickland and Sandra Ferguson briefly filled in on two occasions when Katherine Kelly Lang was on leave.
A chemistry graduate from the Valley who became an internationally famous businesswoman at Forrester Creations after creating the patented BeLieF formula for the company, Brooke is as well known for the hypnotic effect she has on the opposite sex as she is for the tenacity and confidence that have enabled her to hold her own against rivals such as Stephanie Douglas Forrester, Caroline Spencer Forrester, Taylor Hamilton and Macy Alexander over the years. Her first marriage to Eric Forrester produced her two oldest children, Rick Forrester and Bridget Forrester. However, Eric Forrester's stepson Ridge Forrester holds the distinction of being the love of Brooke's life, and it was during one of her multiple marriages to him that she conceived her youngest child R.J. Forrester (although there was initial doubt as to whether the boy was sired by Nick Marone, who was also a very significant player in Brooke's love life). One of the lowest points in Brooke's life was an affair with her erstwhile son-in-law Deacon Sharpe, although this affair generated Brooke's younger daughter Hope Logan Forrester, who has since been accepted into the family and adopted by Ridge.
