TRIVIA-

When the “Maxie” fashion doll was produced by Hasbro to compete against Mattel’s Barbie, Brooke proved to bear so strong a resemblance to the doll (even though she herself was not the model for Maxie) that she performed in the live-action segments of the Maxie toy commercials. She did not, however, provide the main character’s voice in “Maxie’s World”.
