Jayne Brook Interview - "Jayne Brook Talks"
SHE'S NO PLAYNE JAYNE TV'S NEW 'SIREN'
by Bruce Fretts - Sent to lavender.fortunecity.com by Kristin

Jayne Brook is tired of hearing her new ABC cop show, Sirens, called the Charlie's Angels of the '90s.

With her polyester blues and her hair in a tight bun, Brook's rookie Pittsburgh police officer Sarah Berkezchuk looks nothing like Farrah Fawcett.

"You have to wear your hair against your head, or anyone could grab it and pull you down," Brook explains.

And those tacky uniforms? "We get pretty sick of wearing them," she says. "They're not exactly Jordache."

Blue-collar work isn't completely alien to Brook, in her early 30s. Growing up near Chicago, she labored summers on the assembly line at her dad's die- casting factory. "I put some little piece into some other little piece," she recalls. "It was really pretty boring."
