Brooke Smith (born April 30, 1984 in San Anselmo, California) is a professional basketball player in the WNBA.
Smith attended college at Stanford and graduated in 2007. Following her collegiate career, she was selected 23rd overall in the 2007 WNBA Draft by the Minnesota Lynx, but was released on April 26.
Brooke Smith (born May 22, 1967) is an American actress. She is currently starring in the hit TV show Grey's Anatomy as Dr. Erica Hahn. She is most known for her role as Catherine Martin, the sole survivor of Buffalo Bill in the 1991 film The Silence of the Lambs.
Brooke Smith grew up in New York in the shadow of show business owing to the fact that she is the daughter of powerful publicist Lois Smith. After studying at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, her "first big thing" was playing Catherine Martin, the abducted young girl in Silence of the Lambs, The (1991). She went on to play Sonya in Louis Malle's Vanya on 42nd Street (1994) and Dawn in Daniel Minahan's brutal sendup of reality television Series 7: The Contenders (2001). Whether she is humming a Tom Petty tune, as her character did in "Lambs," or screaming for a bean dip, as her pregnant character does in "Series 7," Smith is known for giving brooding, detailed performances. In addition to stage work, her other interests include filmmaking (she has directed a short film and a feature-length documentary), journalism (she has published interviews with actors Steve Buscemi, Ed Harris (I), and Fred Ward (I)), and travel (she has traveled extensively, especially to Africa).
