Personal life
Lang was born in Hollywood, California, and graduated from Beverly Hills High
School. She is the daughter of Olympic ski jumper Keith R. Wegeman and actress
Judith Lang and the granddaughter of Oscar-winning cinematographer Charles Lang.[2]

Lang was divorced twice. She is the mother of three children from two previous
marriages: Jeremy Skott Snider (born 1990), Julian Lang Snider (born 1992) from her
ex-husband Skott Snider, Zoe Katrina D'Andrea (born 1997) from her ex-husband Alex
D'Andrea, and has a stepdaughter, Danyelle D'Andrea (born 1991).[3]

On November 11, 2012, it was announced that Lang had filed for divorce, after 15
years of marriage citing "irreconcilable differences".[4] The divorce was finalized
in June 2014.[citation needed]

In May 2018, she became a grandmother with the birth of her granddaughter, Zuma,
via her daughter Zoe.[5]

Career
Lang made her acting debut in the film Skatetown, U.S.A. (1979), alongside Scott
Baio, Maureen McCormick and Patrick Swayze. That was followed by guest roles in
various television series such in the short-lived The Powers of Matthew Star and
Masquerade and the long-running Riptide, Happy Days, The Fall Guy, and HBO's 1st &
Ten. Lang starred in the 1996 film Subliminal Seduction. In 1985, Lang appeared in
three music videos: Alabama's "There's No Way" (where she played the love interest
of Alabama lead singer Randy Owen), and The Beach Boys' "Getcha Back" and its
sequel "It's Gettin' Late".[citation needed]

In 1987, Lang was offered the role of blue-collar Brooke Logan on the CBS soap
opera The Bold and the Beautiful for the CBS Daytime programming block, and has
been an integral part of the program ever since. Her love affair with Ridge
Forrester (originally played by Ronn Moss, and since 2013 by Thorsten Kaye) has
been a key story arc for more than 30 years, and a love triangle among Brooke,
Ridge and Taylor (Hunter Tylo) stretched across an entire decade. The show's
5,000th episode included only the four core characters: Brooke, Ridge, Stephanie
and Eric.[6] As of February 2015, Lang is one of only two actors to be on The Bold
and the Beautiful throughout the series. The other is John McCook, who portrays
Eric Forrester.[7]

In 1999, she appeared as Brooke in The Young and the Restless, interacting with
Eric Braeden (Victor), Peter Bergman (Jack), and Eileen Davidson (Ashley). Lang
previously appeared on The Young and the Restless as Gretchen in 1981, and returned
to the soap, for a brief stint, in July 2007. Her work as Brooke has been
recognized with seven Soap Opera Digest Award nominations, beginning in 1991 and
most recently in 2005.

Crystal Chappell won a Daytime Emmy Award along with Lang, Hillary B. Smith and
Galen Gering in the Outstanding Drama Series: New Approach category for producing
Venice: The Series.[8]

In 2016, Lang made an appearance as herself in the Australian soap opera

Neighbours.[9] In January 2019, Lang returned to Australian television as a
contestant on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! for season 5.
