Kimberley Bret Griest (born May 12, 1958) is an American actress, who made her TV debut in the show Miami Vice as Brenda, a high-class architect and love interest of Crockett in the episode "Nobody Lives Forever". In real life, Kim is very feminine, saying "If a character they want me to play wears a good deal of lipstick, eyeshadow and a dress, then they can count me in."
