Before she was introduced to her husband, Pat Sajak, Lesly Brown had an eclectic career. The former Miss Georgetown graduated from the University of Maryland and earned her degree in television production before working as a model. She posed for the cover of a 1988 issue of Playboy called “Women of Washington,” in which she stated that her goal was to go to law school to become a lawyer.
“I decided to put [law school] off to pursue modeling while I was still young enough to do so,” Brown explained to the Washington Post in 1989. “And this year, I’m getting married and I think I want to just get used to being a wife.”
