Donna D’Errico rose to fame pacing the beaches of Santa Monica on Baywatch, and she’s just as happy in a bikini today.
The screen star, 53, took to Instagram this week to share a series of swimwear snaps with her fans, posing in her back garden with an ornate parasol over her head.
Wearing a white bikini with gold string detailing, the model-turned-actress left her fans exclaiming over her youthful good looks in the comments below.
Donna’s blonde hair was parted to one side, tumbling over her shoulders in waves, and she’d lined her eyes with smokey kohl pencil.
In other snaps, she flung a white robe over the swimsuit and slipped into a pair of nude platform stilettos, gazing up at the sky.

Donna swooned over her umbrella in the caption, which was patterned with baroque red roses and featured a classic brown leather handle.
She remarked: “I never knew umbrellas could be masterpieces!
“Look at this one I’m holding. The photos just don’t do it justice. It is exquisite.
“Handcrafted in Italy by master raftsman @mario_talarico_since_1860 I’m almost afraid to use it! Swipe for more pics.”
The comment section below was filled with doting compliments from Baywatch fans, with one writing: “Still as beautiful as ever.”
“You’ve never looked better,” added a second, and a third weighed in: “Look amazing as always.”
Donna started out her career running a limousine company in Las Vegas, before getting scouted to model in Playboy magazine.
The year after she appeared in the magazine’s centrefold, she was cast to play Donna Marco on Baywatch, starring alongside Pamela Anderson and David Hasselhoff.

She stayed on the series for two years, before leaving to appear in a number of independent films and set up her own day spa in California.
Years later, Donna admitted the Baywatch cast members felt a lot of pressure to stay in shape, telling Fox News in 2016: “There was a lot of emphasis put on weight and appearance.
“We dealt with the weight pressure because the trade off was we got to be on the number one syndicated show in the world. We were all so young and I probably wouldn’t make that same choice today.”

The model also claimed she was called into a meeting by the show’s bosses after she gained weight, fearing she would get fired from the series as a result.
She went on: “At the end of one season I’d gained ten pounds and the executive producers scheduled a meeting with me and I heard through the grapevine that they were going to fire me.
“But by the time I went into the meeting I had lost most of it so they didn’t fire me. And I was pressured by other people in my life to stay thin.”
