Baywatch cast now – Pamela Anderson sex tape, Noah's Ark discovery and Hugh Hefner's ex

Baywatch was one of the most iconic television shows to come out of the nineties – the skimpy swimsuits, the rockin’ hot bods and the iconic theme tune had viewers hooked from its launch back in 1990.

Some of the decade’s biggest A-list stars were skyrocketed to fame thanks to the beachside show that stole the hearts of the nation, including It Girl Pamela Anderson and Hollywood Hunk David Hasselhoff.

Instantly recognisable from the star’s legendary red swimsuits, even if you haven’t seen the series, you’re bound to have heard of it.

The show was so popular that its fame prompted a spinoff series – Baywatch Nights – which ran for two seasons and a blockbuster film in 2017, a whopping 17 years after the show ended.

Pamela Anderson

Pamela Anderson was an instant hit with viewers – blonde, beautiful and Baywatch’s resident babe, Anderson had it all.

Her role as CJ Parker ran from 1992 to 1997, which made her one of the longest serving cast members and she was reportedly paid just $1,500 (£1.2k) per episode.

However by the end of her five season run, she was reportedly making over $300,000 (£248k) per episode, making her one of the highest paid actresses of the time.

From then on the only way was up and Pamela flourished with a long string of acting roles in movies and has starred in films such as Borat, Barb Wire, Scooby Doo and Scary Movie 3.

Pamela’s fame reached new heights when she began her infamous relationship with Motley Crü rocker Tommy Lee.

Their tumultuous love life was well publicised but they really grabbed the media’s attention when their raunchy sex tape was leaked by a construction worker back in 1996.

Anderson received backlash for the private video and the pair worked hard to have it erased from the media, but to no avail.

Since then, the couple have split and she spent many years under the radar until her recent resurgence.

The Pam and Tommy miniseries was released in 2022 and since then, Pam has taken matters into her own hands and reclaimed her story.

She released Pamela, A Love Story earlier this year and Love, Pamela in an attempt to set the record straight.

The gorgeous glamour model is still an icon in many people’s eyes and continues to flourish, 35 years after she was thrust into the spotlight.

Donna D’Errico

Former Playboy Playmate Donna D’Errico landed the role of Donna Marco after she was awarded Playmate of the Month back in September 1995.

Fans will recognise the blonde babe from Baywatch and her Playboy past, but many may not know that she previously owned a limousine company.

After Baywatch, she went on to star in Candyman: Day of the Dead, Intervention and Inconceivable.

Similar to her her co-star Pamela Anderson, Donna married Motley Crü’s Nikki Sixx in 1996 but the pair sadly divorced in 2007.

Back in 2011, Donna said that she was beginning training to climb Mount Ararat in search of remains from Noah’s Ark.

However, images of her battered face began to circulate after she posted them on social media.

She spoke to Fox News about her lifelong passion for the biblical story and explained that after she was hospitalised back in 2010, Donna realised that if she “waited much longer she would be too old”.

D’Errico admitted her trip was “cut short” and said: “I was injured. It wasn’t so much the injury itself that made me cut it short. I took photographs of my injured face and I sent them home. I made the mistake of posting one of the pictures on my Twitter account and a giant story broke about it.”

Carmen Electra

Before she began her acting career, Electra – real name Tara Leigh Patrick – produced an album with pop royalty Prince.

He helped launch her career and wrote some songs for the star, who later turned her head to Playboy and eventually landed herself the role of Lani McKenzie in Baywatch.

She has appeared in many parody films including the Scary Movie franchise, Date Movie, Epic Movie and Disaster Movie before starring in Cheaper By The Dozen.

Many fans may not know that she worked as a backup dancer, most notably with girlband Pussycat Dolls.

In 1999, Carmen and her former flame Dennis Rodman were arrested for misdemeanour and battery after police were called to a Miami Beach hotel.

Electra went on to marry former Red Hot Chilli Peppers guitarist Dave Navarro and their plans were aired on their MTV show Til Death Do Us Part: Carmen and Dave, but the pair later split in 2007.

David Hasselhoff

David Hasselhoff starred as the lovable Mitch Buchannon in Baywatch and has previously set the Guinness World Record for the most watched man on TV.

His successful Hollywood career includes roles in Dodgeball, The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, Click, and Hop.

Hasselhoff is also known for his judging roles on America’s Got Talent and Britain’s Got Talent.

David is noted for his cheery attitude and sense of humour which has left him with many celebrity friends and cameo appearances.

However, the Hoff has previously struggled with alcoholism and in 2007, a video of the Hollywood star appearing to be extremely drunk circulated online.

As a result, David lost visitation rights to his daughters for two weeks.

Stacy Kamano

Hawaiian born Kamano starred as Kekao Tanaka in Baywatch in the show’s final two seasons.

Sadly, Stacy didn’t receive the same fame as her co-stars and hasn’t had many credits since, except a presenting role for the television series Extreme Sports and Hotlines.

Since her role in Baywatch, Kamano has fallen away from acting.

Not much has been heard from her since and she has largely stayed out of the spotlight.

Brande Roderick

Roderick starred as Leigh Dyer back in 2000 and was crowned Playmate of the Year in 2001.

She famously dated Playboy founder Hugh Hefner and has recently defended him after allegations made against him in the Secrets of Playboy docu-series.

Roderick told the Banfield NewsNation show: “For me, I have a real fond love for Hef, he was a wonderful person. I learned about art, I learned about music, you know, big band and jazz, old classic films.”

“I learned grace from Hef, that’s one thing that I learned and got to see firsthand is the way that this major iconic man, who’s super famous, would react with everybody…he was just so graceful, which is something you don’t see a lot of times from celebrities in Hollywood.”

She went on to claim that Hefner was “very much against drugs” and that he once had someone removed from the Playboy mansion for “doing cocaine in the bathroom”.

Since her Playboy days, Brande has also appeared in the films Starsky & Hutch, Project Legion and Stripper Wives.

Brooke Burns

Burns’ role came as Jessie Owens, a character which she played in both the original Baywatch series and Baywatch: Hawaii, later going on to star in the Jack Black film Shallow Hal.

Perhaps her most famous ex-boyfriend, Brooke began dating Hollywood movie star Bruce Willis back in 2003.

Although the pair were rumoured to be engaged, they broke up 10 months later.

A year after that, the actress broke her neck in a diving accident and narrowly avoided paralysis after the poolside incident.

Luckily the blonde bombshell made a full recovery and to this day, Burns has a titanium fusion in her neck.

Ten years on, in 2014, she was also involved in an LA car crash.
