Baywatch icon Nicole Eggert was spotted out in public after shaving off her hair during her battle with cancer.
The 52-year-old star, who revealed her diagnosis with breast cancer last year, stepped out in Los Angeles on Friday (May 3) to run some errands. The actress wore gray sweatpants and a hoodie during her outing.
Eggert opted for large black sunglasses and kept things casual with a pair of gray Ugg slippers, as well as a stylish brown handbag. The star, who played Summer Quinn in the beach-based drama, revealed her bald head in a brave video shared just weeks ago.

The mum-of-two has been inundated with support from her famous friends and fans following the clip, which showed her daughter lending a hand with the razor. She captioned the post: “Maybe healing involves not so much changing ourselves but allowing ourselves to be who we are,” a reference to Madeleine Eames.

Actress Alyssa Milano wrote: “Grace. You have the most grace. It’s inspiring and I appreciate you.” Actress Jennie Garth said: “Sending you a big hug”.
The star first disclosed her breast cancer diagnosis in December of 2023. This journey’s been rough for me,” she told People magazine. “This hasn’t been a breezy sail through life.”
“It immediately made me realise, there’s just no succumbing to this,” she added. “This is something I have to get through. This is something that I have to beat. She needs me more than anything and anybody.”

She admitted she ‘kicks herself’ for not checking her breasts regularly and said tissue from the breast implants she got as a teen made it harder to detect anomalies in her chest.
The star went in for a mammogram and three biopsies after gaining around 25 pounds and feeling pain in her left breast, resulting in a diagnosis of stage two cribriform carcinoma breast cancer.

She said: “When I felt it, my heart dropped and I was like oh my god. Nobody could take me, so I walked into every breast care center. It’s horrifying because every day and every minute that passes, you know it’s growing.”
Nicole added: “My heart dropped, I lost all hearing, everything sank. It’s named invasive cribriform carcinoma. It’s very rare. The self-exams, I’m telling you, I kick myself. That’s the one thing I should have been doing.”

She branded her boob job a “huge mistake” and reckons she would have spotted the signs sooner had she had her smaller, natural breasts. “If I didn’t have them and I had my smaller, natural breasts, I am sure I would have felt it much sooner”
