Former Baywatch babe Yasmine Bleeth was spotted making a rare public outing to walk her pooch in Los Angeles earlier this week.
The actress is best known for portraying Caroline Holden in Baywatch, alongside Pamela Anderson and David Hasslehoff, and thanks to her time on the hit show was propelled to overnight stardom.
While Yasmine was a household name in the 90s, she has since shunned the spotlight and hasn’t been pictured in public in years.
Following her time on the American drama television series, the star battled with drug addiction and voluntarily entered the Malibu-based Promises Rehabilitation Clinic to overcome a cocaine dependence in 2000.
Since then, Yasmine has become a recluse and retreated from public life – and has rarely been seen over the past 17 years.

Cutting a chic figure, Yasmine wore a bright patterned maxi dress and covered up with a black hoodie.
Sweeping her brunette tresses into a loose ponytail, she showed off her youthful glow and went make-free for her amble around LA.
