Baywatch was one of the most beloved TV shows from 1989 to 2001.
The show was filled with attractive people wearing next to nothing as they saved lives on a Southern California beach.
Anchored by Hollywood veteran David Hasselhoff, the show made stars of several newcomers like Pamela Anderson, Yasmine Bleeth, Donna D’Errico, Brande Roderick and Nicole Eggert.
