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.
Many of these ladies were also associated with Hugh Hefner’s Playboy magazine.
Now that the show is getting a reboot with Brooks Nader and Shay Mitchell, the Daily Mail is looking back to what happened with the original cast members.
Of course divorces and arrests are involved, but there are also several triumphs such as Anderson’s comeback with The Last Showgirl and Naked Gun.
