Over three decades since its 1989 debut, Baywatch’s red-suit rescues and beach drama made it a global phenomenon through 2001.

Original stars like Yasmine Bleeth and Jeremy Jackson faced public personal struggles before stepping back into quieter lives.

Erika Eleniak and Nicole Eggert traded Hollywood’s spotlight for motherhood and wellness pursuits.

David Hasselhoff remains “The Hoff,” touring with music, reality TV and stage shows, while Pamela Anderson built a brand and champions animal rights.

Later additions—Carmen Electra, David Chokachi, Gena Lee Nolin, Alexandra Paul and Donna D’Errico—pursue acting, advocacy and fitness, and Jason Momoa has become a major Hollywood star.
