Blonde girls with gorgeously tanned skin and a body to die for, running on the beach sporting the highest-cut red swimsuits ever brought every man’s fantasy to life. Those were the Baywatch days. And now with our desi girl Priyanka Chopra all set to be a part of Baywatch the film, we are more than excited. But before Piggy Chops makes the Baywatch girls a distant memory, here’s one last look at the beach babes, then & now.
Pamela Anderson
Age: 27
Baywatch babe: CJ Parker
Age : 48
Anderson was the ultimate Baywatch pin-up babe. She hasn’t left the spotlight even after 20 years and was recently seen in a short sci-fi film.
Erika Eleniak
Age: 22
Baywatch babe: Shauni McClain
Age: 46
Erika left Baywatch in 1992 to pursue film roles, but that didn’t quite pan out very well. While we saw that confident super sexy young girl on screen, reality was something else. Eleniak has struggled immensely with weight issues over the years. At one point she was severely underweight and was hospitalised because of laxative abuse. But after leaving Baywatch, her battle changed and she piled on the pounds. She was last seen in 2006 when she participated in a reality TV show Celebrity Fit Club, where she lost a total of 30 lbs.
Gena Lee Nolin
Age: 23
Baywatch babe: Neely Capshaw
Age: 44
Gena continues to look gorgeous at 40. The mum of three played the lead role in a sexy jungle drama Sheena for two years after quitting Baywatch. She also posed for Playboy’s 2001 Christmas issue, but has now left acting behind to become an author.
Yasmine Bleeth
Age: 25
Baywatch babe: Caroline Holden
Age: 47
Yamine Bleeth was one of the hottest Baywatch girls of all time, till drugs happened to her. She was arrested for the possession of cocaine and for driving under the influence in September 2001. Since then, she has been in rehab and has cleaned up her act. The former TV star currently lives in Arizona with her strip club boss husband, Paul Cerrito.
Carmen Electra
Age: (Your guess is as good as ours)
Baywatch babe: Lani McKenzie
Age: 43
This diva is still a diva (even though she left the show in 1998). She’s done it all, from blockbuster films to releasing her own fitness DVDs, Electra continues to electrify tinsel town.
Nicole Eggert
Age: 20
Baywatch babe: Summer Quinn
Age: 44
Unrecognisable! Nicole Eggert, who in the 90s attracted many an admirer for her role as lifeguard Summer Quinn, featured on the show from 1992 to 1994. The former actress has been fighting serious weight issues for quite sometime now. Also, she now the owner and operator of an ice-cream truck!
Traci Bingham
Age: 23
Baywatch babe: Jordan Tate

Another former Playboy playmate, Traci left Baywatch in 1998, but hit TV screens in the UK in 2006 with a stint on reality show Celebrity Big Brother.
Kelly Packard
