We all remember tuning in on a weekly basis to watch the action and drama unfold on the popular ’90s series Baywatch. While the storylines drew us in, we were truly hooked on the big-time actors and actresses such as David Hasselhoff, Carmen Electra, and Pamela Anderson. For many of our favorite former Baywatch lifeguards, their personal problems and sobriety struggles were highly publicized on daytime talk shows and reality television shows like Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew and Confessions of a Teen Idol. You definitely won’t want to miss out on knowing what the 20 greatest Baywatch lifeguards are doing today!
