Who is Yasmine Bleeth?

Yasmine Bleeth was born on the 14th June 1968 in New York City, New York. She is a film and television actress. She is famous for her role as Caroline Holden on the worldwide-syndicated TV series Baywatch, where she played an always red swimsuit-clad professional Lifeguard. Her earliest known acting role was in a baby shampoo television commercial at age ten months at the end of 1968. She once said: "I did my first commercial when I was 10 months old, and I've been in the business ever since." At age 6 she appeared on Candid Camera. Later that year she appeared in a Max Factor cosmetic campaign, along with the model, Christina Ferrare. In a magazine article she said, "When I was a girl I used to have to force boys to kiss me. My toughest friend had to hold them down." She starred in her first movie at the age of 12. She was cast in the feature film Hey Babe in 1980. By the time she graduated from high school, she had already been working on the soap opera Ryan's Hope since the age of 16. She was tipped to become a superstar but at the age of twenty she lost her mother to breast cancer and she fell into depression and addictions to drugs and pills. Her arrest in 2001 in Michigan for possession of cocaine and driving while impaired straightened her out but her chance at super stardom was lost.
