What happens to a household name when households stop talking about them? Some actors understand this more than others. And perhaps the most dramatic example of this is the former actor Yasmin Bleeth’s career.
Thanks to her time on Baywatch, Yasmin Bleeth rocketed to worldwide fame. Unfortunately, she faced a series of struggles that effectively ended her career, forcing her to rebuild her life altogether. Just what happened to this former megastar, and what is she up to these days? Keep reading to discover the answer!
An early acting career
One of the funnier things about household names is that, for most audiences, somebody’s fame happens almost overnight. That might have seemed to be the case with Yasmin Bleeth, but the truth is that she spent plenty of years putting in the work before she became famous for running around with David Hasselhoff.
In fact, Bleeth’s first acting job occurred when she was only 10 months old. Back in 1969, she starred in Johnson & Johnson’s No More Tears baby shampoo. The love of performance seemed to stick with her, and she later had a very successful career as a model. Following that success, she began starring in Baywatch in its fourth season and quickly became a household name.
