'Baywatch' stars didn't think the show was good, but their 'passion' helped the TV series hit 1 billion viewers. The cast teamed up 35 years later to reflect in a docuseries.
The plot of 'Baywatch' 'really wasn't that good,' according to the show's biggest stars years later. 'Baywatch' starred David Hasselhoff, Pamela Anderson, Jeremy Jackson, Alexandra Paul, Carmen Electra, Yasmine Bleeth, David Charvet, Nicole Eggert and more. The show ran from 1989 through 2001 and at its peak drew 1.2 billion viewers per week.
Despite the success of the show, the 'Baywatch' actors weren't paid much. Each star earned $3,500 per episode, according to Eggert. ''Friends' at that point I think they were each making $1 million an episode,' she said during the docuseries. Adds Erika Eleniak, 'I actually remember freaking out seeing my first paycheck after the taxes were taken out. How am I honestly going to live on this money?' 'There's not one rich actor on ‘Baywatch.
Eggert, who spearheaded the 'Baywatch' docuseries project, gave fans an update on her cancer journey at Monday's premiere. 'I am good,' Eggert told People magazine on the red carpet. 'I am in sort of a gray area and I finished my treatment, waiting for more imaging and hopefully maybe surgery.' 'And there's a lot of waiting in this and it's sort of something I didn't really realize and nobody really talks about,' she explained.
