BAYWATCH'S PLAYBOY MOMENTS 


        For a show that prides itself on its family 
values and Michael Landon-esque plots, some Baywatch 
cast members, and even an occasional extra, have a 
curious relationship with the decidedly 
un-family-oriented Playboy Magazine. 
        Among the appearances: 

        ¥ David Hasselhoff is interviewed in the May 
1995 issue of the magazine. In the interview, 
contradicting the Michael Landon claims, Hasselhoff 
says the characters on his show are "living the life 
of fast food, fast cars, hot women, sun, sand, surf, 
fun and action." 

        ¥ Pamela Anderson has appeared on the cover of 
the glossy nudie mag five times now. She was first on 
the cover in October of '89. According to a Playboy 
spokesman, she has had three Playboy calendars, and 
made a number of "newsstand special" appearances. It 
has been reported that Anderson's Playboy shots got 
her the Baywatch gig in the first place, and that she 
used the money from her first Playboy appearance on a 
breast-enhancement operation. 

        ¥ Erika Eleniak has appeared in Playboy at 
least 12 times, according to Playboy. She was 
"Playmate of the Month" in July of '89. She was 
featured on the cover three times and featured in 
three pictorials. She has also been featured in 
special issues of the magazine. 

        ¥ Many Baywatch extras and guests have also 
made appearances in Playboy. Said Playboy spokesman 
John Champion, "There are numerous women in the 
magazine and newsstand specials who have appeared on 
Baywatch--I couldn't even tell you exactly how many. 
Just within the last few months of Playboy magazine 
women [featured], not necessarily the playmates, have 
to their credit an appearance on Baywatch." 
        For instance, Lisa Boyle is featured on the 
cover of the March/April Playboy Book of Lingerie, and 
in the buff on the inside. She is often a guest on the 
show.
