This former “Baywatch” star was under constant scrutiny for her diet because it was required of her to maintain her ideal weight and beauty. She was plagued by these opinions for a while before coming into her own. Here’s how she became the breathtaking beauty we know today and won many hearts.
The Trials and Hard Start in Life in the 90s
The celebrity went through a lot, including a time when he was homeless in Los Angeles. She used to only own a pair of Versace shoes, no credit card, and no car. Her ex-boyfriend discovered where she had concealed $5,000 and took it.
She was left to count change as he gambled away the money. She walked whenever she needed to use a pay phone and kept a shank in her back pocket because she lived in a tough neighborhood.
People were unaware of how horrible her living conditions were since she maintained her beauty bag and gorgeous outfit. Prince, who found her after she confided in him, offered her a weekly dance show called Erotic City at his Glam Slam LA club.
Together with other dancers, the actress performed on Fridays and was paid about $100. “And that to me was like therapy,” she admitted. And we were cool, and we became buddies.”
Her mother Patricia Patrick passed away from brain cancer during this period, just as her acting career was about to take off, leaving her with yet another tragic loss. Years after the loss, the model reflected, saying, “I miss her so much. She fought cancer for two years, and we were best friends.
She was so horrified by the death that she found it difficult to process. The celebrity stated, “It takes a very strong person to be around anyone going through an illness.”
Her brother was one of those “rare, beautiful people” who sacrificed everything to be at their mother’s side, and she praised him for that. His strength in doing so impressed her.
Regretfully, she thought she could have done more and felt bad for not being more involved. The year their mother died and her sister Debbie passed away at the age of forty was tragically repeated.
The model believed her sister passed away too soon as her death was strange. However, as her career took off, her life started to improve. But with celebrity came expectations regarding her physical appearance.
Finding and Maintaining Fame despite Being Asked to Lose Weight
Despite all of her struggles, the actress made her Hollywood debut in “Baywatch.” Having worked in the field for more than 30 years, her career was thriving by 2018. With five Playboy covers under her belt and a plethora of credits on her IMDb, she had accomplished considerable success performing live and occasionally even in skimpy underwear.
The famous person also published a popular compilation of aerobics videos. Her relationship with Dave Navarro, including their courting and engagement, was televised on MTV long before celebrities began to do the same.
The interviewer said, “You look gorgeous,” to the celebrity in August 2024 before inquiring as to whether she always knew it. The celebrity sheepishly acknowledged that, despite her extreme insecurity, having a Glam squad greatly helps.
The actress said that she felt under pressure to meet beauty standards when she thought back to her “Baywatch” days. In her own words, “I was always told I need to lose weight.” The celebrity, who learned classical ballet, discovered that the unfavorable advise haunted her over time.
She said, “I would take it to heart.” The “After Baywatch: Moment in the Sun” star, however, said of her past self, “I love my body, and I love that I was curvy and not straight up and down.”
Her “Baywatch” supervisors used to frequently tell her to stop eating snacks, but she has now learned to appreciate herself and be more confident in her appearance. Because of her experience as a professional dancer, she briefly considered their advise seriously.
According to the actress, “It was always engraved in my mind growing up.” But as she gets older, she’s become more set in her ways and won’t change how she looks.
She continued, “I love being part of this era where you can’t just tell someone how they should live, who they should date, or what weight they should be.” The celebrity is glad that people are accepting them as they come into their own.
She also expressed her gratitude to her supporters, saying that without them, none of her achievements would have been possible. Her admirers could see why she honored them when they saw her appearance.
