Former actress and model Yasmine Bleeth recently made a rare appearance where she was unrecognizable. She stayed away from the limelight for two years and was spotted in her pajamas last week.
According to the pictures acquired by the Daily Mail, it seemed like Bleeth, 54, was out of bed since her hair was messy and tossed while she walked the streets of Los Angeles with her dog. Her outfit was simple; she opted for pink pajama bottoms, slippers, and a puffy coat to protect her from the chilly weather. While strolling around, she did not try to hide, although it was hard to recognize her.
