Pamela Bach in Baywatch: Character and other details explained
The Tulsa, Oklahoma native's appearance in Baywatch contributed to making her a popular face among the public. Pamela's character, Kaye Morgan, was in her 20s and was known for her blonde hair and green eyes.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Pamela Bach was first featured on the show in 1991. Kaye Morgan appeared in around 14 episodes until 2001, and the character operated a surf restaurant. She was previously a news reporter and had a close friendship with Mitch Buchannon and many Baywatch lifeguards.
Although Kaye was a recurring character, she was a part of four seasons, starting from season 2. Bach was last seen in the 21st episode from season 6, titled Last Wave.
The character Mitch Buchannon was coincidentally played by Pamela Bach's ex-husband David Hasselhoff, starting in 1989, the same year the former couple tied the knot. Although the pair first met on the NBC show Knight Rider around four years ago, they were in a relationship with different people at the time.
The duo's respective situations changed by 1988, and David recalled his second meeting with Pamela in the memoir Making Waves by saying:
“I went to the opening of a club called the Last Tango in Studio City, Sherman Oaks. Pamela was there. ‘Are you still with the comedian?’ ‘No. Are you still married?’”
While Bach confirmed that she was single, she and Hasselhoff started a conversation. However, the marriage did not last long, and the pair separated in 2006.
Also known as Pamela Weissenbach, she participated in Celebrity Big Brother more than ten years ago. Her credits included many other popular projects, such as The Young and the Restless, The Fall Guy, Sonny Spoon, Appointment with Fear, More than Puppy Love, and Castle Rock.
