Baywatch has a strong legacy in pop culture, to the point that even many people who never tuned into the original series or the 2017 feature film associate the name with red bathing suits and running across beaches. Now, however, stars of the original series that ran from 1989-2001 are seizing the opportunity to tell their real behind-the-scenes stories with an upcoming Hulu docuseries, with former star and doc executive producer Nicole Eggert getting candid ahead of time about her journey. Nicole Eggert joined Baywatch in 1992 and would be a series regular for the third and fourth seasons, and later appeared in the reunion TV movie that aired on Fox in 2003.
Despite a relatively short stint ( compared to David Hasselhoff , anyway) on the series that ran for eleven seasons and more than 200 episodes, her time on the show would follow her through the rest of her career. Ahead of the After Baywatch: Moment in the Sun docuseries that will release for Hulu subscribers in August, Eggert said at the summer TCA press tour (via USA Today ): I still see a lot of articles that show me at age 19 in my red swimsuit and then me at 52 years old in the market, and the articles are like, 'What happened to her?' Let's talk about what happened. While Eggert had a longer run in Charles in Charge prior to Baywatch and went on to appear in a variety of projects after Baywatch including the always-popular genre of TV Christmas movies, she is likely best known for her role as lifeguard Summer Quinn.
