LOS ANGELES (AP) – The entertainment world is mourning the loss of Pamela Bach, a beloved actor known for her roles in popular television series like “Baywatch” and “The Young and the Restless.” Bach, who was also the ex-wife of “Baywatch” star David Hasselhoff, passed away at the age of 62 in Los Angeles on Wednesday. The cause of her death is currently under investigation.
In addition to her work on television, Bach had a notable personal life intertwined with the entertainment industry. She met David Hasselhoff, her future husband, on the set of his series “Knight Rider,” before the two tied the knot in December 1989. The couple shared two daughters, Taylor and Hayley, before going through a public and tumultuous divorce in January 2006.
During their divorce, Bach accused Hasselhoff of domestic abuse, with a particular incident involving a video of him drunkenly eating a burger that temporarily affected his visitation rights with their daughters. Despite the challenges in their relationship, the actor denied the abuse allegations at the time. However, the couple eventually moved on, with Hasselhoff marrying model Hayley Roberts in 2018.
The news of Pamela Bach’s passing has sparked an outpouring of condolences and tributes from fans and colleagues in the entertainment industry. Bach’s contributions to television, including her iconic role on “Baywatch,” will be remembered by audiences worldwide. As the Los Angeles medical examiner’s office continues to investigate the cause of her death, her legacy as a talented actor and a beloved part of television history will undoubtedly endure.
