Pamela Bach, ‘Baywatch’ Actor and David Hasselhoff’s Ex-Wife, Dies at 62

As a film enthusiast, I’m deeply saddened to share that Pamela Bach, who graced our screens on “Baywatch” and shared her life with its iconic star David Hasselhoff for 16 years, passed away on Wednesday. Tragically, she took her own life at her residence in Los Angeles. The county medical examiner confirmed the cause of death to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Bach was just 62 years old.

Actress Bach has been working in the screen industry for over five decades. Her initial role was as a child actor, appearing as a guest star on “The Young and the Restless” in 1973. During the ’90s, her longest-running series role was on “Baywatch,” where she played multiple characters across 14 episodes.

Pamela Bach’s tenure on “Baywatch” commenced not long after she tied the knot with the show’s lead actor, Hasselhoff; they had first crossed paths during Bach’s guest role on “Nightrider” in the 1980s. They got married in 1989 and welcomed two daughters, Taylor and Hayley into their family. Their marriage ended in 2006 amidst accusations by Pamela of domestic abuse against Hasselhoff, which he refuted at that time.

David Hasselhoff expressed deep sorrow over the death of his family member, Pamela Hasselhoff. He made this statement on X. We appreciate the sympathy and condolences that have been pouring in during these tough times, but we ask for privacy as we mourn and work through this hard period.

Throughout his career, Bach made guest appearances on shows like “Cheers,” “Baywatch Nights,” “Castle Rock” and “The Fall Guy,” which are also notable.

Originating from Tulsa, Oklahoma on October 16, 1963, this individual started modeling during their teenage years and later enrolled at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College. In her professional journey, she participated in the U.K. reality show “Celebrity Big Brother.

Bach is survived by her ex-husband, Hasselhoff, and their daughters.
