LOS ANGELES (AP) — Pamela Bach, a well-known actor and the former wife of “Baywatch” star David Hasselhoff, has passed away at the age of 62. According to the Los Angeles medical examiner’s office, Bach died on Wednesday, and the cause of her death is currently under investigation.
Pamela Bach, who was also recognized by her married name Pamela Hasselhoff, was best known for her roles on popular television series. She made her mark on the iconic soap opera “The Young and the Restless” and gained further fame for her appearance on the hit series “Baywatch.” It was on the set of another series, “Knight Rider,” where she first met her future husband, David Hasselhoff, marking the beginning of a significant chapter in her life.
Bach and Hasselhoff tied the knot in December 1989 and welcomed two daughters, Taylor and Hayley, into their family. However, their marriage faced numerous challenges, leading to Hasselhoff filing for divorce in January 2006. Their split was marked by controversy, with Bach accusing Hasselhoff of domestic abuse.
The couple’s tumultuous relationship attracted media attention, particularly when a video surfaced showing David Hasselhoff during an alcohol-fueled incident, where he was filmed drunkenly eating a burger. This incident temporarily resulted in him losing visitation rights with his daughters, although those rights were reinstated after two weeks. At the time, Hasselhoff acknowledged that the video depicted him during an alcohol relapse but vehemently denied the allegations of abuse made by Bach.
The news of Pamela Bach’s passing has shocked many in the entertainment industry and her fans alike. As the former wife of a prominent television star and a talented actor in her own right, Bach’s contributions to television will not be forgotten. A message sent to David Hasselhoff’s representative was not immediately returned, leaving many to reflect on the complicated legacy of their relationship and the impact it had on their family.
