Today marks the eighth anniversary of the last episode of the epochal TV series Baywatch. The enormously popular melodrama featuring a bevy of buxom, braless lifeguard babes has been translated into 44 languages, shown in 148 countries, and, at the height of its popularity, watched by 1,100,000,000 people worldwide (about three times the population of the US).

Aside from being the de facto ambassador of American culture to the world, Baywatch, despite not having nudity, has also supplied some of the hottest women ever to get naked on screen. It would take more than one blog to name them all, but here are a few of my favor-tits.

Krista Allen

She played Jenna Avid on the show from 1999-2001, but one of her other TV characters turned out to be much more skin-friendly: In 1994, Krista became the latest in a long line of hot babes to portray the softcore heroine Emmanuelle in a cable series called Emmanuelle in Space. Krista not only showed funbags, fanny and furburger in every episode, she even had a scorching hot Sapphic romp with Tiendra Demian in an episode called A Lesson In Love.

Pamela Anderson

Playing the iconic C.J. Parker from 1992-1997, Pamela is almost as synonymous with Baywatch as David Hasselhoff himself. She has since made a name for herself in the fields of plastic surgery, animal activism, and celebrity sex tapes. Anderson's near-perfect rack and rump are visible in numerous Playboy videos and movies like Snapdragon (1993), Raw Justice (1994), Naked Souls (1995), and Barb Wire (1995). Buff said.

Nicole Eggert

Former star of the Scott Baio sitcom Charles in Charge, Nicole Eggert played sexy lifeguard Summer Quinn from 1992-1994. Among other places, you can see Nicole's knockers in the supernatural thriller The Haunting of Morella (1990), which came out smack dab in the middle of her Baywatch tour of duty. This particular movie is also noteworthy for the lesbian scene it contains between the late great Lana Clarkson and Maria Ford.

Carmen Electra

Playing Lani McKensie in the 1997-1998 season, Carmen Electra showed skin as a dancer on the late night cable series Erotic Confessions the same year she started Baywatch. For a self-styled sex kitten, Carmen has been remarkably skin-gy, but you can see her globes in The Mating Habits of the Earthbound Human (1999). It's Electra-ic!

Erika Elaniak

The original Baywatch babe Erika Elaniak played Shauni McClain from 1989 to 1992, when Pam Anderson came on board. Like Carmen Electra, Erika also showed skin elsewhere the same year she was cast in the show. In Erika's case, it was a spread in Playboy magazine. For a look at Elaniak's phony rack, check out the Dennis Hopper-directed comedy Chasers (1994), where Erika displays her 34C's and her grade-A rump roast as she's handcuffed to a bed. She's a maniac!
