It's summertime: time for running on the beach, hanging out in your swimsuit, and doing some serious people-watching of hot babes in bikinis. Basically, it's Baywatch vibes. Speaking of, I have been rewatching old episodes of Baywatch and I continue to be surprised by how many stars appeared on Baywatch. We know the basics stars: Pamela Anderson, Alexandra Paul, and Yasmeen Bleeth.

But there are a lot of other stars who got their start appearing on Baywatch. That makes sense when you consider that the hit series aired from 1989 to 2003. That is an incredible run which means that the show featured skincredible babes at all stages of their careers.

Charisma Carpenter

Before starring in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Charisma proved that she had charisma with her television debut. This was her first role ever when she played Wendie Sanders on an episode of season five.

Mariska Hargitay

In 1989, the brunette babe played Lisa Peters on an episode entitled "Second Wave". It was only the third episode of the first season and a far cry from her starring role in Law Order: SVU.

Sofia Vergara

Before she was famous among English-speaking Americans by making us all laugh on Modern Family, Sofia was a host on Univsion. The sexy South American appeared as herself in a 1999 episode - bathing suit and all!

Mila Kunis

Mila made her television debut when she was just a child. In 1994, she played a little girl named Annie. The following year she played a girl named Bonnie. No one seemed to mind because even as a first-timer Mila was an amazing actress. Who knew she would soon go on to become one of the most iconic characters on TV?

Shiri Appleby

The UnREAL star had a one-episode arc as Hobie's girlfriend. Allegedly, there were complaints about her breast size on set. In 2015, she said in an interview with Elle that she had auditioned for several roles on Baywatch. However, she was too flat-chested for them! They would ask her to make her cleavage bigger to which she said: "I was like, 'There's nothing to make bigger here, guys.' It wasn't much of an acting role."

Carrie-Anne Moss

The Matrix star was SO hot that she played twins. One of the hot twins was good and the other was bad. Was one of the twins in The Matrix?

null

Angie Harmon

Angie appeared in an episode in season six and her character was so charismatic that she appeared on the spinoff Baywatch Nights which only lasted for two seasons and was like Baywatch meets X-Files. Angie's body has always been out-of-this-world. I want to believe...that she loved being on Baywatch!

Baywatch launched so many sexy careers! The show is always worth watching, so I highly suggest it for some easy-going summer fun. Don't believe me? Maybe this sexy scene with Pamela Anderson will help encourage you to revisit a couple of episodes of Baywatch:
