Born November 29, 1971
Gena Lee Nolin is an American actress and model. She is best known for her television appearances on The Price Is Right and Baywatch in the 1990s.

Gena Lee Nolin was born in Duluth, Minnesota. During her childhood, Nolin lived on a farm. An athletic child, she enjoyed ice fishing, basketball, volleyball and softball. She moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, where she worked as a waitress. She later entered the Miss Las Vegas beauty pageant--and went on to win the title.

After becoming Miss Las Vegas, Nolin got the attention of several modeling agencies. She then moved to Los Angeles, California, to pursue acting and study interior design at Santa Monica College. Nolin first worked as a waitress in Los Angeles.

In 1994, she saw a newspaper ad for the popular, long-running game show, The Price Is Right. She beat out 1,200 other women to become one of the show's Barker's Beauties. Soon afterward, Nolin appeared in the soap opera, The Young and the Restless as a model named Sandy.

ready for baywatch
This meant that Baywatch would be looking for a talking bag of bleach and silicone (we mean actress) to fill the slot, and Gena was up to the challenge. Rumor has it that to tell Gena she had won the part, producer/star, David Hasselhoff threw her an inner tube with the words "Surprise! You got the part." written on it -- that wacky bastard.

In 2000, Gena sent shockwaves across the Universe when she decided to leave Baywatch (and just after, her character married David Hasselhoff) to have her own show -- from the very same people who stole Pam Anderson for V.I.P. -- to star in her own series, Sheena.

So, as the country finds itself recovering from its darkest hour, we can always rest assured that when we have nothing to do on a Saturday afternoon, we can turn on the TV and find Gena there, smiling back at us, telling us the world is an okay place to be. And then we can turn down the sound so we don't have to hear the crappy dialogue, take off our pants, lean back, and thank this great nation for moments like these.

Commenting on her most appalling Baywatch moment :
I was rescuing one of the extras, and he grabbed my breast. And he had the worst breath. It was disgusting. They had Altoids over by the camera, but that wasn’t going to cut it — he needed an acid bath. I don’t know where they found some of these people, but this guy was foul. I had to stop. I said, ‘I’m not doing this. I can’t take it anymore.’ After the grab (of her breast), I told him, ‘You stink and your breath is foul. Clean yourself up!'"
