Shauni McClain – Erika Eleniak – 20
Even though Erika Eleniak was merely 20 years old when she started portraying Shauni on the show, it was hardly her first acting project. She had made her big-screen debut in the early ‘80s, playing a small role in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, when she was just 13!
Nevertheless, with a smile as bright as hers, the fans loved her immediately. She started on Baywatch in 1989 and left after three seasons. During her time there, she was also engaged to her co-star and her character’s romantic interest, Billy Warlock. Sadly though, they didn’t end up lasting.
