Jessie Owens – Brooke Burns – 20

With her tall stature, blue eyes, and blonde hair, Brooke Burns was perfect in every possible way to play on Baywatch. Once she turned 20, she was cast on the show, playing Jessie Owens for its last couple of seasons, from 1998 until 2001. Before that, she had played in shows like Ally McBeal and Out of the Blue.

She had to leave the show once she became pregnant with her first child. Her daughter was born in 2000, whom she had with her ex-husband, Julian McMahon, from Home & Away. Nevertheless, she certainly stayed long enough to make an impact and ensure her career’s longevity.
