Internationally acclaimed actress Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff received Germany's Otto Award, honoring her status as one of the country's favorite actresses. She was among a select few actresses to star in two television series simultaneously. This versatile performer successfully balanced her thriving career with her personal life. Pamela appeared in the film Castle Rock (2000) alongside Ernest Borgnine, Alana Austin, Wolf Larson, and Frank Gorshin for TAG Entertainment (Showtime), directed by Craig Clyde. She also starred as Millian Black in the comedy The Sicilian Bachelor at the American Renegade Theatre in Los Angeles' NoHo Arts District.
Pamela is best remembered for her roles on Baywatch (1989) and Sirens (1993). She skillfully portrayed two distinct characters over several seasons, including a decade on Baywatch. As Kaye Morgan, she played a café owner who stayed involved and offered help when needed. On Sirens, she was Ellen Baskin, a straightforward and top-ranking police psychologist. Until the final season, she frequently traveled between Los Angeles beaches and Montreal.
She featured in the film More Than Puppy Love (2000) (Showtime), filmed entirely in Kansas City with Diane Ladd, and appeared in Route 66 (1998) as the Stepmother, alongside Diane Ladd, Alana Austin, Richard Moll, Mat McCoy, and Bruce Weitz. This film was directed by Steve Austin and written and produced by Shauna Leigh Austin.
Pamela made her film debut when legendary director Francis Ford Coppola cast her in Rumble Fish (1983), shot in Oklahoma with Matt Dillon, Vincent Spano, and Mickey Rourke. After being encouraged by industry professionals, she moved to Los Angeles. To support herself and continue her education while pursuing acting, Pamela worked as a page on several popular television series. After a year in California, she relocated to New York to focus on theater, signing with the Ford Petite Modeling Agency and becoming a top petite model featured on magazine covers. She co-starred off-Broadway in Crimes of the Heart and acted in various plays over two years. Comedy became a foundation of her career; she worked with Joe Piscopo for over two years, performing on stage, in concerts, nightclubs, TV specials, and talk shows, honing her craft as Piscopo's sidekick. She then secured a special with George Burns, from whom she learned valuable performance techniques and timing.
Upon returning to Los Angeles, Pamela established herself as a working actress, guest-starring on numerous TV shows, specials, and movies of the week, including George Burns Half-Hour Comedy Hour (1985), Cheers (1982), The Young and the Restless (1973), The Fall Guy (1981), Superboy (1988), The Joe Piscopo New Jersey Special (1986), True Confessions (1981), T.J. Hooker (1982), and Knight Rider (1982). She also starred in plays such as Dora, I Remember Mama, and Lilion. Her film credits include The Appointment (1982) and The Men's Club (1986). Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Pamela was the middle of three sisters. Raised by her mother and stepfather, who together fostered 37 children, she had strong role models. Pamela's performing debut came at age nine when she sang "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head," igniting her love for the stage. She completed two years as an engineering major at Northeastern Oklahoma Junior College and was a certified lifeguard, avid scuba diver, skier, and skilled marksman.
Pamela balanced her career as an actress and producer with motherhood, raising two daughters while serving as president of her own production company.
