Pamela Bach, a talented actor known for her roles on "Baywatch" and "The Young and the Restless," passed away on Wednesday. The ex-wife of David Hasselhoff, Bach's cause of death remains under investigation. Her contributions to television, as well as her tumultuous but notable personal life, have left an indelible mark on the entertainment industry.
Bach first met David Hasselhoff on the set of his hit series "Knight Rider," leading to a swift romance. The couple married in December 1989 and had two daughters, Taylor and Hayley. Despite their initial happiness, their marriage faced challenges, culminating in Hasselhoff filing for divorce in January 2006. Throughout the separation, Bach publicly accused Hasselhoff of domestic abuse, adding tension to their already contentious split.
Their divorce proceedings garnered significant media attention. A video surfaced during this period showing Hasselhoff inebriated and eating a burger, which temporarily affected his visitation rights with their daughters. The privileges were restored after two weeks. Despite the difficulties, Bach maintained a compassionate stance toward her ex-husband.
“I’ve always loved him and always will, and have love and compassion for him,”
- Pamela Bach
Bach's career spanned several notable projects, including her participation as a contestant on the 2011 season of "Celebrity Big Brother" in the UK. Her performances on "Baywatch" and "The Young and the Restless" showcased her versatility and dedication to her craft.
In response to her passing, David Hasselhoff expressed gratitude for the support received during this challenging time while also requesting privacy.
“We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support during this difficult time but we kindly request privacy as we grieve and navigate through this challenging time.”
