After Pamela Anderson took off her “Baywatch” swimsuit, Jeremy Jackson sneaked into her trailer to sniff it.
More than twenty years after the end of the cult series “Baywatch”, there is a reunion with the actors of the Malibu lifeguards. Actress Nicole Eggert (52), who played Summer Quinn in two seasons, has brought together more than 35 former series actors as producer to talk about their time on the lifeguard set in the new format “After Baywatch: Moment in the Sun” (released in the USA on the streaming service Hulu).

What would they think?'” In the documentary, he now breaks his silence: “If you haven’t slept for five days, you’ve been smoking crystal meth and then someone looked you in the eye and said, ‘Dude, are you OK?’ it’s the worst thing that can happen.”
Drugs and assault
In 1999, the year the series was last broadcast, he was arrested for drug offenses. He spent 90 days in jail and then checked himself into rehab. “My life slipped through my hands like sand,” he sums up.
