Pamela Anderson (C.J. Parker)

Pamela Anderson joined the cast in season 3 and quickly became the show’s most recognizable star. Portraying the compassionate and skilled C.J. Parker, she remained a series regular for five seasons, defining the show’s visual energy with her iconic slow-motion runs in the trademark red swimsuit.

Her character was often central to the show’s emotional heart, known for her interest in meditation and animal rights, mirroring Anderson’s real-life activism. Beyond the beach, C.J. was a veteran lifeguard who served as a mentor to newcomers before the character eventually left the series in 1997.
