 Born June 14, 1968 in New York, Yasmine Bleeth
has distinguished herself from the rest of the 'typecast' Baywatch cast
by proving she can act, and not just fill out a bathing suit. Her acting
career though began when she was only six months old, with an endorsement
with Johnson & Johnson baby shampoo. She also landed her first cosmetics
job at the age of six, with an appearance in a Max Factor campaign. Bleeth
attended the United Nations International School in New York while she
was doing modeling and acting jobs, though she also drew cold feelings
from her classmates, who used to call her "Spazzy Yazzy" because
of her unusual name. One time when a movie role sent her away a few months
she received strange looks before one of her friends had told her they
all had thought she had left to have a child, which she said devastated
her at the age of 14. Yasmine began her soap opera career at only the
age of 16, when she got the role of Ryan Fenelli in the ABC Soap Ryan's
Hope. Her stint their lasted four years and she continued in that vein
in 1991 with a role in another ABC soap One Life To Live. Perhaps her
most recognized role to this date though landed shortly after her One
Life... role ended, when she got the part of Caroline Holden in the syndicated
hit Baywatch in 1994. Her three years there helped land her the distinction
of People's 50 Most Beautiful People in 1995. Yasmine's success continued
after her Baywatch run was up with several appearances in made for TV
and big screen roles. She has starred in The Lake, Ultimate Betrayal,
Road Rage, and A Face To Die For on the TV movie circuit, while landing
roles in BASEketball and Undercover Angels on the big screen. Her most
recent TV series role has been playing as Caitlin Cross alongside Don
Johnson in the CBS hit Nash Bridges. Yasmine had a relationship with Matthew Perry and
in face was even in the video for the Rembrandts follow-up hit to "I'll
Be There For You" with "This House Is Not A Home". Her
most recent and most serious relationship though has been with Richard
Grieco, who is best known for his role in 21 Jump Street. There relationship
has had its ups and downs and is greatly strained by the fact that Grieco
had an affair while dating Bleeth in 1998 with his ex-girlfriend Kimber
Sissons, where she reports during that one month period she was living
with the actor she became pregnant with his child. What's troubling though
are reports that Grieco is a deadbeat dad, which are being leveled at
him by Kimber, who claims Grieco has only paid her $1,000 in child support
and has never visited his boy, despite the fact he owns a $1.46 million
home in LA with $92 thousand in furnishings and another $34 thousand in
art, in addition to an exotic car collection. Friends say Richard fears
that establishing a relationship with his son may jeopardize his relationship
with Bleeth. Goodbye Casanova (2000) .... Lavinia
