[edit] Quotes
- "For all the concern about bodies and weight, "Baywatch" (1989) has three huge catering trucks on the set always. One is entrees, one appetisers and one is junk food. It's already enough to feed three crews. They'd stick them in our faces, but I had a clause in my contract that said I had to stay within five pounds of 105 lbs. It was torture!"
- "I did a scene after a huge rainfall and there was all this stuff floating in the water. We finally found a dry spot and started frolicking in the waves before looking down to see something just below the water, and it was this big bloated dead guy. I let the coroner's office take away the body. I was not going to try saving that one."
