Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff, ‘Baywatch’ Actress and Ex-Wife of David Hasselhoff, Dies at 62. Hollywood is mourning the loss of Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff, the actress best known for her roles in Baywatch and Knight Rider. She passed away on March 5, 2025, in Los Angeles at the age of 62. Born on October 16, 1962, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Pamela Bach pursued acting with determination throughout the 1980s and 1990s. She earned early credits on television soap operas and TV movies before landing parts in two iconic shows of their era—Knight Rider and Baywatch. On Baywatch, she portrayed Kate “Kaye” Morgan, a character who appeared across multiple seasons and became one of her most recognizable roles.

In addition to her appearances in those hit series, Bach also starred in The Young and the Restless in 1991 and later joined the cast of the short-lived NBC drama Sirens. Known for her professionalism and approachable nature, colleagues often described her as someone who brought both warmth and dedication to every project.

Her personal life was equally in the public eye. In 1989, she married actor David Hasselhoff, star of Knight Rider and Baywatch. The couple’s marriage, which lasted until 2006, made them one of Hollywood’s most visible pairs during the 1990s. Together, they had two daughters, Taylor-Ann and Hayley, both of whom have pursued careers in the entertainment industry.

In a statement following her passing, the Hasselhoff family expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support while requesting privacy during this difficult time.

Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff leaves behind a legacy defined by persistence, talent, and resilience.

While she never reached the same level of stardom as her former husband, her contributions to television in the 1980s and 1990s ensured her a lasting place in the history of American pop culture.
