Pamela Bach, a notable actress known for her roles in popular television shows and movies, passed away at the age of 62. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office confirmed that she died by suicide on Wednesday at her home in Los Angeles. Bach was widely recognized not only for her screen presence but also as the ex-wife of actor David Hasselhoff.
Bach made her screen debut in 1973 with an episode of the soap opera "The Young and the Restless." Over the years, she graced the screens in various shows, including multiple appearances on "Baywatch" alongside Hasselhoff. Her acting career also included roles in "Cheers," "The Fall Guy," "Sonny Spoon," and "Sirens." In 1985, she starred in an episode of "Knight Rider," where she met Hasselhoff, who would later become her husband.
Pamela Bach and David Hasselhoff married in 1989, marking the beginning of a 17-year union that ended in 2006. The couple shared two daughters, Taylor and Hayley. Despite their separation, Bach remained a significant figure in the entertainment industry, with her film credits including titles such as "Appointment With Fear," "Nudity Required," "Route 66," "More Than Puppy Love," and "Mansion of Blood." Her last onscreen appearance was in the 2015 film "Mansion of Blood."
Throughout their marriage, Bach accused Hasselhoff of domestic violence, allegations he denied. Following their divorce, Hasselhoff married model Hayley Roberts in 2018, marking his third marriage. Before her marriage to Hasselhoff, Bach had been married to another individual, whose name has not been publicly disclosed.
In response to Bach's passing, her family expressed their sorrow through a statement released by PEOPLE.
