She was born on October 16, 1963, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Pamela pursued a career in acting, landing roles in popular TV series and films during the 1980s and 1990s.
Her most notable work came from guest appearances on shows like Baywatch and Knight Rider, as well as roles in soap operas and made-for-TV movies. In 1991, she starred in The Young and the Restless and later appeared in Sirens, a short-lived crime drama series. Though her acting career never reached the same heights as her former husband’s, she remained a recognizable figure in Hollywood, often attending red carpet events and making television appearances.
Pamela married David Hasselhoff in 1989, and the couple became a high-profile Hollywood pair. They had two daughters, Taylor and Hayley Hasselhoff, both of whom followed careers in entertainment. Taylor became an actress and model, while Hayley found success as a plus-size model and reality TV star. The couple divorced in 2006 after nearly 17 years of marriage.
Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff is survived by her two daughters, Taylor, 34, and Hayley, 32, whom she shared with her ex-husband, David Hasselhoff. Her Instagram was filled with heartfelt posts about her daughters and her grandchild. Taylor welcomed a daughter, London, in August, with her husband, Madison Fiore, whom she married in February 2023.
