Gena Lee Nolin was one of the blonde babes who wore a cherry red swimsuit to play a lifeguard on the hit TV series Baywatch, which also featured Pamela Anderson and Carmen Electra.

The cutie with a dynamic smile starred as the statuesque looker Neely Capshaw. 

Like Anderson, Nolin also posed for the cover of Hugh Hefner's Playboy magazine. Her issue came out in 2001.

She went on to appear in several movies like The Underground Comedy Movie and Killing Hasselhoff. And the beauty also started a family.

But in recent years she has retreated from the limelight.

This month she was seen again on Instagram as she posed in a bikini with one of her daughters, proving she still looks spectacular at 53. See her now.

The star grew up in Las Vegas, where she won many beauty contests.

They were the Ford Models and Elite Model Management's regional 'Look of the Year' contests, and the Miss Barbizon USA national title. 

The photogenic wonder appeared in commercials for The Home Depot, Starburst and Hyundai.

As a model she posed for Sasson Jeans, Clothestime, Maui & Sons, Levi's and Swatch.

In 1994, she became one of the models on the game show The Price Is Right. The show, which was hosted by Bob Barker until 2007, features a wide variety of games and contests with the same basic challenge: guess the price of the items.

Soon afterward Nolin appeared in the soap opera The Young and the Restless as a model named Sandy.

Playing Capshaw on the television series Baywatch was a highlight of her career.

In 1998, Nolin quit Baywatch and starred in her own TV show, Sheena, from 2000 to 2002.

In 2001, Nolin posed nude for the Christmas edition of Playboy after turning the magazine down several times. 

She has appeared in men's magazines such as Maxim, Stuff, Playboy, and FHM. In 2001, she was listed as one of FHM's sexiest women in the world.

She was in a music video with Billy Currington called I Got a Feelin'.

Nolin released her first book with Simon & Schuster titled Beautiful Inside and Out, Conquering Thyroid Disease with a Healthy, Happy, 'Thyroid Sexy' Life, in October 2013.

She married Greg Fahlman on November 27, 1993. 

They have a son. In 2001, Nolin divorced Fahlman and married former NHL hockey player Cale Hulse in 2004. Nolin and Hulse have two children.

In July she talked to K9 about working on Baywatch.

'Our show was authentic but I think it gave people a certain opinion about me. That's been another great thing about the book, people realized there was a lot more to me than what they thought,' she said.

And she said these days TV is so different. 

'I think TV nowadays is a very different world, I like certain things but reality TV has really taken over, and a lot of reality is heavily produced, which a lot of people don't always realise because it has a borderline script, and in fact I didn't realize myself until I was involved in a reality show and I discovered then.

'Reality has the appeal for some viewers because you might have a character that's a loose cannon, so they're made for TV.'

She also touched on the fake stories about her.

'Over the years there's been so much, I try not to read them. They've said everything from I'm a bimbo to I've had plastic surgery, ridiculous things, but you can't stand on a soapbox and shout "that's not true" about everything so I try to ignore it as much as possible.

'Howard Stern says it best "there's so many haters out there, you can't make everyone happy."'
