| Biography:
Yasmine Bleeth, voted one of People Magazine's
"50 Most Beautiful People" of 1995 has starred as Caroline Holden on the
internationally renowned, highly- rated, hit series "Baywatch." More
recently, she assumed the role of Cailtlin Cross in the police series "Nash
Bridges".
Yasmine began her career at the early age of 6 months, when she was featured
as the Johnson & Johnson Baby. At age six, she appeared in a Max Factor
campaign, along with Christina Ferrara. Her work in this campaign caught the
eye of fashion photographer, Francesco Scavullo, who subsequently included
her in his self-entitled book "Scavullo's Women." At the age of 12, Yasmine
was cast opposite Buddy Hackett in the feature film Hey Babe.
Bilingual, Bleeth attended the United Nations School (UNIS) in New York
City, where she continued modeling and acting. Bleeth, then 16, won the role
of Ryan Fenelli and the hearts of millions on the ABC Soap Opera "Ryan's
Hope." In 1991, staying in the ABC family, she created the role as the
sultry, misunderstood Lee Anne Demerest on the highly acclaimed Soap Opera,
"One Life To Live."
Yasmine has definitely became a multi-media woman. She completed a
full-motion live action entertainment CD-ROM titled Maximum Surge (Digital
Pictures) directed by award winning special effects wizard, William Mesa
(Oscar nominated for the box office blockbuster, The Fugitive.) Bleeth plays
Jo, an ace computer engineer who is responsible for providing game players
with the guidance and technical know-how to help defeat the evil dictator,
Drexel. Maximum Surge is released for PC, Mac and Sega Saturn.
During her hiatus from "Baywatch", she completed a starring role in the
feature film, Heaven or Vegas for Cineville Pictures, and played in the TV
movies "Talk to Me" and "A Face to Die For." After three years of baywatch
Yasmine decided to do more "serious" work and she has found her entry into
the film business. She performed in two more TV movies "Crowned and
Dangerous" and "The Lake" and she has done big screen movies It Came from
the Sky and BASEketball.
More recently, it seems as if Yasmine is going through some very turbulent
times. She was sentenced in January 2002 to two years probation on a
cocaine-possession charge where the actress will also undergo regular drug
tests, serve 100 hours of community service and pay court costs. It appears
as if her current fiance, Paul Cerrito, a three-time habitual cocaine
offender may be partly responsible. |
