Pamela Bach, an actress who appeared on “Baywatch” and was married to its star David Hasselhoff for almost 20 years, has died. She was 62.

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s office confirmed that Bach died Wednesday, but a cause was not immediately available.

USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for Bach, Hasselhoff and the Los Angeles Police Department.

Bach starred as Kaye Morgan on “Baywatch” throughout the series’ run and appeared in an episode of Hasselhoff’s show “Knight Rider” in 1985, according to IMDb. The actress also had roles on shows like “The Young and the Restless,” “Cheers,” “The Fall Guy” and “Sirens.”

According to Hasselhoff’s 2007 autobiography “Don’t Hassel the Hoff,” Bach grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with two sisters, and began performing at age 9. She got her start in plays in Los Angeles before she was approached by an agent and decided to pursue acting as a career.

David Hasselhoff marries model Hayley Roberts

Hasselhoff married Bach in 1989 after he split from his first wife, Catherine Hickland. He and Bach shared two children, Taylor and Hayley. During their divorce in 2006, Bach leveled allegations of domestic violence against Hasselhoff. The actor went on to marry his current wife, Hayley Roberts, in 2018.

In his autobiography, Hasselhoff recalled meeting Bach, a “beautiful blonde with green eyes,” when she was a guest star in an episode of his show “Knight Rider.”

“We didn’t have any scenes together, but I had seen her on the set and, as a joke, a crew member had sent her an invitation to join me in my trailer,” he wrote. “Pamela, however, had a boyfriend, a well-known comedian, and she politely ignored the invitation.”

Hasselhoff said he and Bach met again in 1988 at the opening of a club, by which point he was no longer with his first wife, and she was no longer dating the comedian. The two quickly hit it off, he said.

“That night, we talked and talked,” Hasselhoff wrote. “I rang Pamela early next morning and we talked some more. We talked every day for a week. On Friday night I asked her out for a date. We decided to hang out. We jogged together and became friends. The last thing I wanted was to get into another long-term relationship but she was beautiful and, as she liked to say, ‘all girl.”
