Yasmine Amanda Bleeth (born on June 14, 1968) is an American TV and film actress who was born in New York City.
Her American father is Jewish, while her Algerian-born mother, Carina Bleeth (who died of breast cancer at the age of 28) was of Catholic French ancestry. She has a younger brother, Tristan Bleeth. Yasmine’s earliest known acting role was in a Johnson’s baby shampoo television commercial at age six months at the end of 1968 or the beginning of 1969.
Following the “Pamela Path” to stardom, Yasmine hopped on board the babefest Baywatch and watched her Hollywood star rise to the top of the tinseltown sky.
Hailing from The Big Apple, Yasmine popped out in the mid-summer heat of June in 1968. Unlike most celebs, Yasmine was born, raised, and rose to stardom in New York City. She began her career a little young, as she was only 6 months old when she was featured in a Johnson & Johnson commercial. At age 6, she was appearing in cosmetics ads. She attended high school at the city’s United Nations International School.
She got her start on the soap “Ryan’s Hope” and a boost with “One Life to Live.” But it wasn’t until a three year stint on the Baywatch series that Yasmine became a household name. After leaving the show, she didn’t detour to Playboy like a number of her costars (Pamela Anderson, Carmen Electra, et. al). Instead she grabbed a role in “Nash Bridges” (with Don Johnson) and has attempted to grab a slab of fame from the small screen, but has really missed all the way. We certainly forgive her though.
In her years, she had been offered a number of roles by one Aaron Spelling, but consistenly turned him down. Among the roles she refused were “Pacific Palisades” and “Beverly Hills 90210.” She finally took him up on his offers with “Titans”, a prime-soap that died before it even took off.
Off the screen, the only consistent man in her life is a Boston Terrier named Elvis. But she has been linked to Richard Greico.
