Born Pamela Weissenbach on October 16, 1962, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Bach carved her path in Hollywood with a stage name that became synonymous with ’80s and ’90s TV. Her acting journey kicked off with a guest spot on Knight Rider in 1985, where she first crossed paths with Hasselhoff, then the show’s leather-clad star. That chance meeting sparked a romance that led to their 1989 marriage—and a partnership that would see them share the Baywatch screen years later.

   Bach appeared in 14 episodes of the iconic beach series between 1991 and 2000, most notably as café owner Kaye Morgan. Her roles stretched beyond the lifeguard towers, with credits on The Young and the Restless, Cheers, and Sirens, showcasing her versatility across drama and comedy. But it was her real-life role as Hasselhoff’s wife and mother to their daughters, Taylor (34) and Hayley (32), that often stole headlines—especially during their messy 2006 divorce after 17 years together.

  David Hasselhoff, now 72, broke his silence with a heartfelt statement shared with PEOPLE and TMZ: “Our family is deeply saddened by the recent passing of Pamela Hasselhoff. We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support during this difficult time but kindly request privacy as we grieve.” The Baywatch legend, who remarried model Hayley Roberts in 2018, reportedly learned of Bach’s death after family members grew concerned when they hadn’t heard from her in days.

 Bach’s daughters have yet to speak publicly, though Hayley posted a poignant white heart emoji alongside a 1996 photo of her parents on Instagram Stories—a quiet tribute amid the storm of loss. Just months ago, Bach was beaming with pride over her new role as a grandmother to Taylor’s daughter, London, born in August 2024. Her final Instagram post on New Year’s Eve 2024 radiated joy, featuring a video of London giggling and a caption calling every moment “precious.” The contrast between that happiness and her tragic end has left many hearts heavy.

Yet, in recent years, she seemed to find light again. Speaking to Closer Weekly in 2019, Bach reflected fondly on her ex, saying, “David and I have a great relationship now. We’ve both moved on, but we’ll always have that bond.” Her love for her family shone through her social media, where she celebrated her daughters and granddaughter with a warmth that endeared her to followers.

The Los Angeles Police Department responded to her Hollywood Hills home around 10 p.m. on March 5, pronouncing her dead at the scene. As the investigation continues, her official cause of death awaits final confirmation—but the early reports paint a picture of a life ended by choice, leaving behind a legacy of resilience and heartbreak.
