There once was a time when Krista Allen thought of becoming a teacher. She even has an education degree from the Unversity of Texas. But before committing to a life as a teacher, she thought she would try her hand in acting, and moved to California to see if it works out.
Apparently, that was the right call for her. Allen began getting acting jobs, starting with a lead role in “Emmanuelle in Space” which was followed by a four-year stint on the soap opera “Days of Our Lives”. She was cast on “Baywatch” as Jenna Avid in 2000.

Donna D'Errico has always been glamorous, even before her "Baywatch" days. She used to run a limousine company in Las Vegas prior to appearing in Playboy magazine as the September issue centerfold in 1995.
After her Playboy appearance, D'Errico was finally cast as Donna Marco on "Baywatch" and became a household name.
