Baywatch Star Nicole Eggert Struggled With Her Body Image During The Series

It's hard to separate the "Baywatch" series from the image of Pamela Anderson in her "Baywatch" swimsuit, and for Nicole Eggert, it was her clue that the series was going in a different direction than she thought. "When I saw Pam come out of the trailer, she came out like Barbie!" Eggert recalled. "I was like, 'Oh no. One of us is really on the wrong page.' It was me. I was on the wrong page." 

Eggert considered herself the "tomboy, athletic one" of the cast, which caused her to harshly criticize her body compared to those of her co-stars. "I was on set at a beach with these girls walking around with these huge boobs and these perfect bodies," she said. "I was like, 'I look like a boy. I look like a man from the top.'"

These insecurities led Eggert to get breast enhancement surgery in order to match the busty look of her castmates, per the Hollywood Reporter. While some assumed Eggert did so under the direction of the show's producers, she clarified in her "Oprah" interview that the surgery was her choice.
