Born on the 13th of January 1972 in
Glendale, California, Nicole Elizabeth Eggert had a beautiful face that
drew more than its fair share of pinches as a baby. Confident in her
daughter's looks, mother Gina entered her in the Miss Universe Petite
Division Pageant and Nicole, only five years old, went home with the
crown. Agents looking for child actors were enthralled with this young
beauty queen and soon, the Eggerts had a star on their hands.
Nicole appeared in several commercials, including one for Johnson's Baby
Shampoo, and, seeing her natural poise and appreciation for the camera,
her parents decided to let her pursue a very early career in acting. In
1979, she appeared as Robert Urich's daughter in the made-for-TV movie,
When She Was Bad... and landed a guest spot on Fantasy Island in 1981.
That same year, she lent her voice to "Loretta" in a Charlie Brown TV
special and was cast as William Shatner's daughter in the popular series,
T.J. Hooker. She kept up an amazing streak of jobs by appearing in an I
Dream of Jeannie reunion show as well in a few Who's the Boss? episodes.
Eggert gained stable footing after being cast as Jamie Powell in Charles
in Charge, a role she kept up from 1987 to 1990. She started to develop a
strong following and bonded so well with the cast that she even dated
Scott Baio (of Happy Days fame), who is 11 years her senior.
Eggert stepped into the movie spotlight with Blown Away in 1992, which
also starred two fellow child actors: Corey Feldman and Corey Haim. That
same year, her breakthrough came in the form of one-piece bathing suits,
T&A and David Hasselhoff with the role of Roberta "Summer" Quinn on
Baywatch. Along with other beauties like Pamela Anderson, Eggert
flourished in the role and even got breast enlargements to better fill out
her swimsuit. After two seasons of popularity, however, Eggert realized
that she didn't want to be pigeonholed as yet another bombshell. She
possessed too much talent to simply fall into obscurity like other
Baywatch babes and Eggert left the show.
Removing her implants after quitting the show, Eggert hoped to have a
little more clout now that her name was known. Unfortunately, life after a
big-time TV show was not as successful as Eggert had anticipated. B-movies
and independent films now dotted her resume, with The Demolitionist in
1995, and Bartender, The Price of Kissing, and Pink as the Day She Was
Born, all in 1997.
Physically, she was still a gem. Through a friend's good word, Eggert got
the chance to pose nude for the cover of Lemonade and Brownies, Sugar
Ray's debut album. Thanks to the picture, the album cover is often rated
as the hottest cover of all time.
All of Nicole's plans were put on hold one winter day in Lake Tahoe, in
1996. Riding on a snowmobile, Eggert was involved in an accident, leaving
her with three broken vertebrae. Spending time recuperating, Eggert
reassessed her priorities in life, and decided to be more selective in her
roles and settle down with a family.
Following up on her second promise, Eggert gave birth to daughter Dilyn in
1998. Career-wise, Eggert starred opposite Coolio in the straight-to-video
Submerged (2000), which she followed up with a pretty solid job in
Triangle Square (2001).
Despite a failure to land a quality role since Baywatch, the media never
forgot her; several men's magazines featured spreads of a seductive Eggert
in 2003. Poised for a breakthrough with the release of Mob Dot Com, we
hope that Eggert has found a comfortable niche once again.
Eggert was married to actor Justin Herwick (now separated) 1 child |
