When Nicole Eggert joined Roberta “summer” Quinn in 1992, life wasn’t always sunshine and rainbow.
In the latest episode of the recent "Still Hollywood" podcast, Eggert announced her experience on the hit shows.
Eggert joins Season 3's "Baywatch," but she initially appeared in the show's spin-off, which has a "90210'Sque" feel on the beach.

"They're like, 'nothing. It works, we want it to be."
Two seasons later, Eggert “politely succumbed to “Baywatch” because it wasn’t what she registered.
“I had a crazy idea in my mind that if I left the show, I would be able to get rid of the stigma that the show gave us all as actors, and that’s not the same thing.”

"People have an idea of who you are, and that's probably a lot of things. I think it's hard for them to know you without this preconceived idea."
Nicole said she was “not like anyone” and she played on screen, which was abandoned in her dating life.

"It's strange." Eggart admitted simply. “We were torn apart in the media,” the actress said, “the casting door is no longer open” due to negative pressure.

"Oh my god, do we wear swimsuits all day every day?" She remembers thinking on day 1.
“All the girls are working out, very small and healthy, I was like, ‘whops’. One-piece swimsuit is not likable. “It’s not what I signed up for. It was a completely different show and court, not a place I wanted to be. ”

While shooting "Baywatch", Eggert (18) decided to go under the knife. "I regret it now," she explained.
“I looked at all these young girls doing it and thought, ‘God, don’t care about your body!’ But when you have to wear pieces, like you’re so flat, like pleating, you get the pleat in front… You’re like, “What is this? “There’s nothing you can do.
As time goes by, Eggert begins to question why she actually completed the program. She admitted, "It was a stupid 18-year-old decision."
