Voted one of People Magazine's 50 Most Beautiful of 1995,Yasmine Bleeth started her career at the early age of eight months, when she was featured as the Johnson & Johnson Baby.

By age six, Yasmine appeared in a Max Factor advertising campaign, along with Christina Ferrare. Her work in this campaign caught the eye of fashion photographer, Francesco Scavullo, who subsequently included Bleeth in his self-entitled book Scavullo's Women. At the age of 12, Yasmine was cast opposite Buddy Hacket in the feature film "Hey Babe".

Bi-lingual Bleeth attended United Nations International School (UNIS) in New York City, where she continued modeling and acting. Bleeth, then 16, won the role of Ryan Fenelli and the hearts of millions on the ABC television soap opera "Ryan's Hope". In 1991, staying in the ABC family, Bleeth created the role as the sexy hot, misunderstood Lee Anne Demerest on the highly acclaimed soap opera "One Life To Live".

Yasmine Bleeth's feature films include the sci-fi thriller "The Force", directed by Pierre David, whose credits include the successful "Internal Affairs". "The Force" cast Bleeth opposite Jason Gedrick in the story about when a police officer (Gary Hudson) is killed in the line of duty, and his soul enters into the body of a young officer (Jason Gedrick) to seek revenge for his murder.

Bleeth then appeared in "Ghosts May Kiss" with Flea, bassist for alternative rock band "The Red Hot Chili Peppers". This romantic fairy tale examines the tragedy of lost love. Bleeth played Lavinia, lover of the ghost Casanova, who is stuck in a child's pop-up book from the 17th century. "Ghosts May Kiss" is the result of a collaboration between 1993 Venice Film Festival winner, director Mauro Borrelli and producer Jeff Kirshbaum.

In 1996, Bleeth appeared in another television drama "A Face to Die For" (1996) about a scarred, unattractive young woman who is conned into helping with a robbery of her employer. As a result, she is sent to prison, gets plastic surgery, and returns to seek revenge on those who wronged her. Yasmine then took a break from films and television to appeared on Broadway in the productions of  "Welcome to My Life" and "Looking for It."

A native New Yorker, Yasmine moved to the West Coast for the first time when she joined the cast of the sexy hot babe-fest "Baywatch". The show was in instant smash hit and produced stars such as Pamela Anderson, Erika Eleniak, Gena Lee Nolin, Carmen Electra and  Vanessa Angel. This long-running series followed the adventures of a team of lifeguards on a crowded resort beach. Veteran lifeguard Mitch Buchannon (David Hasselhoff) watches over the younger lifeguards that come and go with each passing season as they keep the beaches safe for vacationers.

Yasmine then made several guest appearances on television serials such as "Herman's Head", "The Naked Truth" starring Tea Leoni, "Veronica's Closet" with Kirstie Alley, and "V.I.P." with Pamela Anderson, Bleeth then appeared next to "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone in the sports comedy "BASEketball" (1998) about two childhood friends who are pro athletes of a national sport called BASEketball, a hybrid of baseball and basketball, and must deal with a greedy businessman scheming against their team. 

Next was "Coming Soon" (1999) about the trials and tribulations of wealthy young New Yorkers and their sexual coming of age, a romantic comedy set at an Upper East Side prep school. Yasmine then landed in the comedy "Undercover Angel" (1999) about a writer with no focus in his work becomes the unwilling babysitter of a precocious little girl who turns his life around.

The following year, 2000, Yasmine Bleeth stayed with the romance and comedy with "Goodbye, Casanova" (2000). Then Bleeth hit a rough patch, with a drug and alcohol arrest that landed her in jail, and her mug shot splattered all over the internet. The tabloid media and Hollywood press had a field day. Bleeth recovered and soon after got the job that would put her career back in the fast lane. Bleeth was hired and cast to star in the smash hit television show "Nash Bridges" (1996-2001) starring Don Johnson and Cheech Marin, where "Nash" is a smart-alecky police inspector (Don Johnson) who's seen fighting crime on the streets of San Francisco, while driving around in his screaming yellow 70ish Plymouth Hemi Barracuda. He's the typical super-cop on the beat, who always wins in the end. Unfortunately, his personal relationships leave much to be desired. He has two ex-wives, a 16-year-old daughter needing a lot of supervision, and a father with Alzheimer's disease who keeps getting kicked out of retirement homes and dropping by to visit. 

Nash Bridges revitalized Yasmine Bleeth's career and showed her personal problems were behind her. When Nash Bridges ended in 2001, Bleeth seamlessly rolled into another hit television show "Titans" (2000-2001). The following year Bleeth appeared in the big-screen Baywatch reunion movie in "Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding" (2003) where we learn Mitch Buchannon didn't die in a boat explosion in the 10th season but has been recovering from amnesia in Los Angeles. The film reunited most of the old Baywatch group for this little seen, but harmless summer movie.
