Yasmine Amanda
Bleeth (born June 14, 1968 in New York City) is an
American TV and film actress. Bleeth is famous for her
role as Caroline Holden on the worldwide-syndicated TV
series Baywatch, where she played an always
red-swimsuit-clad lifeguard.
Family: Bleeth's American father, Philip, is
Jewish of Russian and German ancestry, while her mother,
Carina, was a Pied-noir. Her mother was a former fashion
model, while her father was a professional photographer.
They both ran a business that rented vans to fashion
photographers for on-location shoots. Her father became
Yasmine's business manager. Bleeth's parents separated,
and she was raised by her mother. She was 18 when they
later divorced.
Childhood: Bleeth's earliest known acting role
was in a Johnson & Johnson's No More Tears baby
shampoo television commercial at age ten months at the
end of 1968 or the beginning of 1969. She once said:
"I did my first commercial when I was 10 months
old, and I've been in the business ever since." At
age 6 she appeared on Candid Camera. Later that year she
appeared in a Max Factor cosmetic campaign, along with
the model, Cristina Ferrare. Her work in this campaign
caught the eye of fashion photographer, Francesco
Scavullo, who subsequently included her and her mother,
Carina, in his book entitled Scavullo's Women.
Total Film magazine, issue number 21, dated (October
1998), contains a two-page interview with Bleeth. In the
article she said, "When I was a girl I used to have
to force boys to kiss me. My toughest friend had to hold
them down."
Bleeth attended the United Nations International School
in Manhattan, New York, and she received a bilingual
(French-English) education. Although she was very
popular with boys, girls frequently beat her up. At one
time when she was 14 years old, she had to be away from
school for a few months for her acting career. When she
returned to school, she was devastated to learn that the
students had been gossiping that she was away for so
long because she was pregnant.
On-screen beginnings: Bleeth starred in her first
movie at the age of 12. She was cast opposite Buddy
Hackett in the feature film Hey Babe! in 1980.
By the time she graduated from high school, she had
already been working on the soap opera Ryan's Hope since
the age of 16. In 1991, she created the role as Lee Anne
Demerest on the highly acclaimed soap opera One Life To
Live.
Mother's death: At the age of 20, Bleeth lost her
mother Carina to inflammatory breast cancer, the
deadliest type of breast cancer. Bleeth said that she
never accepted the fact that her mother was dying until
Carina took her very last breath. Just two months after
Carina's 47th birthday, her fight with cancer was over.
After Carina died, Bleeth sank into depression, and she
turned down offers for acting or modeling work for about
eight months.
Fiancée: After she met Ricky Paull Goldin, a
soap actor who helped her with her depression. The two
lived in Manhattan, but after she was cast for Baywatch,
she moved to Los Angeles. The couple had planned to
marry, but shortly after the wedding invitations were
made out, she called off the marriage.
Breast cancer advocate: Bleeth was the 1998
spokesperson for the Lee National Denim Day fundraising
campaign, which raises millions of dollars for breast
cancer research and education. In 1998 it occurred on
October 9, and was called the 'Wear Jeans to Work'
campaign. Through Bleeth's help, $5 million was raised
on that one day to help the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer
Foundation. Her primary message to women was to pay
attention to their bodies; Her mother was initially
misdiagnosed by a doctor who thought that she was going
through early menopause.
Bleeth donated the proceeds of her $10,000 win on
Celebrity Jeopardy to breast cancer research. She hoped
to use her celebrity status to expand breast cancer
awareness - particularly to young women who might
overlook what an older woman would not ignore.
Bleeth has been a spokesperson for the Susan G. Komen
Breast Cancer Foundation who, along with corporate
sponsor Ford, put together the nationally run Race for
the Cure.
Drug addiction and arrest: In December 2000,
Bleeth voluntarily entered the Malibu-based Promises
rehabilitation clinic to overcome a cocaine addiction.
On September 12, 2001, the day after the September 11th
attack on the World Trade Center in Bleeth's hometown of
New York City, Bleeth was arrested in Michigan after her
car pulled off the highway and wound up on a median. No
other cars were involved. The car accident occurred on
Interstate 94 near Detroit as she and her future
husband, Paul Cerrito, were heading to Detroit
Metropolitan Airport. Booking photograph at time of
arrest.
Police found four syringes with an injectable form of
cocaine in them and a small plastic bag with cocaine
residue on it. The next day police conducted a search of
her hotel room, and they found more cocaine and drug
paraphernalia. In November 2001, through a plea bargain,
Bleeth pleaded guilty to possessing less than 25 grams
of cocaine and to driving while impaired. She was
sentenced in January 2002 to two years of probation and
100 hours of community service.
Bleeth's lawyer, Jerry Sabbota, stated that the actress
was satisfied with the plea bargain, noting that her
record will be cleared of any felonies after she
fulfills the terms of her probation. "When all is
said and done she'll have a traffic ticket on her
record. She wasn't treated any better than anyone else,
and she wasn't treated any worse", Sabbota said.
Bleeth completely fulfilled the terms of her probation
as of January 2004, and her record was cleared as
previously determined by the plea bargain.
Rehab and sobriety: Attorney Sabbota stated that
Bleeth had returned to Promises rehabilitation clinic.
In an issue of Glamour from April 2003, Bleeth wrote a
three page article entitled "Back From my Drugs
Hell" about her rocky path to recovery, her drug
addiction, and her struggle to remain sober. She wrote
that she had a cocaine habit that was so severe that she
collapsed at a photo shoot for Glamour magazine, and she
went without sleep for five days at a time. She wrote
that "consciously trying to stay off drugs is now
part of my life and always will be."
Commenting on her cocaine addiction, Bleeth said,
"It was almost like falling in love... It became my
boyfriend, my best friend, my family."
Marriage: Bleeth married former bar owner Paul
Cerrito on August 25, 2002. They met each other at the
Promises clinic. They married in Santa Barbara,
California and now live in Los Angeles, California.
In the (April 2003) edition of Glamour, Bleeth stated,
"They say you shouldn't get into any relationship
in the first year of sobriety — especially with
someone in the program, but Paul and I fell in love
immediately."
Due to her role in Baywatch, Yasmine was offered many
more roles in television and film. She continued to work
as a model, frequently appearing in swimwear or
lingerie, but has never appeared nude despite many
offers.
Television series: Bleeth turned down roles in
Aaron Spelling's Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990) and Pacific
Palisades (1997) but accepted the starring role in the
short-lived series Titans (2000) . Aaron Spelling was so
eager to cast Yasmine in the role of a vixen on Titans
that his company convinced CBS to grant her an early
release from her Nash Bridges contract.
