Baywatch actress Erika Eleniak, best known for playing Shauni McClain in the hit 1990s series, has launched an OnlyFans account. The 56-year-old announced the move on Monday, promising fans exclusive photos, videos, and direct personal interaction for a monthly subscription fee of $10 (£7.40).
From Baywatch to OnlyFans
Eleniak, who starred in Baywatch from 1989 to 1992, said the decision is about embracing who she is today. In an Instagram post, she wrote: 'At 56, I’m embracing exactly who I am today. From Baywatch to Playboy and beyond. You’ve been with me through so many chapters of my life and career. Now I’m opening up a brand-new one. This is about having fun, being unfiltered, sharing exclusive photos and videos, and most importantly, connecting directly with you. If you’ve ever wanted to talk to me personally, now you can.'
She also teased that subscribers will see a side of her they've 'never seen' and promised plenty of pictures of her feet. Fans can pay extra for custom content, including 'playful roleplay requests', 'flirty personal videos', and 'specific outfits or dresses'.
Fan response and celebrity trend
The response from fans has been enthusiastic, with many posting on Instagram for more details and using fire emojis. Eleniak told TMZ: 'I basically grew up on the beach in a red swimsuit, so this feels like coming full circle – except now I’m calling the shots. Fans are getting my real life, my personal photos and videos, plenty of beach days and, yes, the feet everyone keeps asking about. I’ve been Erika from Baywatch for decades, but OnlyFans gets a side of me people haven’t seen. It’s personal, playful and unfiltered – and if you came for the bare feet in the sand, I promise you won’t be disappointed.'
Eleniak joins a growing list of celebrities using OnlyFans for additional income. Earlier this week, former Harry Potter actress Jessie Cave, 39, revealed she earns more from the platform than she did from the films. Cave posts fully clothed 'hair content', brushing her hip-length hair while dressed as characters. Other stars on the platform include Denise Richards, Jaime Pressly, and 85-year-old Donna Mills.
Career background
Eleniak's acting career began at age 12 with a role in ET The Extra-Terrestrial, where she was kissed by Elliott (Henry Thomas) in a classroom scene. She also appeared in The Blob (1988) and The Beverly Hillbillies (1993).
