At 16, she began portraying the character Ryan Fenelli on the daytime soap opera Ryan’s Hope until the show’s final episode in January 1989.

Following her mother’s passing from breast cancer, Bleeth took a break from acting but eventually returned to play LeeAnn Demerest on the soap opera One Life to Live.

Controversy

Following four seasons on Baywatch, Yasmine left to join the crime series Nash Bridges. A promising Hollywood career appeared on the horizon until Bleeth encountered personal challenges.
