Better known for her voluptuous figure and stormy love life than her talent, Anderson started out as a model before transitioning to acting. After playing the original Tool Time Girl on the sitcom Home Improvement, she joined the cast of the beach-based series Baywatch in 1992. Her unbelievable body and bleached-blonde tresses made her an instant sex symbol, while her turbulent romances (Scott Baio, Bret Michaels, David Charvet) and her failed marriage to Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee kept her in the tabloids. Barb Wire, her bid for big-screen stardom, fizzled, so she returned to the small-screen in V.I.P. Off-screen, she suffered through a stolen sex-video scandal, hepatitis C and the removal and replacement of her breast implants. In the early '00s, the busy Anderson wrote two romans à clef, launched her own clothing line, penned a syndicated column and returned to TV in the sitcom Stacked. In 2006, she married her on-again, off-again love, Kid Rock, in two separate, highly publicized ceremonies. They filed for one divorce a few months later.
