A BAYWATCH babe who rocketed to fame in the Eighties TV series showed off her ageless beauty at a launch for a new documentary about the show.
The American actress, who played Dawn Masterton, is now 55.
Yet Brandy Ledford wowed fans as she oozed a youthful glow at the premiere of ABC News Studios docu-series, After Baywatch: Moment in the Sun.
Brandy, who starred in 15 episodes of Baywatch in season 10, looked like she was ageing backwards as she donned a pretty pink dress at the Santa Monica event.
The TV favourite – who also starred on Modern Family – opted for a fresh-faced look with minimal make-up as she joined her co-stars.
She styled her ice-blonde hair in loose waves over her shoulders and chose the summery frock which had a ruffle dip-back hemline.
The Colorado native finished off her look with nude point-toe heels.
She posed for a solo snap outside a Baywatch sign before being joined by Brande Roderick and Carmen Electra.
After a natter they joined the rest of the show stars, including Jeremy Jackson and Ingrid Walter for a series of group snaps.
During her Baywatch stint, which aired between 1999 and 2000, she sported cropped blonde hair.
Her shoulder-length style was often slicked-back after a day spent patrolling the beach on lifeguard duties in her bright yellow swimsuit.
In the show, which saw her based on the beach, she kept her make-up similarly minimal.
Baywatch was based on a Los Angeles beach from its inception in 1989, detailing the antics of a team of lifeguards led by Lieutenant Mitch Buchannon.
Yet from 1999 to 2001 it filmed two seasons in Hawaii, hence the tweak to the show name.
Meanwhile, as well as Baywatch fame, Brandy starred in sci fi series The Invisible Man.
She also scooped two Best Actress nominations for her role in teen drama, Whistler.
Brandy is a mum of two sons.
She was married to Canadian actor Martin Cummins, who she divorced in 2004.
Meanwhile, off-screen, she hasn’t been shy in addressing her troubled youth.
Brandy recently opened up on her battles with alcohol and addiction in the nyu.edu podcast.
She told how she had been clean and sober since 2012, yet her problems started in her school years.
Brandy said: “It’s true that when I was 11, I smoked pot for the first time.
“That was when I knew I liked feeling different than I was feeling.
And then I didn’t smoke pot regularly after that, but when I was 14, I was introduced to cocaine. And I loved cocaine.
“And so, I did a lot of cocaine for 10 years after that. And I started drinking around the same time.
So as a teenager, by the time I was 15, almost 16 I had been in jail for a DUI. And then 17 I was in jail again for drunk in public.”
Brandy added: “I think I just didn’t think to say no, I didn’t have any boundary or limit. I didn’t have anything stopping me.
“What continued for me was that I really liked the feeling. I liked the effect produced by drugs and alcohol.
“I didn’t have any safeguards in place to even think, and this is true for most of my young adult life for really bad decisions I’ve made.”
