A native of Duluth, Minnesota, Gena Lee Nolin and her family moved to Las Vegas for her senior year in high school. At the recommendation of friends, she entered and won the Miss Las Vegas contest. She quickly gained the attention of several modeling agencies, winning the Ford Agency and Elite Agency regional "Look of the Year" contests and the Miss Barbizon USA national title.

In 1994, Gena saw an ad in the paper for The Price Is Right. At the cattle-call audition, she beat out hundreds of others, winning a spot as one of the game show's showcase models. "It was a great job. We would work three days a week, filming two shows a day with a ten day break every two weeks. It allowed me time to continue with my studies and auditions." Nolin appeared on "The Young & The Restless," playing the part of a young model named Sandy. She can also be seen on national commercials for "Home Depot," "Star Burst," and "Hyundai" as well as the spokesperson for "Sassoon Jeans", "Clothestime." and now for "Maui and Sons"

In addition to her role on "Baywatch," Gena can be seen doing guest commentary on the popular entertainment magazine show, "Extra!" She also recently hosted a USA Network Special "The 50th Anniversary of the Bikini." Entertainment Tonight was on hand to tape Gena's surprise when it was announced that she was the newest member of the Baywatch cast. The 25-year-old former model was reading with star David Hasselhoff when he held up an inner tube saying 'Surprise! You got the part.' "I saw this inner tube out of the corner of my eye, but I just kept reading my sides until someone yelled 'read the tube.' I was stunned," she says.
