See '90s Icon Carmen Electra Now At 50 - Best Life

If a star wanted to make a splash in the ’90s—in more ways than one—appearing on Baywatch was one way to do it. When Carmen Electra joined the series as Lani McKenzie for a season in 1997, it became her breakout role. This, combined with modeling for magazines including Playboy, made her one of the biggest sex symbols of the ’90s. Her high-profile relationship with NBA player Dennis Rodman also made its fair share of headlines.

Today, it’s been around 25 years since Electra came to fame, and while she’s not acting quite as much as she once did, she still remains active in the entertainment world. She also just celebrated a milestone birthday, turning 50 on April 20 and sharing her celebrations with her fans on social media. Read on to find out more about Electra today.
