Carmen Electra is returning to Playboy for its Summer 2026 issue, three decades after making her debut in the magazine. The 54-year-old actress and model appears in a new photoshoot and reflects on confidence, reinvention, and her evolving identity.
Electra, who was discovered by Prince, also recently made her stage name legally official after years of using it professionally.
Indeed, while her latest projects cement her status as an enduring pop-culture icon, it was a certain red-hot '90s phenomenon that first launched her into the global spotlight. Yup, it's hard to believe that 37 years have passed since 'Baywatch' first hit TV screens. The show captivated audiences around the globe and boosted the careers of actors such as Pamela Anderson, Carmen Electra, and, of course, David Hasselhoff.
