Voted one of People Magazine's 50 Most
Beautiful of 1995,Yasmine began her career at the early age of 6 months,
when she was featured as the Johnson & Johnson Baby. At age six, she
appeared in a Max Factor campaign, along with Christina Ferrare. Her
work in this campaign caught the eye of fashion photographer, Francesco
Scavullo, who subsequently included her in his self-entitled book
Scavullo's Women. At the age of 12, Yasmine was cast opposite Buddy
Hacket in the feature film Hey Babe. Bi-lingual Bleeth attended United
Nations International School (UNIS) in New York City, where she
continued modeling and acting.
Bleeth, then 16, won the role of Ryan
Fenelli and the hearts of millions on the ABC soap opera Ryan's Hope. In
1991, staying in the ABC family, she created the role as the sultry,
misunderstood Lee Anne Demerest on the highly acclaimed soap opera One
Life To Live. Her feature films include the upcoming sci-fi thriller,
The Force, (Image Productions) directed by Pierre David, whose
directorial credits include the successful Internal Affairs. The Force
casts Bleeth opposite Jason Gedrick. In her next role, Bleeth appears in
Ghosts May Kiss (Cafe Productions) with Flea, bassist for alternative
rock band The Red Hot Chili Peppers. This romantic fairy tale examines
the tragedy of lost love. Bleeth plays Lavinia, lover of the ghost
Casanova, who is stuck in a child's pop-up book from the 17th century.
Ghosts May Kiss is the result of a collaboration between 1993 Venice
Film Festival winner, director Mauro Borrelli and producer Jeff
Kirshbaum. Yasmine recently shot the follow-up video to the The
Rembrandt's number one single, I'll Be There For You, entitled This
House is not a Home due out for release in September, in which she plays
the part of a Playboy bunny. In November, she will begin production on
The Face, a Movie of the Week for NBC. Yasmine also completed a
full-motion live action entertainment CD-ROM entitled, Maximum Surge
(Digital Pictures) directed by award-winning special effects wizard,
William Mesa (Oscar nominated for the box office blockbuster, The
Fugitive). Bleeth plays Jo, an ace computer engineer who is responsible
for providing game players with guidance and technical know-how to help
defeat the evil dictator, Drexel. Maximum Surge will be released this
fall for PC, Mac and Sega Saturn.
Yasmine made her stage debut in the off-Broadway production of the one
act plays Welcome to My Life and Looking for It. A native New Yorker,
Yasmine moved to the West Coast for the first time when she joined the
Baywatch cast. "It's been great," professes Yasmine. "L.A's
been beautiful. I have to admit I had an East Coast snobbism about me. I
thought, 'Oh L.A. is going to be so rural.' But I actually really enjoy
it just as much as I enjoy New York." But how did she settle in in
this new environment? "I was very lucky to have had good friends
out here who had migrated from the east a few years ago, so that made
the transition easier," adds Yasmine. She does, however, admit that
going from a high-rise apartment building to a house takes some getting
used to. "I'm so used to having a doorman and going up in an
elevator. Houses scare me... I'm constantly checking the windows of the
house we live in," she chuckles. The other half of that
"we" is actor-producer Ricky Paull Goldin, Yasmine's fiancée.
The couple met while co-starring in the play Welcome to My Life and have
been together for over three years. Goldin, whose acting credits include
the daytime serial Another World, recently finished a year-long stint in
the Broadway musical Grease where he played Danny Zucco, the role John
Travolta made famous in the movie version. Her beauty didn't always lead
to popularity: "When I was little, I used to have to force the boys
to kiss me. I had to get my toughest friends to hold them down."
And in high school, she adds, "girls were always threatening to
beat me up because they thought I flipped my hair too much." Now 26
and Baywatch's newest lifeguard, she brings a flirty vulnerability to
the show. "She's no beach bunny," sums up costar Jaason
Simmons. "She's exotic and classy. Her eyes are outstanding - a
brilliant pale blue. They're filled with energy and mischief." In
the past those eyes hypnotized boyfriends Luke Perry and Grant Show, but
Bleeth finally met her match in Ricky they became engaged in January.
"He says he can spend the rest of his life looking at this
face," Bleeth says with a sigh. Most people wouldn't turn away from
her 5'5", 117-lb. hourglass figure either, but Bleeth would rather
be 5'11". "Tall, skinny women can get breast implants, and
they become perfect," she says teasingly. "But women who are
small and curvy can't get leg extensions. That isn't fair."
