Throwback Thursday: Carmen Electra

Back in the day you’d have been hard pressed to find a sexier, more popular woman than Carmen Electra. Her appearances in Playboy and on Baywatch will forever be in our memories. Here’s a sexy look back at Carmen’s career in pictures and what she’s up to today.

In May 1996 Carmen Electra became a permanent member of pop culture with an epic spread in Playboy magazine. This led to the job that will always define her, playing Lani McKenzie on Baywatch, which in turn led to her hosting stint on MTV’s Singled Out. Electra would go on to do Playboy four more times: June 1997, December 2000, April 2003, and January 2009. A couple of her most memorable film roles (at least if you are a male), were playing Drew Decker in Scary Movie in 2000 and as Stacey in Starsky & Hutch in 2004.

More recently Carmen has appeared on 90210 and the straight-to-video classic 2-Headed Shark Attack and is slated to appear in four films between now and the end of 2014: Oy Vey! My Son Is Gay!!, Dragula, Book of Fire, and the one we’re most interested in seeing, Lap Dance.
