Personal life and death
Bach met David Hasselhoff on the set of the Knight Rider episode "Knight Racer" in 1985. They married in December 1989. The couple had two daughters: Taylor Ann Hasselhoff, born May 5, 1990, who attended the University of Arizona and was cast for the 2015 season of Rich Kids of Beverly Hills, and actress Hayley Hasselhoff, born August 26, 1992. In January 2006, Hasselhoff announced he was filing for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. Their divorce was finalized in August 2006. Bach was given custody of one daughter and Hasselhoff custody of the other. Both appeared on the CBS daytime drama The Young and the Restless, though not at the same time: Pamela as Mari Jo Mason #1 in 1994 and David as Dr. Snapper Foster #2 between 1975 and 1982. Bach was found dead at her home in the Hollywood Hills with a self-inflicted gunshot wound on March 5, 2025, at the age of 62. Her death was ruled a suicide by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office.
