A former star of the hugely popular syndicated drama series “Baywatch” has found new success publishing adult content on the paid subscription service website OnlyFans.
Actress and model Erika Eleniak, 56, famously played Shauni McClain from 1989 until 1992 in 45 episodes of the series, which also starred the likes of David Hasselhoff, Pamela Anderson, and Yasmine Bleeth.
Having made her movie debut as a child actress in 1982’s “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial,” she went on to appear in the likes of 1988’s “The Blob,” 1992’s “Under Siege,” 1993’s “The Beverly Hillbillies,” and 1996’s “Bordello of Blood.”
Now, after not featuring particularly prominently on either the big or small screens in recent years, she has sought out a new career as a content creator on the popular adult platform.
Erika Eleniak Is Making $10,000 per Week on OnlyFans
GettyAs reported by TMZ, Erika Eleniak is now raking in around $10,000 every week on her OnlyFans account.
An unnamed source close to Eleniak revealed to the popular celebrity news outlet that the former “Baywatch” star began showing only her feet on the platform, but is now posting more racy content for her subscribers.
Those subscribers aren’t small in number, either. TMZ were told that she has over 1,100 of them.
TMZ initially revealed Eleniak had joined OnlyFans back on August 10, not knowing exactly what kind of content she’d be making and uploading, nor how successful she’d be. That, however, has all since become apparent.
In recent times, she has teased her OnlyFans content on her Instagram account, sharing previews with her 172,000 followers on the popular social media platform.
Perhaps even more excitingly, however, she has also announced her intention to return to acting.
Eleniak Announces the ‘Big Decision’ to Return to Acting
In a recent Instagram post, Erika Eleniak has announced that she intends to return to acting this year.
Sharing a single photograph of herself and her many colorful tattoos, the actress’ caption on her announcement post begins, “Something is coming…”
The caption continues, “2026 feels like the start of a whole new chapter. I’m 56, I’ve embraced the tattoos, the journey, the ups, the downs and everything that has made me who I am today.”
It goes on, “I’ve also made a big decision… IM COMING BACK TO ACTING!!”
Eleniak’s caption concludes, “I have an incredible new team behind me, exciting new projects in the works, and over the coming weeks I’ll be sharing a side of me you’ve never really seen before. This is just the beginning – Stay tuned.”
Her new team appears to include Beverly Hills Press Agency, who posted on their Instagram account that Eleniak is now among their clients.
Their post includes a black and white professional headshot of Eleniak, which is accompanied by a long caption that begins, “Erika Eleniak is returning to where an extraordinary chapter of her career began.”
We’re already excited to see where Eleniak’s return to acting will take her. Her upcoming projects appear to include 12 episodes of the “Baywatch” reboot (in which she’ll apparently be reprising her previous role as Shauni McClain), the romance movie “Marilyn Monroe Back?” (in which she’ll be playing the iconic eponymous Hollywood legend), and the drama movie “Alchemy in Venice.”
Moreover, we wish her all the luck in the world with everything she does.
