Erika Eleniak
Erika Eleniak (born September 29, 1969) is an American Playboy Playmate and actress, perhaps best known for her role in Baywatch as Shauni McClain.
Eleniak was born in Glendale, California. She is the eldest daughter in her family of four girls and one boy whose parents divorced. Her father, who was born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, is of Ukrainian descent and her mother is of Estonian and German ancestry. During the late 1970s, Eleniak’s father introduced her to her future career in the movie industry when his then girlfriend got Eleniak a part to model children’s clothing for TV commercials. 
Her first acting role was in the film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)—as the girl kissed by Elliott in the school classroom scene. Eleniak attended Robert Fulton Junior High in Van Nuys, California and graduated from Van Nuys High School. During her teenage years, Eleniak became a regular on the San Fernando Valley party circuit and she began to use alcohol and drugs regularly. Steve Ferguson, a quadriplegic who socialized in the same circles as Eleniak, helped curtail her problem by introducing her to Alcoholics Anonymous in 1988 and helping her through her detoxification.
In 1997 she met Philip Goglia. They married on March 10, 1998, and Eleniak used the name Erika Eleniak-Goglia during their brief relationship. They lived in Marina del Rey, California until divorcing in 1999.
After filming Snowbound in 2001 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Eleniak became enamored of the city. She also fell in love with Roch Daigle, a key grip who worked on the set. Having wanted to leave Los Angeles for years and finding commuting to and from Telluride, Colorado too difficult, Eleniak purchased a home in Calgary, where Daigle lived. 
Eleniak became pregnant in 2005, but six and a half weeks into her term, the pregnancy was discovered to be ectopic, which required emergency surgery days later. It ended in miscarriage, but Eleniak soon became pregnant again. Her first child, daughter Indyanna, was born in January 2006.
She appeared as one of the cast members of the reality television series The Real Gilligan’s Island for its second season which started in June 2005.
Eleniak has exhibited various weight issues throughout her life. At one point, she was underweight due to eating disorder and was once hospitalized because of laxative abuse. In recent years she had become overweight, and in 2006 was a participant on the fourth season of VH1’s reality television series Celebrity Fit Club, on which overweight celebrities lose weight as part of a competition. She lost 31 pounds over the course of the show.
