“Baywatch” fans will remember: Donna D’Errico was the woman in the red bathing suit. So… one of those. Today the former lifeguard Donna Marco is 54 years old – and looks like she fell into the fountain of youth. Surely the beauty doc couldn’t have helped with that?

Well, Donna D’Errico isn’t Pamela Anderson, Carmen Electra or Traci Bingham, who many might think of when they hear the word “Baywatch”. But at least in 19 episodes of seasons seven and eight, she also put on the red bathing suit. D’Errico was also seen in the series offshoot “Baywatch Nights”.

And that’s not all the Alabama-born model made headlines with at the time. She also eventually married Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx in 1996. She had a daughter with him before divorcing him in 2007. At this point, we don’t want to talk about the fact that some people may also know D’Errico as a former Playmate from “Playboy”.

It’s not about the past, it’s about the present. If you look back, you’ll quickly realize that a few years have passed since “Baywatch” – 24 years to be precise, since D’Errico made her last appearance in the series. Born in 1968, she was sweet 30 at the time. Accordingly, she is now 54 years old.

However, anyone who calls up the Instagram account of former lifeguard Donna Marco should almost fall off their chair in amazement. D’Errico looks practically not a day older – quite the contrary. And so she likes to present herself revealingly in a bikini or lingerie. Especially to show all the critics, as she made clear in one of her most recent posts.

Many women would have mocked a bikini video of her, writes D’Errico. Some would have attested to her actually having “more class”. Others have called her “too old to wear a bikini” or even “distressed”. “Let me tell you something that might surprise you: I can actually wear and do whatever I want,” said D’Errico in a showy defiance.

No question: Of course, D’Errico is completely free to present herself the way she wants, no matter how old she is. Many will in any case be more likely to wonder whether she might have fallen into a fountain of youth. However, that shouldn’t be the case. Rather, it can be assumed that D’Errico knows really good doctors. Because not everything can hide the real age. This is revealed, for example, by looking at her hands.
