Nicole Eggert was seen smiling with her Baywatch co-stars after shaving her head following her breast cancer diagnosis .
The 52-year-old actress attended a press tour in Pasadena on Wednesday to discuss her time on Baywatch as part of the TCA Summer 2024 Press Tour. The talk is part of an ongoing promotional campaign for the new documentary After Baywatch: Moment in the Sun.
Nicole, who was a fan favorite on Baywatch as the character Roberta "Summer" Quinn, appeared at the event just seven months after she was diagnosed with cancer. She looked vastly different from her time on the show after shaving her hair in March.

The actress looked stylish as she wore a black blazer and low-cut top. She was joined on stage with her former co-stars including Traci Bingham, Carmen Electra, Billy Warlock, Jeremy Jackson, Alexandra Paul and David Chockachi.
Nicole has been open about her health struggles and admitted she initially missed the breast caner symptoms. Instead, she thought she was simply going through the menopause.
Nicole discovered she had stage 2 cribriform carcinoma in December 2023. She experienced two main symptoms before her diagnosis - a sudden weight gain of 25lbs and severe pain in her left breast.

She underwent a mammogram and three biopsies which resulted in a diagnosis of stage 2 cribriform carcinoma breast cancer. Speaking to Inside Edition about the ordeal, Nicole said: "When I felt it, my heart dropped and I was like oh my god. Nobody could take me, so I walked into every breast care center.
"It’s horrifying because every day and every minute that passes, you know it’s growing." Nicole then opened up about how she felt when the cancer was confirmed.
"My heart dropped, I lost all hearing, everything sank. It’s named invasive cribriform carcinoma. It’s very rare," she explained. She also admitted she "kicked herself" for not doing self examinations.
