KCK woman describes escaping creek after being swept away by flood
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — A woman living along a creek in a campsite that flooded early Thursday morning described the harrowing experience as she, her boyfriend and her dog were washed downstream. Kansas City, Kansas firefighters did about 40 rescues that morning, mostly of people who had driven into rising water. They were also called to 65th Street and State Avenue, but never were able to find the woman, 61, in the heavily wooded ravine. She was downstream, holding on to a tree for dear life. Woman hangs onto tree after being swept away by floodwater in Kansas City, Kansas The couple built a deck for themselves and their pet Tinker Bell a few feet above the creek which usually is just rocks and about three inches of water. Late Wednesday night and early Thursday morning, the area got upwards of 10 inches of rain and that tiny creek started rising. 'We looked up and it was up to the top and I said 'What are we going to do? We got to get out of here,'' said the woman who declined to give her name. However, there was no time. 'It was still coming really fast. Logs and trees were coming by and it was getting higher and higher,' she said. The woman tried to hold on to a tree where the deck used to be. She showed us Friday the campsite, complete with a mattress, a couch, a generator and a TV that was washed away and scattered along the creek. 'He was behind me and he said, 'I can't hold on any longer.' So I said, 'Just hold on to me,' and he did as long as he could and then he was gone and I thought he was gone, gone.' In the fast rushing water, she lost her grip, too. 'And it took me away and I was up and down and trying everything I could to keep my head above water,' she described. FOX4 Forecast: Heat arrives this weekend She lost her shoes and pants she was wearing in the flood. Somewhere downstream. The 61-year-old was able to grasp a tree branch and climb as high as she could, where she screamed for help that never came. 'This is from holding on to the tree for three hours,' the woman said in a hoarse voice, showing numerous scrapes and red marks. She didn't realize that at about 4 a.m. somewhere upstream, her boyfriend had gotten out and managed to call 911. Firefighters searched for more than three hours until daylight came, floodwaters receded and the woman was able to climb down. 'I didn't know where I was, but I just looked to where I saw the top of a building and some lights and I thought there's got to be civilization there,' she said. She'd soon find out, using a good Samaritan's phone, that thankfully, her boyfriend and Tinker Bell also made it out. 'We have nothing but we are alive,' she said. Businesses in Kansas City, Kansas working to recover after recent flooding After nearly drowning in what had been three inches of water, she offers this advice. 'If it starts raining hard and coming down really fast, get away from it as soon as possible because it's going to be high faster than you could ever imagine. With that campsite washed out, they say they've given up the outdoor life along the creek. The couple is currently staying in a hotel. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

The best Amazon Prime Day Deals of 2025: Our editors' top picks are up to 70% off
We independently evaluate the products we review. When you buy via links on our site, we may receive compensation. Read more about how we vet products and deals. Amazon Prime Day is officially upon us, and you know what? It's proving that some follow-ups are worth the wait; think blockbuster sequels, extended editions or the rare TV reboot that actually delivers. And in the world of online shopping, few return events generate more buzz than this. In fact, Prime Day 2025 is shaping up to be far better than a rerun; it's more like a director's cut, with deals across more than 35 categories, including electronics, kitchen, beauty and clothing. This year's sale runs twice as long as usual, kicking off today (Tuesday, July 8) and running through Friday, July 11. You're looking at a full 96 hours of deals right there. That's plenty of time to shop, you say. But keep in mind that deals will come and go throughout the event, and the very best bargains tend to sell out. Our advice? Scoop up the ones that catch your eye while you can. If you're feeling a little overwhelmed, that's understandable — there are thousands of deals to weed through, and not all of them are worth your time. That's what our team of shopping editors is here for; we spend all of our waking hours hunting down the real deals — not the ones with inflated original pricing or those products boasting the same "50% off" for the better part of a year. So here, we're bringing you the only Prime Day deals worth adding to your cart. Home & Garden Writer Kristin Granero put this golden child — which rarely dips lower than its current price — to the test, dubbing it "best value cordless stick vacuum" of the many she tried. She says it "performed at the peak of our lowest price category, with a shiny frame and a brush cleaner head that has four light bulbs for added visibility. In testing, we referred to it as 'Tinker Bell' because it moved swiftly, yet gently and glowed like a fairy." She adds, "It was easy to set up — three main parts, three clicks — and can be charged in the wall mount dock or plugged right into an outlet. It contains a HEPA filter for capturing 99.97% of pixie (er, dust) particles and features an LCD display that illuminates different colors to indicate charge level and motor speed. ... The Kenmore Elite offers 40 minutes of run time, which we found accurate and sufficient for tackling several rooms at a time ... For being so lightweight — only 6 pounds, with the handheld portion only 3 — the Kenmore Elite has the second biggest dust cup of the vacuums we tested, with a sophisticated release functionality similar to Dyson." Related: The best cordless stick vacuums for 2025, tested and reviewed If thicker-looking tresses are what you're after, celebrities (and thousands of Amazon shoppers) rely on this top-rated trio. Formulated with nourishing ingredients that can help improve circulation while stimulating hair follicles, this set includes three months' worth of shampoo, conditioner and a scalp care and hair thickening treatment — all for the best price I've seen in months. (Psst: Alyssa Milano is a fan of the brand.) If you've been holding off on buying AirPods until there's a sale, consider this the time to pounce. At just $89, this pair is down to the best price I've seen. Now, they don't include active noise cancellation like these do, but if it's a high-quality, comfortable listening experience you're after, these earbuds more than deliver. With up to five hours of listening time per charge (and 30 hours of battery life via the charging case), you'll be able to enjoy music, podcasts, audiobooks and more with limited interruption. If the thought of making ice cream at home is intimidating to you, these have your name on them. Really, they couldn't be easier to use — just make sure your mugs are frozen for at least 24 hours, then mix up your ice cream base (there's a recipe book included). Once your mugs are sufficiently chilled (you want them to be really cold), you'll add your base, turn 'em on and they'll start churning away. You can also add mix-ins of your choosing via the pour chutes while they're running, and in about 20 minutes, you'll have ice cream. Simple, right? This duo rarely dips lower than this, so scoop 'em up for their lowest price in over a year. Apple products are so sought after that they don't really need to go on sale, and when they do, it's often because they're older models. This is the latest version of this iPad, which makes the markdown — close to an all-time low — all the more impressive. According to Yahoo Senior Deals Writer Chris McGraw, who specializes in all things tech, "It's an ultra-light, thin tablet that's powerful enough to replace your laptop for most tasks but slips into your bag without a second thought. With a large 11-inch Liquid Retina display, you're swiping and scrolling in vibrant color and sharpness that makes any screen that came before feel like an old tube TV. "If you've got a habit of toggling between a dozen apps, streaming videos and replying to messages at once, you're in for a treat. This iPad is ready to keep up with whatever you throw its way. And if you're into gaming, the graphics capabilities mean you can play even demanding games without dropping a frame." If your less-than-glowing chompers could use some restoration, the folks at Crest say these bestselling strips can make teeth up to 19 shades whiter. According to the brand, you're guaranteed to have a noticeably brighter smile in just a few steps (peel off a strip, apply it to your teeth and ... yeah, that's it). This sale drops the price to its lowest of 2025 — now that's something to say "cheese!" about. There's a reason folks are gaga for the latest model of these top-rated earbuds — many reasons, in fact. For starters, they're down to their best price of all time; plus, they offer rich, crisp sound and superior noise cancellation, allowing you to enjoy music, podcasts, audiobooks and more without outside commotion getting in the way. This model lets you control the volume simply by swiping the stem, and you'll receive four pairs of silicone tips in different sizes for customized comfort. Senior Tech Writer Rick Broida named these "best wireless earbuds overall," saying, "What you get here is even better ANC, a bump in battery life, extra-small ear tips for users with smaller ears and an adaptive-audio mode that adjusts noise-cancellation and transparency modes based on the sounds around you. Meanwhile, Apple's charging case now has a speaker (for use with Find My) and a USB-C port in place of Lightning (the better to match with the USB-C iPhone 15)." Enjoying a warm breakfast on a busy morning has never been so easy, thanks to this contraption that'll make a bacon, egg and cheese without you having to wait at the drive-through. Just fill each tray with the essentials and any toppings you'd like, and it'll cook everything so that it's nice and melty by the time you've gotten dressed. This appliance doesn't go on sale very often, so grab it while you can save a few bucks. Been dyin' to try a Dyson? Not all deals from this splurge-tastic brand get my attention, but this 36% markdown — a near-all-time low — sure did. This highly rated model is down to its best price in months and features a Max cleaning mode to spot-treat areas that need more attention. Got pets? The included hair-screw tool sucks up fur without getting tangled. Granero also tested this vac, saying it's "among Dyson's more compact and budget-conscious Dyson models ... The vacuum maneuvers effortlessly over and around rugs and hardwood floors, and the hair screw tool worked miracles when it came to tight corners and detailing pet-loved couch interiors. ... We suggest it for smaller spaces with hardwood floors or shallow carpets and quicker jobs." Related: The best Dyson cordless stick vacuums for 2025, tested and reviewed And while we were already fans of the original version, I'm personally so excited about the newer 7-pound mini model. It tackles the same jobs as its larger sibling, only schlepping it around just got even easier. This set comes with the Little Green, a 4-inch tough stain tool, a HydroRinse self-cleaning hose tool and a trial-size bottle of cleaning formula — and it's down to a record-low price. According to Senior Tech Writer Rick Broida, "Open-ear headphones are all the rage, but they're usually not cheap: Prices typically start over $100 and rise from there. "Behold the pleasant surprise that is the Baseus Bass BC1, a cuff-style open-ear headphone that I just started testing — but so far, so good. Comfy fit, decent sound, more bass than I expected and a price tag of just $23. Grab these before they jump back up to their already-pretty-amazing regular price of $40." This is the very hand vac I use at home, and let me tell you — it's so much more powerful than its lightweight feel would imply. Is it bulkier than some of the other hand vacuums out there? Yes, but that's to be expected, given its industrial-strength performance. That said, it's portable enough to bring from room to room without it feeling like a workout, and that's all I can ask for. Well, that and an incredible price — and this one is a record low. Bonus: You don't have to purchase the battery and charger separately. Check out my full Craftsman V20 Cordless Hand Vacuum review for more. Prefer a smaller tablet over a bulky laptop? This one's currently down to its best price ever. McGraw says, "Think this is just a slightly larger version of your phone? Think again. With a 3:2 aspect ratio compared to the iPhone's 2:1, the iPad mini is much wider and, for those who use their tablets to read, can fit more text and feels more like a book or magazine in your hand. Speaking of fitting in your hand, it's much less cumbersome than the full-size iPad, making it great for travel or slipping into a backpack for your commute." If you've been tempted to splurge on one of these bad boys, this all-time-low price drop might be a sign that the time is now. You'll feel like you have your own personal smoothie shop with this best-in-class blender, which boasts a 2.2-horsepower motor. It'll effortlessly blitz up ice and frozen fruit, though you could also use it for whizzing up sauces or even grinding up meat. From soup to nuts (as in, homemade nut butters), this workhorse will level up your meal prep like no other. Tired of dealing with a menagerie of remotes every time you want to watch TV? Stop the insanity with this top-seller (which happens to be the newest model) that can replace 'em all. You'll be able to effortlessly switch between the news, sports, live TV and your favorite streaming platforms for easy access to millions of shows and movies. Plus, this is as low as it's ever been. This might be the coolest (pun intended) gadget I've seen all year. No, misting devices are nothing new, but this one does triple duty as a pedestal and tabletop fan. It can be used indoors or outside, has up to an impressive 70-foot reach and can lower temps by as much as 12°. There are five speeds and two breeze modes to choose from, oscillating and tilting options ... in short, if you're looking to cool down this summer, you can't go wrong. Did I mention it just dipped to an all-time low price to boot? Going somewhere for this summer? Keep your things organized with packing cubes. It will make it a lot easier to find your things on vacay, and may even help you fit more in your suitcase by compressing some of your clothes. The set includes five cubes for clothes, a shoe bag, a small makeup bag and a drawstring bag you can use for dirty clothes on the way home. The set also comes in a wide range of colors, if pink isn't your style. Either way, you get a lot of bang for your buck with this deal. Never fight with your family members over power outlets again. This electrifying gadget boasts five AC outlets and four USB ports, enough for everyone to charge their devices at once. Oh, and it's so much sleeker than having a power strip on your floor (and there's no way you'll trip over it). No, it's not a massive discount, but this top-seller is down to an all-time low (and it's retailed for as much as $20 in the past). Ready to invite Alexa into your home? This cute little device is so much more than just a speaker — you'll be able to ask her questions and have her play music, tell you the weather or even turn on lights, all without lifting a finger. It's less than 4 inches wide, and if you're new to the world of smart speakers, this one's a prime introduction. At 45% off, this is the best price it's been on sale for all year. Related: The best smart home speakers for seniors for 2025: Alexa, Google and Siri Tired of dealing with a menagerie of remotes every time you want to watch TV? Stop the insanity with this 4K streamer (which happens to be the newest and most powerful model) — it can replace 'em all. You'll be able to effortlessly switch between the news, sports, live TV and your favorite streaming platforms for easy access to millions of shows and movies. It's hard to justify spending hundreds of dollars on an iPad when Amazon's 10-inch Fire HD tablet can be had for just $70. That's the lowest price on record for this model, by the way, and while it may lack some of the iPad's spit and polish, it can perform just about all the same tasks. Heck, you could buy four and still end up paying less than you would for a single iPad. If you're looking to learn more, check out our roundup of the best tablets for 2025. Scoring a new MacBook on sale is always a win, and this price is one of the lowest this model has ever been marked down to. This version features the latest generation M4 chip, meaning you'll get a much more powerful computer with everything else you love about the MacBook Air, including its outstanding 18-hour battery life and gorgeous 13.6-inch screen. While this model is off its all-time low of $829, it's still a much better deal than you'll get at the Apple Store. The ribbed material on this set gives it a polish that your average sweatsuit doesn't have. The relaxed silhouette is cozy and easy to move around in, while the lightweight poly-blend fabric keeps things cool even when summer is trying to melt you. Snag this khaki style while it's 55% off (the lowest I've seen it). "I found a tee that's anything but boring, and it's just as comfy as those well-worn styles you have folded in your drawer," shares Senior Style Writer Rebecca Carhart. "This adorable square neck design has charming ruffled trim and slightly puffed sleeves that give it a fun, trendy vibe. And the best part? They're only $10 right now! I can't wait to grab a few to mix and match for summer!" This deal brings the price to an all-time low. Cute, comfy and oozing femininity, this gingham top-seller has smocking at the bust to create a distinct, flattering shape and adorable flirty ruffles around the neckline. The A-line silhouette creates a subtle hourglass look. It's been sitting in my virtual cart for a while, and now that it's just $30 (the lowest it's been all year), I'm finally clicking buy, since I don't think it will dip any lower this summer. It also looks very similar to Hill House's bestselling Ellie Nap Dress, which retails for nearly $200. You'll never go wrong with the classic look of Hanes, and Yahoo readers and Amazon shoppers alike can't get enough of these supremely comfortable shorts. They're made of a soft cotton-blend material, have an adjustable drawstring waist and, very conveniently, pockets. Reviewers of all ages have been singing their praises, and they haven't dipped lower than this all year. For nearly 200 years, Clarks has been producing shoes that prioritize comfort, and at nearly 50% off, this sandal is close to its lowest price of the year. (Prices vary by size and color.) And did I mention they are podiatrist-approved too? "Clarks offer a lot of support," board-certified podiatrist, Dr. Polina Zaydenberg, tells us. "Most of the shoes have wider toe boxes, which helps prevent bunions, hammertoes and neuromas." She also says Clarks are great for people with flat feet. When you think of under-eye skin care that's actually effective, are you also envisioning large dollar signs? According to Senior Beauty Editor Jennifer Romolini, it doesn't cost a lot to give that area a glow-up. "If you're looking for a low-cost retinol treatment to help with dark pigmentation, this is for you," she says. "RoC is the premier name in over-the-counter retinol, and its eye cream is highly rated ... It's excellent for improving the appearance of both fine lines and dark circles, and it's dermatologist recommended too. I only wish it contained more antioxidant, nourishing ingredients. But for the price, it honestly cannot be beat." Speaking of price, this is about as low as I've seen it in months. Related: We found the best eye creams for dark circles — starting at $9 In case the idea of applying a snail secretion to your skin has never crossed your mind, take it from a slew of Amazon shoppers — it's effective! This top-rated serum was purchased by over 900,000 people multiple times, thanks to its lightweight, refreshing feel and hydrating, rejuvenating effects. Snail mucin not only helps boost collagen and elastin for a firmer look and feel, but it can also gently exfoliate for a smoother texture while also soothing the skin. Reviewers reported noticing everything from a brighter complexion to a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and dark spots. At nearly 50% off, it's down to its best price of 2025 — check out Romolini's full CosRx review for more. Puffiness, bags and dark circles are no match for these moisturizing masks. All you do is place one under each eye, leave them on for 20 minutes, remove and admire your firmer, brighter-looking skin. No one needs to know you were up scrolling through Instagram instead of getting your eight hours of sleep. Apply Yahoo's exclusive code DERMORAYAHOO at checkout to snag 'em for less than 50 cents a pair (their best price of 2025). Sunscreen is important year-round, but especially now, when we're spending more time outside and with more skin exposed. This one made it onto our list of the best SPFs for your face, and it's even approved by medical pros. "This sunscreen has been clinically tested and shown to give better sunburn protection compared to sunscreens with lower SPFs," says Dr. Joshua Zeichner, a New York City-based dermatologist. Plus, it's formulated to absorb quickly without leaving a greasy residue and will cost you just seven bucks (about 50% off). Your morning hair routine is about to get a lot easier, thanks to this multitasking tool. It dries and styles all at the same time, meaning you won't have to juggle a brush in one hand and a blow dryer in the other; use it to give yourself a sleek, smooth blowout or wavy curls. At just $40 (70% off), it's far more affordable than the Dyson Airwrap. Thin, crepey skin sneaks up on us the older we get, and this cream — which I happen to be a fan of — was formulated to target just that. It's enriched with antioxidants, botanical ingredients and omega-fatty acids to help replenish skin's moisture for a firmer, plumper appearance. In a study conducted by the brand, 82% of participants said they noticed visible results on their arms and hands in two days. I have to say, it performs like a cream at least triple its price, so pick up a bottle while it'll set you back just $9. Don't want a new vac to suck a ton of cash from your wallet? This sleek stick's a rare $74 (it's only dipped lower than this once). It boasts strong suction for zapping up everything from dust to pet hair, and provides up to 40 minutes of run time per charge. Plus, its LED lights help you see those darker spaces, and its cyclonic filtration system traps airborne particles as well. Related: The best cordless stick vacuums for 2025, tested and reviewed That mini fan on your desk is cute, but on those extra-sweltering days, you'll be glad you have this taller model, which can cover up to 25 square feet. Its oscillation feature allows it to cool down a room from different angles, and you can choose from four speed settings, including a super-quiet sleep mode. It's down to its lowest price in months, so you know what to do... The best meals are the ones you can make by tossing all of the ingredients into one cooking vessel, then setting and forgetting. That's probably why these appliances are such fan favorites — and this model, with its nine functions in one, is so versatile, it just might become the most-used thing in your kitchen. Make rice, sear chicken ... or heck, even whip up some yogurt in it. You'll be able to cook enough food to feed six people, so I'll be awaiting my dinner party invitation. Oh, and this 50% discount brings the price down to its lowest of 2025 — for comparison, a 3-quart version is only $10 less... If you've had one of these bad boys on your wishlist for a while, I'd urge you to scoop up this deal while you can. Why? Well, the discount brings this top-selling model down to one of its best prices ever. Roomba and robovacs are pretty much synonymous at this point, and the fact that this one doubles as a mop makes the 46% markdown even sweeter.

At 4.5 quarts, it can hold enough dough to make up to eight dozen cookies at a time (though it won't take up too much room in your kitchen). This is the brand I use at home, and it comes with a beater, dough hook and whisk attachments for making practically any baked good under the sun. Since it does all of the mixing for you, it'll give your arms a break, and you can let it run while you prep other ingredients — a must when making large batches. Bigger isn't always better, and this compact crusher is proof. It weighs less than 2 pounds and holds just enough for a single serving. But the coolest part? It's battery-powered, meaning you can whiz up refreshing beverages on the go. Designed to fit in most cupholders, this blitzer can accompany you on road trips, to the gym, the office ... just about anywhere. Toss in your ingredients and blend away en route to work — that'll give you a few more minutes of shut-eye in the morning. It's only dipped lower than its current price by $5, and not very often.

That's all for $70 — less than you'd pay for a single pan from many brands. This discount brings the price to an all-time low.

Some of her go-tos are admittedly out of my price range — Le Creuset, anyone? — but I was pleasantly surprised to discover this super-affordable skillet, a longtime favorite of mine, is also a staple in her kitchen. Lodge has been in the cast iron business since 1896, so it knows a thing or two about crafting sturdy pieces designed to withstand practically any cooking environment. This skillet is no exception; it can be used on all cooktops, is oven-safe and can even be placed over a grill or open flame. Lodge pans are so durable, people often pass them down to younger generations. I've only had mine for about 10 years, but it works just as well as the day I got it, if not better. Not bad for just 20 bucks! Another thing I love about this pan? It's made of iron and oil — no PFOAs or PTFEs, which gives me peace of mind about cooking without "forever chemicals." No wonder it's one of 12 pieces of cookware Garten links to on her website. Check out my full Lodge Cast Iron Skillet review for more. Speaking of Le Creuset, now is actually a fab time to score one of the brand's iconic Dutch ovens for less; it's down to its best price of 2025 in certain colors. Senior Home Writer Lisa Schweitzer swears by hers, so if you're willing to spend a bit more, she says it's definitely worth the investment. "I have done just about every cooking task in this pot — boiling, braising, searing and sautéing," she says. "I'm not much of a bread baker, so I've never used it for that, but Le Creuset has many fans who believe it's the best Dutch oven for sourdough bread baking (though that's better done in a 4- to 5-quart round Dutch oven and not the 6.75-quart oval one). I chose the oval style to gain more cooking surface area for searing larger cuts of meat, and I stand by that choice. I can brown six to eight chicken thighs in this baby, so it's perfect for cooking for a crowd!"

EXCLUSIVE Baywatch actress Erika Eleniak, 55, began as a child star in E.T. and later modeled for Playboy... see her now
The actress Erika Eleniak looked unrecognizable when she was spotted in Los Angeles this week. The 55-year-old film and television star is best known for starring on Baywatch for three years, from 1989 to 1992. She played Shauni McLain, the original female lead in the show's first two seasons. Although Baywatch — which suffered the tragic loss of one of its stars earlier this year — was unloved by critics and was even canceled by its original network NBC after just one season, the David Hasselhoff–starring series managed to live on in syndication for ten more seasons. Before her stint on Baywatch, Erika made her film debut in Steven Spielberg 's E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial in 1982, and she later changed up her image as a Playboy Playmate later that decade. Now, more than four decades after she got her big break in Hollywood, takes a look at what Erika looks like now. The actress and one-time model was pictured out in Los Angeles this week as she took her adorable black-and-white dog for a walk. Erika looked worlds apart from the clean-cut blonde who previously graced television screens across the nation. The most obvious changes was the sleeves of tattoos on her arms running from under her T-shirt sleeves all the way to her hands. The ink was a striking departure from her Baywatch days, when she showed off plenty of unmarked skin. Erika's tattoos suited her casual outfit, which included a black graphic T-shirt featuring the fairy Tinker Bell from Disney's 1953 animated film Peter Pan. 'Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust,' it read, referencing a line from the movie. She kept the low-key vibe going with black cargo shorts that had a rainbow with pink, white and gray stripes running down one leg, and she matched the stripes with her pink slide sandals. The actress accessorized with a black leather hip bag and wore her shoulder-length blond hair parted down the middle and turned up at the ends. The actress and one-time model was pictured out in Los Angeles this week as she took her adorable black-and-white dog for a walk Erika explained how she changed up her appearance with tattoos during the most recent episode of the Still Here Hollywood podcast with Steve Kmetko. She revealed that she started her tattoos on her back sometime in her 'late 20s,' which would have been after her stint on Baywatch ended at the start of the third season. 'Every tattoo that I have is significant of something,' she said, citing on that had her mother's name for example. 'I love tattoos. I love that my body is a canvas to tell my stories,' she added. Erika was born in Glendale, California, to parents of Ukrainian, Estonian and German descent whose family had previously settled in Canada. She made a memorable star turn in feature films in 1982 when she was cast as a girl who kisses the film's child star, Henry Thomas, during a classroom scene in which he's psychically influenced by the eponymous alien. Her next film role was in 1983's Imps*, which only received a belated release in 2009. In 1987, she began appearing on television with guest roles on Silver Spoons, Still the Beaver and Boys Will Be Boys. She said she started her tattoos on her back in her 'late 20s,' after her stint on Baywatch. 'Every tattoo that I have is significant of something,' she said, citing on that had her mother's name for example. 'I love tattoos. I love that my body is a canvas to tell my stories,' she added After a multi-year absence, she returned to film to play one of the victims in 1988's gross-out remake of The Blob, which is now considered a science fiction horror cult classic. She followed it up with roles in bigger budget films, including the Steven Seagal action film Under Siege, the 1993 film adaptation of The Beverly Hillbillies, the 1995 rom-com A Pyromaniac's Love Story and the 1996 Tales From The Crypt spinoff film Bordello Of Blood. Her subsequent films in the late '90s, 2000s and 2020s were less frequent and were small-budget independent productions. Erika's most recently film was 2024's Lolipop Gang, in which she appeared as herself five years after her previous film role. As she was starting to appear in more high-profile films, she also had a three-episode run opposite Scott Baio on Charles In Charge in 1989 before beginning her stint on Baywatch. She appeared in the show's TV movie pilot Panic At Malibu Pier as Shauni McClain before joining the main cast for the first two seasons. Her character started up a relationship with Billy Warlock's character Eddie Kramer, and they married at the beginning of the third season and moved to Australia, ending her time on the series. The actors were also engaged in real life at one point. The beginning of her Baywatch career in 1989 coincided with her appearing on the cover of the July 1989 issue of Playboy Magazine Just before her stint on Baywatch, Erika appeared as a Playmate on the July 1989 cover of Playboy Magazine when her roommate, a model for the magazine, introduced her to its photo editor, who encouraged her to model 'I viewed it as a modeling job,' she clarified on Still Here Hollywood, and she stressed that she always considered herself 'an actress who did Playboy,' rather than a real Playmate The beginning of her Baywatch career in 1989 coincided with her appearing on the cover of the July 1989 issue of Playboy Magazine. Just before her stint on Baywatch, Erika appeared as a Playmate on the July 1989 cover of Playboy Magazine when her roommate, a model for the magazine, introduced her to its photo editor, who encouraged her to model. Erika said she became known as 'the difficult' Playmate in the late '80s because she found shooting for the magazine uncomfortable and bristled at ideas from photographers. 'I viewed it as a modeling job,' she clarified on Still Here Hollywood, and she stressed that she always considered herself 'an actress who did Playboy,' rather than a real Playmate. Erika later married the bodybuilder Philip Golgia in 1998, but they divorced after just six months. In the early 2000s she began dating the film worker Roch Daigle, and they moved to Calgary, Canada, before tying the knot in 2005 and later welcoming a daughter together. Erika's most recent project was narrating an eight-episode podcast series, The Murder Years, from last year, according to IMDb.
