For the excursion, Eleniak rocked a mostly black outfit featuring a graphic T-shirt and cargo shorts with a strip of white, gray and pink on one leg. The top included Tinker Bell from Peter Pan alongside the phrase "Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust."

In addition to starring in Baywatch from 1989 to 1992, Eleniak is known for her roles in The Blob (1988), E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982), Under Siege (1992), The Beverly Hillbillies (1993) and more.

She was also a Playboy Playmate—but almost by accident.

"I didn't set out to do Playboy," Eleniak revealed on the Still Here Hollywood podcast. "I actually was with a girlfriend of mine who was a Playmate, and we were roommates. And I went with her to go pick up her film from the then-editor, Marilyn Grabowski, who was there. And she and I met, and she said, 'You should do the magazine.'"

Although Eleniak hesitated at first, she gave it a try and became known as the "difficult" Playboy model because she was "guarded" about her angles.
