Early life

Eggert was born in Glendale, California. Her mother, Gina Duncan, was a British-born talent agent, and her father, Rolf Eggert, was a German-born canning-company executive. [5] Eggert's quest for stardom started when her mother entered her in beauty contests. At age five, Eggert was Miss Universe in the petite division. [4] An agent saw her and offered her parents a role for her in a Johnson's baby shampoo commercial. [4]

Career

In 1980, at age eight, Eggert landed a role in the film Rich and Famous , opposite Jacqueline Bisset and Candice Bergen, playing Bergen's character's young daughter.

Also in 1980, Eggert provided the voice of Dennis's snobby archrival Margaret Wade in Dennis the Menace in Mayday for Mother , which was the first animated adaptation in the Dennis the Menace trilogy.

Eggert had a recurring role on Who's the Boss? from 1985 to 1986 as Marci Ferguson, a friend of Samantha Micelli (Alyssa Milano). In January 1987, she starred on the situation comedy Charles in Charge as Jamie Powell. In 1989, she hosted the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards with Wil Wheaton. [6] That same year, she was the first guest star to appear on The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! . [7] She starred as Alexa Adams in the TV film adaptation of Danielle Steel's Secrets , released in 1992. She was featured as one of the many lifeguards on seasons three and four on the syndicated series Baywatch. [8] She appeared on the series from 1992 to 1994 and was originally supposed to be on a Baywatch spin-off (she returned to Baywatch for the reunion film Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding (2003)). [4] She appeared on Married... with Children in an episode titled "Enemies" as Shannon (1996), intended to be a backdoor pilot for a spin-off.

Eggert appears on the cover of rock band Sugar Ray's debut album, Lemonade and Brownies .

In 2004, Eggert played the role of Ginger in the first edition of the TBS network's The Real Gilligan's Island reality show. [9] She appeared on Scott Baio Is 45...and Single (featuring her Charles in Charge co-star) in 2007.

In 2013, Eggert was added to the cast of Splash, the celebrity diving show on ABC. In April, it was reported she was injured during the taping of an episode. [12] In the days following, she denied sustaining any serious injury.

In 2014, Eggert began a new career as the owner-operator of an ice-cream truck. [13]

In 2019, she appeared on the fourth episode of Back in the Game .

Personal life

Eggert has two daughters–Dilyn, born in 1998, and another daughter born in 2011. [14] Dilyn's father is actor Justin Herwick; despite numerous rumours and claims to the contrary, Eggert and Herwick were never a married couple. [15] Eggert has never been married, though she was previously engaged to actor Corey Haim, with whom she starred in Blown Away (1992), The Double 0 Kid (1992) and Anything for Love (1993). She is credited with helping to save Haim's life at least once by taking him to the hospital to detox during a 'narcotic rush', [16] although she has said: "I spent a lot of nights in emergency rooms with him. I don't think that I saved his life, I just think that I was there for him." [17]

In 2015, she appeared on the television series Botched for a breast reduction. [18]

On January 29, 2018, sexual misconduct allegations made by Eggert against Scott Baio surfaced. In 2013, Eggert stated on the Nik Richie Radio show that she and Baio had a one-time encounter "years" after Charles in Charge ended, which would have been after 1990. In the more elaborated account, discussed on The Dr. Oz Show and Megyn Kelly Today , Eggert claimed that Baio molested her beginning in 1986 when she was 14, and that when she was 17, she had intercourse with him. Baio contends that he had sexual relations with Eggert only once, and that the encounter occurred after she had turned 18. Baio explained that Eggert's own words to Richie proved he did not have intercourse with Eggert while she was a minor, since the final episode of Charles in Charge aired in November 1990, ten months after Eggert turned 18. [19] [20] [21]

In December 2023, Eggert was diagnosed with stage 2 invasive cribriform carcinoma of the breast. She initially thought the symptoms were menopause-related, after gaining 25 lbs (11 kg) and experienced "terrible pain" in her left breast. [22]
