Bonkers BAYWATCH SECRETS

With the hit show about to get a reboot, star Tania Zaetta tells all

Nineties TV star Tania N Zaetta laughs out loud when asked to spill secrets from the set of Baywatch, the show that changed her life 24 years ago, when she starred in several episodes of the Aussie special.

There were lavish dinners, backstage passes to pop concerts, personal trailers filled with favourite treats and even a feud with some of Australia's richest residents.

"It was someone's job to spray all the actors down with water to make them look wet, and I know many men in the world would have loved that job," giggles mum-of-twins Tania, who was one of just six Aussies to star in Baywatch Down Under in 1999. "It was definitely the largest scale production I've ever been on with the most amount of crew members.

"We even had people who were our stand-ins. We were all just very happy to be there. There were no diva demands that I knew of. I'm sure it might have been different in America with all the big stars."

The only huge fight that happened was with the well-heeled residents of Avalon on Sydney's northern beaches, who protested when US producers toyed with the idea of moving the production permanently to Australia.
