Nancy Valen, 55
Nancy Valen was one of the beautiful brunettes in Baywatch. She played the role of Captain Samantha Thomas, who was a lifeguard captain. Thomas had a relationship with the main character Mitch Buchannon but later left Baywatch to be an entrepreneur. Baywatch is Valen’s most famous project, but she was also in series like Miami Vice and Ryan’s Hope.
It seems she took a temporary break from acting as she was inactive from 2007. She isn’t considering retirement just yet, however, as she’s been active again since 2018. She’s in fact billed to appear in an upcoming movie titled Better Than Perfect.
