It was the late '90s, and Carmen Electra was ready to rock her "Baywatch" audition. The celeb revealed to People that when she walked into the room, David Hasselhoff, the O.G. L.A. County Lifeguard, was sitting there along with the producers. Electra had already practiced the dialogue for her scene, so the reading was no big deal. But then the crew pulled out the classic "Baywatch" one-piece and told her to go get changed.

Electra admitted, "I had no idea, because I was wearing like leggings when I went to the audition. And I didn't shave my legs that morning. I had no idea. I'm like, oh my God, I'm so embarrassed!" We're all for embracing (or not embracing) whichever beauty practices you like. Still, we shudder to think of putting on an itty-bitty swimsuit with zero warning. 

Fortunately, things turned out alright for the bombshell model. She went in, changed into the suit, and finished rocking her audition. "My legs weren't that hairy where you could notice, but I would have liked to have shaved my legs," she admitted. Her hair obviously didn't scare off the producers, because Electra was welcomed to the cast in 1997.
