The Prince protégée who became the late-90s everywhere-woman: Playboy covers, Baywatch's Lani McKenzie, MTV's Singled Out, and a Las Vegas wedding to Dennis Rodman that hit annulment papers nine days later. Then the 2000s spoof-movie wave made her its favorite good sport.
The Playmate who snort-laughed at the glamour game. As MTV's Singled Out co-host she buried the pin-up script under googly faces and gross-out physical comedy — and proved a bombshell could be the funniest person in the room.
Discovered on a stadium jumbotron in a beer T-shirt, she became the decade's defining pin-up via a red swimsuit and a slow-motion jog. Baywatch's C.J. Parker was less a character than a cultural symbol — and no one on Earth was more 90s-famous.
