second season of Baywatch finds her character, Donna Derrico
Marco, fascinated by the adventurous heroism it takes to be a lifeguard.
Like Mitch Buchannon (David Hasselhoff), she has the utmost respect
and admiration for this day-to-day, life and death job. This season,
however, Donna Derrico will turn up the heat by
stepping on a few toes while trying to rise through the ranks as
a lifeguard.
In high school, Donna
Derrico excelled at mathematics and was considering an
accounting career before she decided to make the move to Hollywood.
Having been bitten by the comedy bug at an early age, Donna
Derrico is now a favorite on shows like "The Tonight
Show" and "Entertainment Tonight," largely due to
her effervescent personality and quick wit.
A Georgia native,
Donna Derrico is also a nature enthusiast, enjoys
homeopathic philosophies and participates in Master's Competition
swim training on a weekly basis. Donna Derrico
enjoys the quiet life at home in Malibu with husband Nikki Sixx
of Motley CrŸe and their four children. "Our home offers
an escape that is like heaven for me to nurture our family and to
retreat from a hectic travel schedule. It's like a personal sanctuary
where I can regain my balance and stamina," says Donna
Derrico.
