career. In 1995, Electra started appearing in various television programs. Then,
in May of 1996 she was featured in a nude pictorial in Playboy magazine, the
first of several. This exposure led to higher profile television appearances,
including Baywatch (cast member from 1997-1998) and MTV's Singled Out. She returned
to Baywatch for the 2003 reunion movie, Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding.

subsequently graced the cover twice, in December 2000 and April 2003. In the
Playboy Cyber Club, she was the first woman invited to be a celebrity guest
