Erika Eleniak, known for playing lifeguard Shauni McClain on Baywatch, has earned nearly $300,000 during her first three months on OnlyFans, according to TMZ. That performance puts the actress on pace to make roughly $1 million in her first year on the subscription platform.
Eleniak played Shauni McClain from 1989 to 1992 and became one of Baywatch’s original stars. She told Fox News Digital that she initially expected to dislike OnlyFans, but said she now enjoys using it to reconnect with people who have followed her career since projects including E.T., Baywatch, Playboy and The Beverly Hillbillies.
According to TMZ, her earnings have risen well above the $10,000 per week she was reportedly making shortly after launching her profile in August. The outlet previously reported that she had more than 1,100 subscribers.
Eleniak described her material as personal, playful and unfiltered. She said she has received requests involving feet, which surprised her because of how popular that type of content proved to be. She also said the response to her account has been largely supportive, with limited backlash beyond the occasional online troll.
The actress said OnlyFans feels increasingly like a direct, modern fan club and gives creators greater control over their image and content. She added that joining the platform has helped her feel comfortable in her body and more empowered at 57.
Eleniak is also preparing to return to the Baywatch universe. She is scheduled to reprise her role in a guest appearance on Fox’s upcoming reboot, which is set to premiere on Jan. 6, 2027. She said she would like the opportunity to return for a more regular role if the series receives another season.
