- Robin Wright (Penn), The Princess Bride, 1986. Apart from the future Baywatch star, director Rob Reiner thumbed through a veritable little black book of Hollywood’s newyoung hotties!

- Rachel Ticotin, Total Recall, 1989. Paul and Nicole Kidman were seen for the Mars Resistance fighter Melina – opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger’s finest acting role. And I’m not joking. Nor was canny Chicago critic Roger Ebert: “He could have stalked and glowered through this movie and become a figure of fun, but instead, by allowing himself to seem confused and vulnerable, he provides a sympathetic center for all of the high-tech spectacle.”
- Pamela Anderson, Baywatch, TV, 1992-1997. Or Jigglevision with Pamela Anderson! But Paul as was judged too slim – everywhere – for the red swimsuited siren Casey “CJ” Parker’s 111 of the 220 episodes. Idem for…
- Nicole Eggert, Baywatch, TV, 1992-1996. … another lifeguard babe, Summer Quinn in 46 (of the full 220shows). The suits, however, liked Paul and had Stephanie Holden, created just for her 93 (of 220) episodes. Well, also for her twin sister, playing Holden’s twin. Except Caroline Paul was unavailable. Or, she’d read some of the scripts)
