Her breakthrough role was as C.J. Parker on ''Baywatch'', which she played for five seasons between 1992 and 1997 making her one of the longest-serving cast members. The series has gained her popularity from international viewers and the character of Parker became one of her best-known roles, having been reenacted by multiple high-profile people since. Anderson was paid US$1,500 per episode during the first season. She reprised her role in a reunion movie, ''[[Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding]]'' (2003), and also appeared in commercials for [[DirecTV]] in 2007. Anderson was still modelling for ''Outdoor Life'' and appearing on the cover of the magazine each year. In 1993, Anderson appeared in a music video "Can't Have Your Cake" by [[Vince Neil]] to promote his first solo album, ''[[Exposed (Vince Neil album)|Exposed]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.biography.com/people/vince-neil-20638961|title=Vince Neil|work=Biography.com|access-date=February 19, 2019|url-status=deviated|archivedate=February 20, 2019|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20190220062934/https://www.biography.com/people/vince-neil-20638961}}</ref>
