Biography
About Alexandra Paul
Alexandra Paul's career has spanned more than four decades, and she is best known for her starring role as Lt. Stephanie Holden on Baywatch. But before that role, she was a teenage model in New York City and Milan. She chose acting over college, skipping Stanford University. Her first lead role came in the TV movie Paper Dolls in 1982, when she was 18. She quickly moved into studio films, including Stephen King's Christine, American Flyers with Kevin Costner, and Dragnet with Tom Hanks and Dan Aykroyd.
She is American, but also holds British citizenship. Her acting range has been wide. She has played a lesbian four times, which she appreciates because her identical twin sister is gay. She has also shot two movies in war-torn Croatia with Pierce Brosnan. In the 1990s, she had regular roles on series like Fire Co 132 and the last eight episodes of Melrose Place. In the early 2000s, she starred in 11 Lifetime Movie Network films. She even filmed a cameo for Borat, though it was cut. She stays in the DVD extras.
Beyond acting, Alexandra is an activist and athlete. She has competed in the Hawaii Ironman, run marathons, and swum up to 14 miles in ocean races. She has hosted extreme sports and environmental TV shows, including 150 episodes of Earth Talk Today. She also hosted the healthy lifestyle podcast Switch4Good for 250 episodes. That podcast won Mercy for Animals' Best Vegan Podcast in 2024. Recently, she was a finalist for a 2025 journalism award for a first-person account about being stalked for 13 years. With 75 lead roles and many more supporting parts, she remains active.
She is a producer too. She works on a drama based on Free the Animals and an action comedy with eight of her Baywatch castmates. She is 5'10" and slim, with brown hair and hazel eyes.
