Early life

Eggert was born in Glendale, California. Her mother, Gina Duncan, is a British-born talent agent, and her father, Rolf Eggert, was a German-born canning company executive.[5][6] Eggert's quest for stardom started when her mother entered her in beauty contests. At age five, Eggert was Miss Universe in the petite division.[4] An agent saw her and offered her a role in a Johnson's Baby Shampoo commercial.[4]

In 1980, at age eight, Eggert landed a role in the movie Rich and Famous, opposite Jacqueline Bisset and Candice Bergen, playing Bergen's character's young daughter.

Also in 1980, Eggert provided the voice of Dennis' arch snobby rival Margaret in Dennis the Menace in Mayday for Mother which was the first animated adaptation in the Dennis the Menace trilogy.

Eggert had a recurring role on Who's The Boss? from 1985–1986 as Marci Ferguson, who was a friend of Samantha Micelli (Alyssa Milano). In January 1987, she starred on the television show Charles in Charge as Jamie Powell. After the show was cancelled in 1990, she starred as Alexa Adams in the film adaptation of Danielle Steele's 'Secrets' which released in 1992. She was featured as one of the many lifeguards on seasons 3 and 4 on the syndicated show, Baywatch.[7] She appeared on the show from 1992 to 1994 and was originally supposed to be on a Baywatch spin-off (she returned to Baywatch for the 2003 reunion movie, Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding).[4] She appeared on Married... with Children in episode "Enemies" (opposite of the series Friends) as Shannon (1996), intended to be a back-door pilot for a spin-off.

In 2014, Eggert began a new career as the owner-operator of an ice-cream truck, describing it as a "Family run business bringing a fun, unique, and innovative twist to the ice cream man."[14]

Personal life

Eggert was engaged to Canadian actor Corey Haim, with whom she starred in Blown Away (1992), The Double 0 Kid (1992) and Just One of the Girls (1993). Eggert is credited with helping to save Haim's life at least once by taking him to the hospital to detox during a 'narcotic rush',[15] although she has said: "I spent a lot of nights in emergency rooms with him. I don't think that I saved his life, I just think that I was there for him."[16]
