Alexandra Paul / Alexandra Elizabeth Paul who is best known for her role of Lt. Stephanie Holden in “Baywatch”, got a restraining order against an obsessed fan who has been harassing the actress and her husband for more than a decade. The 58-year old 90’s star claims that a woman from Germany, Nicole Albrecht, has been tormenting her since she first showed up in front of her LA home in 2011. For the record, “Baywatch” was hugely popular in Germany a couple of decades ago.

She put the car in drive, hit Ian, and fled the scene. Alexandra Paul The couple immediately contacted the police.
