In 1995, Nolin starred in her biggest role as Neely Capshaw in the television series Baywatch (becoming the second actress to play the controversial character, who was originally created to appear as a one-episode part).

In 1998, Nolin quit Baywatch and started her own show, Sheena (TV series), in 2000. In late 2001, Nolin posed nude for Playboy magazine, further increasing her fame. In 2002, Sheena was cancelled.
