In 1994, Gena saw an ad in the paper for The Price Is Right. At the cattle-call audition, she beat out hundreds of others, winning a spot as one of the game show's showcase models. "It was a great job. We would work three days a week, filming two shows a day with a ten day break every two weeks. It allowed me time to continue with my studies and auditions."

When not on the set of Baywatch, Gena Lee Nolin enjoys gardening at her home in West Los Angeles which she shares with her husband, Greg Falhman , her cat Milo and her cocker spaniel Clifford.
