Early life
Eggert was born in Glendale, California. Her mother, Gina Duncan, was a British-born talent agent, and her father, Rolf Eggert, was a German-born canning-company executive.{{cite web |url=https://people.com/archive/shore-leave-vol-41-no-21/ |title=Shore Leave |work=People |first=Tom |last=Gliatto |date=June 6, 1994}} 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. An agent saw her and offered her parents a role for her in a Johnson's baby shampoo commercial.
Career
In 1979, Eggert starred in ‘When She Was Bad’, opposite Cheryl Ladd and Robert Urich. In 1980, at age eight, Eggert landed a role in the film 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's snobby archrival Margaret Wade 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 to 1986 as Marci Ferguson, a friend of Samantha Micelli (Alyssa Milano).

She was featured as one of the many lifeguards on seasons three and four on the syndicated series Baywatch.{{cite magazine |url=https://ew.com/article/1995/06/09/nicole-eggert-reflcects-baywatch/ |title=Nicole Eggert reflcects on Baywatch |date=June 9, 1995 |magazine=Entertainment Weekly |access-date=February 23, 2010 |first=Marion |last=Hart}} She appeared on the series from 1992 to 1994 and was originally supposed to be on a Baywatch spin-off (she returned to Baywatch for the reunion film Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding (2003)).

Biographies on the Internet insist that she was wed to Justin Herwick. Not so, she says. "Yeah, never married. And we look at each other, because we're still friends to this day, and we're like, 'What?' And where did they come up with the date (of the wedding)? It was, like, way after my daughter was born. I don't know. I don't know where they come up with this stuff, honestly." She says she's tried to inform them that the information is wrong, but they constantly tell her incorrect.}} Eggert has never been married, though she was previously engaged to actor Corey Haim, with whom she starred in Blown Away (1992), The Double 0 Kid (1992) and Anything for Love (1993). She is credited with helping to save Haim's life at least once by taking him to the hospital to detox during a 'narcotic rush',{{cite web |title=Lost Boys star Corey Haim: 10 things you didn't know about Victoria Beckham's one-time beau |url=http://www.metro.co.uk/showbiz/816820-lost-boys-star-corey-haim-10-things-you-didnt-know-about-victoria-beckhams-one-time-beau |website=Metro |date=March 10, 2010 |access-date=March 19, 2010 |first=Joanne |last=McCabe |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121001000949/http://www.metro.co.uk/showbiz/816820-lost-boys-star-corey-haim-10-things-you-didnt-know-about-victoria-beckhams-one-time-beau |archive-date=October 1, 2012}} although she has said: "I spent a lot of nights in emergency rooms with him.

On January 29, 2018, sexual misconduct allegations made by Eggert against Scott Baio surfaced. In 2013, Eggert stated on the Nik Richie Radio show that she and Baio had a one-time encounter "years" after Charles in Charge ended, which would have been after 1990. In the more elaborated account, discussed on The Dr. Oz Show and Megyn Kelly Today, Eggert claimed that Baio molested her beginning in 1986 when she was 14, and that when she was 17, she had intercourse with him. Baio contends that he had sexual relations with Eggert only once, and that the encounter occurred after she had turned 18. Baio explained that Eggert's own words to Richie proved he did not have intercourse with Eggert while she was a minor, since the final episode of Charles in Charge aired in November 1990, ten months after Eggert turned 18.{{cite magazine |url=http://ew.com/tv/2018/01/31/scott-baio-nicole-eggert-molestation-claims-good-morning-america/ |title=Scott Baio denies Nicole Eggert's molestation claims: 'Absolutely nothing' happened |magazine=Entertainment Weekly |first=Nick |last=Romano |date=January 31, 2018}}{{cite web |last1=Fernandez |first1=Alexia |url=http://people.com/tv/alexander-polinsky-accuses-scott-baio-physical-assault/ |title=Charles in Charge's Alexander Polinsky Accuses Scott Baio of Physical Assault & Mental Abuse |work=People |date=February 7, 2018 |language=en}}{{cite web |url=http://www.thisisinsider.com/nicole-eggert-scott-baio-sexual-molestation-allegations-charles-in-charge-2018-2 |title=Here's everything you need to know about the sexual misconduct allegations against Scott Baio |website=Insider |first=Olivia |last=Singh |date=February 15, 2018}}

She initially thought the symptoms were menopause-related, after gaining 25 lbs (11 kg) and experienced "terrible pain" in her left breast.{{cite web |first=Suki |last=Reid |url=https://celebrity.nine.com.au/latest/baywatch-star-nicole-eggert-diagnosed-with-breast-cancer/bcfb6e44-3b51-48b5-b221-134f0e8f49b3|title=Baywatch star Nicole Eggert reveals she has been diagnosed with breast cancer |date=January 9, 2023 |access-date=January 9, 2023|work=Nine Network}}
