Career
At the age of 10 months in 1969, Yasmine made her first appearance in a Johnson & Johnson’s No More Tears baby shampoo television advertisement. She made an appearance on Candid Camera at the age of six.

Francesco Scavullo, a fashion photographer, saw her work in this campaign and later included her and her mother in his book, Scavullo Women.
Bleeth was described by Total Film magazine as saying, “When I was a young girl, I had to coerce boys into kissing me. They had to be restrained by my toughest friend.”
In the 1980 movie Hey Babe!, Bleeth, then 12 years old, was cast in her first movie role opposite Buddy Hackett.
She appeared in a commercial in 1983 with the Puerto Rican band Menudo.
From February 1985, when she was 16, to the daytime serial series Ryan’s Hope’s final episode on January 13, 1989, she portrayed an adult Ryan Fenelli.
After the 1989 discontinuation of the program, Carina Bleeth, Bleeth’s mother, was identified as having inflammatory breast cancer.
At the age of 47, she passed away within a year, and Bleeth dealt with her bereavement by staying at home and going for walks and cooking shows.
