Los Angeles, CA -- Former "Baywatch" babe Nicole Eggert is putting her acting career into helter skelter -- by joining the Manson Family.

The 29-year-old actress has been cast as Manson Family member Linda Casabian, for an upcoming film, "Family."

She says she hopes it will show off other sides of her talent besides being able to wear a bikini -- but she admits she may not do everything for her art.

For instance, although many real-life Manson gals shaved their heads for Charlie, Eggert doesn't want to shear her blonde locks.

She also has no plans of contacting any of the Manson family members on death row because -- in her words -- "I don't think I need to know THAT much information."
