Pamela Anderson

Pamela Denise Anderson (born July 1, 1967) is a Canadian American actress, model, media personality, and author. She rose to prominence after being selected as the February 1990 Playboy Playmate of the Month, and went on to make regular appearances on the magazine's cover and holding the record for the most Playboy covers by any individual. She then received international recognition for starring as "C.J." Parker on the action drama series Baywatch (1992–1997), which further cemented her status as a sex symbol. In 1995, personal home videos of Anderson with her then-husband Tommy Lee were stolen and sold as a sex tape, which resulted in a legal fight and made her the subject of controversy. Anderson later appeared in roles such as Barbara "Barb Wire" Kopetski in Barb Wire (1996), Heather Biblow-Imperiali in The Nanny (1997), Becca in Scary Movie 3 (2003), Skyler Dayton in Stacked (2005–2006), and had a cameo in Sacha Baron Cohen's Borat (2006). She also starred in her own reality series Pam: Girl on the Loose (2008), and has been involved with a number of reality television shows such as the Dancing with the Stars franchise (2010–2012, 2018). The 2020s saw a reappraisal of her career following her Broadway debut as Roxie Hart in the musical Chicago (2022), the release of the documentary Pamela, a Love Story (2023), and her role in the indie film The Last Showgirl (2024) for which she received a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama. Anderson is also known for her activism, having publicly supported many charitable matters and causes, particularly animal rights and PETA activities. She is also the author of the autobiography Love, Pamela (2023) and the plant-based cookbook I Love You: Recipes from the Heart (2024).
