Signature

Pamela Denise Anderson (born July 1, 1967)^[2]^[3]^[4] is a Canadian-American actress, model and media personality. She rose to prominence after being selected as the February 1990 Playboy Playmate of the Month. She went on to make regular appearances on the magazine's cover and held the record for the most Playboy covers by any individual.^[5] Anderson began her acting career on the ABC sitcom Home Improvement (1991–1993, 1997), before receiving international recognition for starring as "C.J." Parker in the drama series Baywatch (1992–1997), which further cemented her status as a sex symbol.^[6]

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.^[7] Anderson starred as Vallery Irons in the syndicated series V.I.P. (1998–2002) and as Skyler Dayton in the Fox sitcom Stacked (2005–2006). Her film credits include Barb Wire (1996), Scary Movie 3 (2003), Borat (2006), Baywatch (2017), and City Hunter (2018). She starred in her own reality series Pam: Girl on the Loose (2008) and appeared as a contestant on the Dancing with the Stars franchise (2010–2012, 2018).

Anderson saw a career resurgence in the 2020s after her 2022 Broadway debut portraying Roxie Hart in the long-running musical Chicago, the 2023 Netflix documentary Pamela, a Love Story (which coincided with the release of her autobiography, Love, Pamela), and the 2024 indie-drama film The Last Showgirl, the latter of which earned her nominations for the Golden Globe Award and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Actress.^[8]

Anderson has publicly supported various charitable causes, particularly animal rights, and has endorsed PETA activities.^[9] She endorses plant-based cooking and serves as the host for Flavour Network's plant-based cooking show, Pamela's Cooking with Love (2025–present).^[10] She also released the plant-based cookbook I Love You: Recipes from the Heart (2024).

Early life

[edit]

Anderson was born in Ladysmith, British Columbia, Canada, the daughter of Barry Anderson, a furnace repairman, and Carol, a waitress. Her great-grandfather, Juho Hyytiäinen, was a Finnish native of Saarijärvi, and left the Grand Duchy of Finland (which was an autonomous state within the Russian Empire at the time)^[11] for Canada in 1908.^[12] He changed his name to Anderson when he arrived as an immigrant. Anderson also has Volga German ancestry on her mother's side; her grandmother, ethnically German, was born in Russia in a Mennonite village and immigrated to Canada in 1901.^[13]^[14]^[15] Anderson received press coverage right after her birth as a "Centennial Baby", having been born on July 1, 1967, the 100th anniversary of Canada's official founding via the Constitution Act, 1867.^[16]^[17] She has a younger brother, Gerry (born 1971), an actor and producer who worked in some of her films and television shows.

Anderson suffered sexual abuse as a child, a fact she revealed publicly in 2014. She said she was molested by a female babysitter from ages 6 to 10, raped by a 25-year-old man when she was age 12, and gang-raped by her boyfriend and six of his friends when she was 14.^[18]

Anderson attended Highland Secondary School in Comox, British Columbia. In high school, she played on the volleyball team,^[19] and graduated in 1985.^[20] In 1988, she moved to Vancouver and worked as a fitness instructor.^[20]

Career

[edit]

1989–1999: Modeling and acting breakthrough

[edit]

In 1989, Anderson attended a BC Lions Canadian Football League game at the BC Place Stadium in Vancouver,^[21] where she was featured on the jumbotron while wearing a Labatt's Beer T-shirt.^[21] The brewing company hired Anderson briefly as a spokesmodel.^[21] Inspired by the event, her then-boyfriend Dan Ilicic produced a poster of her image, entitled the Blue Zone Girl.^[22]

Anderson was flown to Los Angeles for a photo shoot; she appeared as the cover girl on Playboy magazine's October 1989 issue. She subsequently moved to the United States, settling in LA to further pursue a modelling career. Playboy subsequently chose her as Playmate of the Month in their February 1990 issue, in which she appeared in the centerfold portrait. Anderson then elected to have breast implant surgery, increasing her bust size to 34D. She increased her bust size again, to 34DD, several years later.^[23] Her Playboy career spans 22 years, and she has appeared on more Playboy covers than any other model.^[24] She has also made numerous appearances in the publication's newsstand specials. Anderson wrote the foreword in the Playboy coffee table book Playboy's Greatest Covers. After Anderson moved to Los Angeles, she won a minor role as Lisa, the original "Tool Time Girl", on the ABC comedy series Home Improvement.

Her breakthrough role was as C.J. Parker on Baywatch, which she played for five seasons between 1992 and 1997 making her one of the longest-serving cast members. The series has gained her popularity from international viewers and the character of Parker became one of her best-known roles, having been reenacted by multiple high-profile people since. Anderson was paid US$1,500 per episode during the first season. She reprised her role in a reunion movie, Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding (2003), and also appeared in commercials for DirecTV in 2007. Anderson was still modelling for Outdoor Life and appearing on the cover of the magazine each year. In 1993, Anderson appeared in a music video "Can't Have Your Cake" by Vince Neil to promote his first solo album, Exposed.^[25]

In 1994, she was cast in her first starring film role, in Raw Justice, also known as Good Cop, Bad Cop, co-starring with Stacy Keach, David Keith, and Robert Hays. Under the alternate title, the film won the Bronze Award at the Worldfest-Charleston in the category for dramatic theatrical films.^[26] In 1996, she played Barbara Rose Kopetski in the film Barb Wire. The movie, a thinly veiled futuristic remake of Casablanca, was not a commercial success. During filming, she had barbed wire tattooed on her left upper arm instead of having it painted on by make-up artists every day, but she had it removed in 2016.^[27] In April 1997, she guest-hosted Saturday Night Live. She appeared on one of two covers for the September issue of Playboy.^[28] In September 1998, Anderson starred as Vallery Irons in the Sony Pictures Television syndicated action/comedy-drama series V.I.P. created by J. F. Lawton.^[29] The series had a successful four-year run.^[30] In 1999, she appeared as a man-eating giantess in the music video for "Miserable" by California alternative rock band Lit. She appeared on The Nanny as Fran Fine's rival, Heather Biblow.^[23]

2000–2009: Rise to media prominence

[edit]

Sam Newman House, a pop architecture building constructed in 2001 in St Kilda, Victoria, Australia, has a large image of Anderson's face. Sam Newman commissioned local architect Cassandra Fahey to design the building, and used the image with Anderson's permission. Permits were issued retroactively when it became a major local landmark and won the award for Best New Residential Building in the RAIA Victorian Architecture Awards.^[31] Later that year, Anderson played herself in the Miller Lite TV commercial "Pillow Fight", the sequel to the brand's earlier commercial "Catfight", with models Tanya Ballinger and Kitana Baker reprising their roles.^[32]

In May 2004, Anderson appeared nude on the cover of Playboy magazine. Later, she posed naked for Stuff and GQ magazines. Anderson was also featured on the cover of the fashion magazines W, British Marie Claire, Flare, and Elle Canada and in editorials for Russian Elle and V.^[33]

In 2004, she released the book Star, co-written by Eric Shaw Quinn, about a teenager trying to become famous. After this, she began touring the United States, signing autographs for fans nationwide. Her second book, Star Struck, released in 2005, is a thinly veiled look at her life with Tommy Lee and the trials of celebrity life. In 2005, Anderson starred in a new Fox comedy series Stacked as Skyler Dayton, a party girl who works at a book store. It was cancelled on May 18, 2006, after two seasons. On August 14, 2005, Comedy Central aired the Roast of Pamela Anderson.

In December 2005, NBC cut a video of Anderson pole dancing to Elton John's "The Red Piano", saying that the footage was inappropriate for prime time. The video was shown on huge screens during the event, while John played "The Bitch is Back".

In March 2006, Anderson received a star on Canada's Walk of Fame.^[34] In April 2006, she hosted Canada's Juno Awards, becoming the first non-singer and model to do so.^[35] She also appeared in the 2006 mockumentary Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, in which the title character becomes obsessed with her and plans to abduct and marry her. She appears as herself at a book-signing at the end of the film, confronted by Borat in a staged botched abduction.^[36]

Anderson performed on February 13–14, 2008, in a Valentine's Day strip-tease act at the Crazy Horse cabaret in Paris.^[37] Anderson then starred in the reality series Pam: Girl on the Loose.

In December 2009, Anderson guest-starred as Genie of the Lamp in the pantomime Aladdin at the New Wimbledon Theatre in Wimbledon, in southwest London.^[38]^[39] Anderson took over the role from comedian Ruby Wax, with former EastEnders actress Anita Dobson and comedian Paul O'Grady also booked for the role.^[40]

2010–2021: Shift to reality television

[edit]

In 2010, she appeared in the short film The Commuter directed by the McHenry Brothers and shot entirely on the Nokia N8 smartphone as promotion for the phone in the UK.^[41]^[42] Anderson was featured in a beach-themed editorial, shot by Mario Testino for Brazilian Vogue's June 2013 "Body Issue".^[43]

In November 2010, Anderson appeared on season 4 of Bigg Boss, the Indian version of the Big Brother television franchise. She stayed as a guest in the house for three days for a reported sum of Rs. 2.5 crores (approx US$550,000).^[44] Furthering her involvement in the franchise, Anderson took part in the 12th season of Big Brother in the United Kingdom in 2011.^[45] In 2012, she appeared as a Special Houseguest on the fourth season of VIP Brother, the celebrity spin-off of Big Brother in Bulgaria.^[46]

On Day 12 of the first season of Promi Big Brother in Germany, she entered the house, as a Special Guest Star on the final day.^[47] David Hasselhoff, a former Baywatch co-star, was a contestant on Days 1 to 5.

Anderson was a contestant on the tenth season of Dancing with the Stars, partnered with professional dancer Damian Whitewood. The season premiered on March 22, 2010.^[48] Anderson was eliminated after seven weeks.^[49] She also took part in the 15th season all-star edition in 2012 with Tristan MacManus. Anderson and MacManus were eliminated in the first week of competition.^[50]

2022–present: Return to acting and critical acclaim

[edit]

Anderson made her Broadway debut playing Roxie Hart in the Broadway production of Chicago for eight weeks from April 12, 2022 to June 5, 2022^[55] (her first time performing since 2019).^[56] A few months later in 2023, Netflix released a documentary directed by Ryan White on her life from childhood to the 2022 appearance in Chicago, called Pamela, a Love Story. It was also produced by her son Brandon Thomas Lee, who received his first Primetime Emmy Award nomination as a producer in the 2023 Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Special category for his work on the film.^[57] Its release coincided with Anderson's autobiography, Love, Pamela,^[58] which debuted at number two on The New York Times Best Seller list within its first week of release.^[59]

After watching Pamela, a Love Story, Gia Coppola wanted to cast Anderson as Shelly in the 2024 drama film The Last Showgirl.^[60] She sent the script to Anderson's then-agent who turned it down within the hour without letting Anderson know about it. Coppola then reached out to Anderson's son Brandon through mutual friends, who passed it along to his mother. While Anderson had given up on acting by this point,^[61]^[62] she accepted the role. She was officially cast in February 2024, starring alongside Jamie Lee Curtis, Dave Bautista, Brenda Song, Kiernan Shipka and Billie Lourd.^[63] The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2024, with Anderson calling it "the role I have been waiting for my entire career".^[64]^[65] Caryn James of the BBC called Anderson "a revelation" and wrote: "The low-key devastation Anderson has captured is the real acting triumph."^[66] David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter said Anderson's "transformative performance is undeniably affecting, offering illuminating insights into both the character and the actress playing her, who has had to struggle to be taken seriously. This role should mark a turning point on that front."^[67] Anderson received a nomination for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama for her performance in the film, marking her first Golden Globe Award nomination and the first major industry acting nomination in her career.^[68] She was also nominated for the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role.^[69] When asked in an interview about not being nominated for an Academy Award for this role Anderson stated: "I always say the win is in the work...I got to do something I really love, and I needed to do that for my soul."^[70]

Anderson appeared in the November 12, 2024 episode of the Criterion Closet, where she discussed her lifelong interest in cinema. The films she selected included Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless, David Lynch's Blue Velvet, Federico Fellini's La Strada and David Lean's Summertime.^[71]

Anderson is slated to appear in The Naked Gun^[72] and Karim Aïnouz's Rosebush Pruning.^[73]

Activism

[edit]

Animal rights

[edit]

Anderson advocates for animal rights, and is an active member of the animal protection organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).^[74]

She became the center of controversy when she posed for a PETA ad wearing a bikini with sections drawn on her body dividing it into ribs, rump, shoulder, etc., like a diagram of meat cuts; the ad's tagline was "All Animals Have the Same Parts". The ad was banned in Montreal, Quebec on grounds that it was sexist. Anderson retorted, "In a city that is known for its exotic dancing and for being progressive and edgy, how sad that a woman would be banned from using her own body in a political protest over the suffering of cows and chickens. In some parts of the world, women are forced to cover their whole bodies with burqas – is that next? I didn't think that Canada would be so puritanical."^[75]

She became a company spokesperson for FrogAds, Inc. in March 2012.^[76] In February 2014, she stripped for a Valentine's Day-themed ad for PETA, urging dog lovers to cuddle up with their pets during winter.^[77]

On July 8, 2015, Anderson wrote to Putin to save whales.^[78] On December 15, 2015, Anderson, representing the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), met with top Kremlin officials regarding animals rights in Russia.^[79] On December 15, 2016, Anderson and IFAW officials met with Kremlin officials to discuss animal welfare and conservation.^[80]^[81]

In December 2015, Anderson, a close friend of Sea Shepherd Conservation Society founder Paul Watson and a long-time supporter and advisory board member, became a full board member in order to further its efforts in opposing the hunting of whales.^[82]

Anti-pornography

[edit]

Anderson has been critical of pornography. In 2016, she co-authored a viral opinion article in The Wall Street Journal with Orthodox rabbi Shmuley Boteach, in which they called online pornography a "public hazard of unprecedented seriousness."^[83]^[84]^[85]^[86] The two called for a "sensual revolution" to replace "pornography with eroticism, the alloying of sex with love, of physicality with personality, of the body's mechanics with imagination, of orgasmic release with binding relationships."^[85] They later gave a joint lecture at Oxford University to over 1,000 people.^[87] Boteach observed: "It can be intimidating to talk about pornography and eroticism alongside an international sex symbol, but I think Pamela has handled it extremely well."^[88] The two also wrote a book together, Lust for Love (2018), about how meaningful, passionate sex has been declining, and called for a new sensual revolution that emphasizes partners connecting in the bedroom.^[87]^[89]

Julian Assange

[edit]

In December 2016, in a statement to People magazine, Anderson called WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange a "hero". She stated that he had done everyone "a great service" and that "[e]veryone in the world has benefited because of WikiLeaks," while decrying how "elaborate plots against him and made up sexual allegations could result in him being extradited to the US – where he would not be treated fairly – because of his exposure of truths."^[90] In April 2019, Anderson expressed anger on Twitter at Assange's expulsion from Ecuador's London embassy.^[91] In May 2019, Anderson visited Assange in Belmarsh prison with Kristinn Hrafnsson, and said she believed Assange to be innocent, saying, "He is a good man, he is an incredible person. I love him, I can't imagine what he has been going through."^[92]

In October 2019, Anderson announced she would be travelling to Australia in November 2019 to challenge Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison to stand up for Assange. In her announcement, she referenced the 'disparaging remarks' he made about her in 2018 and challenged him to debate the matter "in front of the Australian people." She also wrote another letter to Morrison asking him to use his influence to secure Assange's release. Morrison replied with a letter, saying that his government would respect Britain's judicial process and Assange would not receive any special help. In the text of a speech she had intended to give at Parliament House, Canberra, Anderson said that Assange was suffering "psychological torture" in jail and that "every moment he is in there, he is in danger".^[93]^[94]^[95]

On January 18, 2021, Anderson spoke on the Fox News show Tucker Carlson Tonight, asking President Donald Trump to pardon Assange.^[96]

Additional activism

[edit]

In March 2005, Anderson became a spokesperson for MAC Cosmetics's MAC AIDS Fund, which helped people affected by AIDS and HIV. After becoming the official spokesmodel, Anderson raised money during Toronto, Tokyo, Dublin, and Athens events. Anderson became the celebrity spokesperson for the American Liver Foundation and served as the Grand Marshal of the SOS motorcycle ride fundraiser.^[97]

In 2009, Anderson wrote an open letter to President Barack Obama urging the legalization of cannabis.^[98]

In November 2016, Anderson starred in a video public service announcement^[99] produced by the National Limousine Association and the National Sexual Violence Resource Center as part of the Ride Responsibly initiative, titled The Driving Game, which aimed to shed light on the lack of universal driver regulations in the private ground transportation industry.^[100]

Anderson once again starred in a video public service announcement^[101] produced by the National Limousine Association in January 2018, this time in partnership with Promoting Awareness | Victim Empowerment (PAVE), as part of the Ride Responsibly initiative. The video titled The Signs pushes for passenger safety and universal driver regulations in the private ground transportation industry.^[102]

In the 2019 Canadian federal election, she endorsed the Green Party of Canada.^[103]

After supporting the yellow vests movement, Anderson attended a meeting of the European Spring with Yanis Varoufakis and Benoît Hamon.^[104] She appeared as a supporter on election posters of the German DiEM25 campaign in the run-up to the 2019 European Elections.^[105]

Plant-based cooking

[edit]

Anderson became a vegetarian in her early teens after her father went hunting and brought home a "bloodied deer."^[106] She eventually transitioned to a vegan diet in her twenties,^[107] and promotes the benefits of a plant-based diet.^[108]^[109] She served as an executive producer for the 2018 plant-based documentary, The Game Changers, along with James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Jackie Chan.^[110]^[111]^[107]

In 2024, Anderson published the plant-based cookbook, I Love You: Recipes From the Heart.^[112]^[113]^[114] VegNews says it is one of "The Best Vegan Cookbooks of 2024,"^[115] Chowhound calls it one of the "15 Best Vegetarian Cookbooks Of 2024,"^[116] and SHE Media lists Anderson as one of "22 Celebrity Moms Whose Cookbooks Will Solve Your Dinner Problems."^[117] During her interview with Anderson for Elle, Martha Stewart stated that I Love You: Recipes From the Heart is "very nicely done," and that Anderson drew from French cuisine "in the most simple, beautiful way." She also told Anderson that her Pierogi recipe "came out beautifully."^[118] Actress and talk show host Drew Barrymore also said that "literally as a cookbook collector" she finds I Love You: Recipes From the Heart to be "the most beautiful cookbook I've ever seen - it is stunning."^[119] In addition, after testing a salad recipe in the book, Jessica Wrubel states in Parade magazine that she is "completely smitten with I Love You as a whole. Pamela's journey into this softer, more personal territory—whether through her recipes or her stories—makes the book feel like an extension of her heart. If you've ever doubted the staying power of Pamela Anderson's influence, let this cookbook—and this salad—prove you wrong."^[120]

Anderson's plant-based cooking show, Pamela's Cooking with Love was greenlit in February 2023.^[121] It debuted on Canada's Flavour Network in late February 2025.^[10]

Personal life

[edit]

Homes and family

[edit]

Anderson has two sons from her first marriage to Tommy Lee, Brandon Thomas (born in 1996)^[122] and Dylan Jagger (born in 1997).^[123] She became a naturalized citizen of the United States in 2004 while retaining her Canadian citizenship.^[124]^[125] After moving to California in 1989, Anderson felt that it was important to become an American citizen in order to vote and one day petition to bring her parents to the U.S. and care for them when they were older.^[126]

Anderson purchased a beach home in Malibu, California for $1.8 million in 2001 and attempted to sell it in 2013 for $7.75 million, but later took it off the market.^[127] She previously lived in a mansion in Cassis, in the commune of Marseille, France.^[128]^[129]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, her childhood home in Canada became her permanent residence,^[113]^[130] and she sold her Malibu home.^[131] As of 2024^[update] she lives with her dogs in Ladysmith on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, and has a vegetable farm, Arcady.^[132]

Marriages

[edit]

Anderson has been married a number of times. She married her first husband, Tommy Lee, drummer of Mötley Crüe, on February 19, 1995, after knowing him for only four days.^[3] They married on a beach, with Anderson in a white bikini and Lee in boardshorts.^[133] Lee was later sentenced to six months in the Los Angeles County Jail for spousal abuse after assaulting Anderson,^[134] and they divorced in 1998.^[135] A long custody dispute over their sons followed, and was finalized when they were granted joint custody in October 2002.^[136] In March 2002, Anderson publicly stated that she had contracted hepatitis C by sharing tattoo needles with Lee, and began writing a regular column for Jane magazine. In October 2003, Anderson jokingly said on Howard Stern's radio show that she did not expect to live more than 10 or 15 years,^[137] but this was taken seriously by many websites and tabloids. By 2015 Anderson had been cured of hepatitis C.^[138]

Anderson later married Kid Rock, but after a miscarriage while in Vancouver shooting a new film, Blonde and Blonder,^[139] Anderson filed for divorce in Los Angeles County Superior Court, citing irreconcilable differences.^[140]

In September 2007, Anderson stated on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that she was engaged, and on September 29, Anderson and Rick Salomon applied for a marriage license in Las Vegas.^[141] On October 6, 2007, Anderson married Salomon in a small wedding ceremony at The Mirage, between her two nightly appearances at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Hans Klok's magic show.^[142] The couple separated on December 13, and on February 22, 2008, Anderson requested through the courts that the marriage be annulled, citing fraud.^[143] In October 2013, Anderson stated on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that she and Salomon were "friends with benefits". In January 2014, she announced that she had remarried Salomon on an unspecified date.^[144] Anderson filed for divorce from Salomon in February 2015.^[145] The divorce was finalized on April 29, 2015.^[146]

She was in a relationship with Adil Rami from 2017 to 2019.^[147]

On December 24, 2020, Anderson married Dan Hayhurst, her bodyguard.^[148] On January 21, 2022, Anderson announced that she had filed for divorce and split with Hayhurst.^[149]

Stolen tape

[edit]

In 1995, personal home videos of Anderson with her then-husband Tommy Lee filmed on a houseboat on Lake Mead were stolen and sold as a sex tape, which resulted in a legal fight and made her the subject of controversy.^[7]^[150] Anderson sued the video distribution company, Internet Entertainment Group, who posted the video on their website ClubLove in November 1997.^[151] Anderson was pregnant during the trial and, fearful of the extreme stress causing harm to her pregnancy, dismissed the case. The company began making the tape available to subscribers to its websites again, resulting in triple the normal traffic on the sites.^[152] In the 2023 Netflix documentary Pamela, a Love Story, Anderson states that there was no confidential agreement over releasing rights to the video, and that she never (by choice) made money from it.^[153]

The story of the tape was later portrayed in the Hulu 2022 miniseries Pam & Tommy. In her 2023 Netflix documentary Pamela, a Love Story, Anderson said that she was not consulted about the production of the series. Critics, journalists, and academics posited that the series was profiting off of Anderson's trauma without her consent, and likely doing further harm to her.^[154]^[155] Pamela, a Love Story verified those claims, in Anderson's own words.^[156] Producers of the series were able to develop the series without her participation, permission, or consent by optioning the rights to an article published by Rolling Stone in 2014.^[157] Some critics felt that this was a similar violation of privacy that mirrored the tape originally being stolen and distributed without Anderson's and Lee's consent.^[158]
