It was 1989. a year earlier she had moved to Vancouver where she worked as a fitness instructor. One day, she and her friends went to a BC Lions Canadian Football League game at BC Place Stadium. The attractive blonde attracted the attention of the operator who showed her on the big screen. The audience reacted more than spontaneously. It just so happened that Anderson was wearing a T-shirt with the Canadian beer logo on it. Soon after, the brewery offered her a part in an advertising campaign.
Pamela Anderson’s career began by accident
In October 1989, Pamela Anderson became the cover girl of “Playboy” and then moved to Los Angeles. In February, she was named playmate of the month, and as part of her strategic modeling career planning, she opted for breast implant surgery. However, posing for photos alone did not satisfy her professional ambitions.
Hollywood and television quickly discovered her potential. Her first role was in the sitcom “Mr. Golden Hand” – she played Lisa, an assistant in the main character’s DIY program “Tool Time”. The show gave Anderson quite a bit of recognition, but after two seasons she decided to quit her job and find something else. So in 1992 she joined the cast of “Baywatch”, which in the 90s was one of the most popular series in the world. There, she played the lifeguard CJ Parker, and millions of viewers are well-known for this role, although it has been 30 years since her debut.
Pamela Anderson was the viewers’ favorite, but also aroused great interest in the press, especially the tabloids. Because her private life was also rich in unforeseen turbulence. In 1995, Pamela Anderson met Tommy Lee – the drummer of the glam metal band Mötley Crüe. They got married less than four days later in a romantic setting on the beach.
Their feast was passionate, and they made a sex tape during their honeymoon. This one was supposed to be an intimate memento of the couple, but soon after it was stolen from their home. One of the theories about the thief’s identity points to former porn star Rand Gauthier, who was supposed to find her while visiting their home. The video went viral and went viral.
After the leak of the tape of Pamela and Tommy’s intimate dalliances, a lawsuit ensued, which Anderson brought against the distributor Internet Entertainment Group. With the settlement, the company began making the sex tape available to its subscribers again, which resulted in a threefold increase in traffic to its websites.
Pamela Anderson was married to Tommy Lee for three years. The couple had two sons but divorced in 1998. The Mötley Crüe drummer was jailed for six months for domestic violence after allegedly kicking his wife while she was holding their son. When he left, he got back together with Pamela. The final parting took place only in 2001.
“Pamela, a love story”. Netflix will show a documentary about the life of Pamela Anderson
In addition to acting on television, Anderson has also developed a career as a film producer over the years. She is also known for her strong involvement in the fight for animal rights. Although the actress herself, thanks to her image of a sporty blonde, is the quintessence of the aesthetic ideals of American pop culture, it is worth emphasizing that she is of Canadian descent. Basically Canadian with Finnish, Russian and English roots.
Her life is actually a ready-made script for a film, after all, the series “Pam & Tommy” was recently created about the high-profile scandal with tapes, which Polish viewers can watch on +. And soon we will be able to hear what the actress personally decided to tell about her life. A documentary film was made about her, which will be available on Netflix at the end of January.
“With the help of personal videos and diaries, Pamela Anderson tells the story of her rise to stardom, tumultuous romances and sex tape scandal,” announces the documentary “Pamela, a love story” itself. The production will premiere on January 31 at 9 am.
“My life, thousands of imperfections, millions of misunderstandings. Playful, crazy and confused, full of surprises. I can only surprise you. I am not a victim, I survived to tell a true story,” the actress herself wrote in a note announcing the production.
It is worth noting that the actress’s eldest son, Brandon Thomas Lee, worked on the documentary as a producer. Ryan White (“Questions about sex”, “The Keepers”) was in charge of directing and, as the creators assure, the work on the film lasted for several years.
