Pamela Anderson is an actress, media personality, model, and author. She is best known for appearing on Baywatch. She rose to prominence after she was selected as the February 1990 Playboy Playmate of the Month and would make regular appearances on the cover of the magazine, holding the record for most Playboy covers by any individual.

In 1989, she went to a BC Lions Canadian Football League game at the BC Place Stadium in Vancouver, where she was featured on the jumbotron as she was wearing a Labatt’s Beer T-shirt. She was hired by the brewing company for a short time as their spokesmodel. Dan Ilicic, her boyfriend at the time, made a poster of her image, called the “Blue Zone Girl”.

She was then flown to Los Angeles for a photo shoot, appearing as the cover girl on Playboy’s October of 1989 issue. She settled in LA in order to pursue her modeling career.

She rose to prominence playing CJ Parker on Baywatch, a role that she played for 5 seasons, from 1992 until 1997, which makes her one of the longest serving cast members.

Pamela is also known for her activism, having publicly supported numerous charitable causes and matters, especially PETA and animal rights activities.

Love, Pamela: A Memoir of Prose, Poetry, and Truth is an honest, unforgettable, and layered book which alternates between her own poetry and storytelling, she breaks the mold of the celebrity memoir as she takes back the story that has been crafted about her.

Pam’s blonde bombshell image was ubiquitous back in the 1990s. She was discovered in the stands of a football game, and was immediately rocketed into fame, becoming Playboy’s favorite cover girl and this emblem of Hollywood sexuality and glamour. However what happens once you lose the grip on your own life, and the image that the notoriety machine creates for you isn’t who you truly are?

Growing up as the daughter of unprepared, young, and wild parents, her childhood wasn’t easy, however it allowed her to create a world of her own, surrounded by imaginary friends and nature. Once she overcame her deep shyness and grew into herself, she fell into this life on the beaches of Malibu, magazine covers, movie and talk show sets, rock stars’ arms, and the coveted scene at the Playboy Mansion.

Fighting back with this sense of grace, with a love of literature and art fueling it, and driven by this devotion to her kids and the causes that she cares about the most, she now has gone back to Vancouver Island, where she grew up, after this memorable run starring as Roxie in Chicago on Broadway, reclaiming her free spirit however also standing firm as a creative, strong, and confident woman.
