Biography

Pamela Denise Anderson was born July 1, 196,7 in Ladysmith, British Columbia, Canada. Shortly after she was born, her parents, a furnace repairman and a waitress, moved to Comox, British Columbia, about 285 miles north of Vancouver. It was there one day in a library that Pamela's modeling career would start. Pamela was sitting listening to a story with a group of other children when a photographer captured a picture of her that won the hearts of all that viewed it. It was quickly copyrighted and placed in all the libraries in British Columbia.

Pamela's teen years weren't anything out of the ordinary, she had braces and she was small chested. She excelled in virtually every sport she played, earning the nick-name "Rubber-Band" for her flexibility. Upon graduating from Highland Secondary School in 1985, her yearbook entry stated that her aspiration in life was "To be a California Beach Bum". Pamela moved to Vancouver when she was 21, to get a taste of the big city and get on with her life. She was working as a fitness instructor when her direction in life changed.

It was the summer of 1989 when close friends of Pamela invited her to go to a Canadian Football League game with them. One of her friends was a representative for Labatt's breweries. A cameraman was roaming the crowd looking for someone to put up on the big screen, when he found Pamela. When he put her bright smiling face up on the screen, the place erupted! Labatt's noticed the response this woman generated, and the fact that she was wearing a Labatt's T- shirt her friend had given her. Labatt's offered Pam a job modeling as the "Blue Girl" for their products, and Pamela's posters were all over walls in bars and restaurants in Canada.

Ken Honey, a freelance photographer, took a few pictures of Pamela and talked her into submitting them to Playboy. Playboy seized the opportunity, and Pamela was off to Los Angeles to do the cover for their October '89 issue. The Playboy spread launched Pamela's career, yielding small parts on various TV shows. Then, in 1991, stared in the role of "Lisa", the "Tool-Time-Girl" on ABC Television's "Home Improvement". David Hasslehoff was a fan of the show and when he saw Pamela in the role of "Lisa", he knew he'd found a new lifeguard for his new series "Baywatch". C.J. Parker, Pamela's character name on Baywatch, was born. Pamela immediately jumped at the opportunity of Baywatch and she says that the character of C.J. and herself are very similar. Pamela's grandfather Herman, a native of Finland taught Pamela to believe in "New Age Thinking", crystals, meditation and dream interpretation. Pamela's character C.J. on Baywatch, portrays many of the same views.

Pamela has starred in several other roles outside of Baywatch, including an uncredited role in the 1992 flop, "The Taking of Beverly Hills". After that, she went on to star as "Felicity" in the thriller "Snapdragon". This one is highly recommended if you're a Pam fanatic. In 1994, she played the part of "Sarah" in the HBO movie "Raw Justice" with David Keith. Mickey Spillane's detective series, "Mike Hammer" came calling later that year and Pamela found herself playing the very beautiful "Velda". In 1995, Pamela played a quirky artist in the TV movie, "The Evolution of Mr. E.", adapted from the H.G. Wells book of the same name.

On New Year's Eve in 1994, Pamela was attending a party in New York, where she met Motley Crue drummer, Tommy Lee. He came right up to her and licked her face! They talked off and on, and after he begged her several times for her phone number, she finally gave in and let him have it. Tommy called Pamela over and over again for the next few weeks trying to arrange a date and in the first week of February 1995, he succeeded, only to be canceled on at the last moment. Pam had been called away to Cancun, Mexico to do a photo shoot for her sun-tan lotion product line.

Tommy determined to win over Pamela at any cost, and followed her to Cancun. After four days of courting and endless parties, the two were married on a beach. Pamela wearing a white bikini and Tommy wearing a set of shorts. After returning to L.A., they had wedding rings tattooed on their fingers inscribed with each others name.

Going against the advice of Nick Stevens, her personal manager, Pamela accepted the role to play futuristic bounty hunter "Barb Wire" for Dark Horse Comics and Gramercy Pictures. He thought it would be a tremendous mistake, but Pamela thought otherwise.

In May 1996, "Barb Wire" opened, with the soundtrack featuring a song Tommy wrote called "Planet Boom". While filming "Barb Wire", Pamela suffered a miscarriage, both Pam and Tommy were devastated. There wasn't really anyone or anything to blame other than the fact that Pamela, being the hard worker that she is, was simply overworked. Stress played it's toll on Pamela, filming Baywatch ten hours in the sun, and then filming some more at the set of "Barb Wire". Pamela has gone on to star in her own series, "V.I.P.", have a baby, have more tattoos, breast augmentations, and has now become one of the most photographed and widely admired women in the World.

2003 Scary Movie 3


While star Anna Faris returns for the third film in the Scary Movie series, the power behind the camera has shifted from the Wayans brothers to one of the Zucker brothers. The Zucker in question is David Zucker, and he's brought along his partner in movie-parody crime, Leslie Nielsen. This time around, aim is taken at such horror blockbusters as Signs and The Ring, while films of other genres, including Independence Day, 8 Mile, and The Matrix, are also lampooned. The plot finds Cindy (Faris) trying to help the president (Nielsen) thwart an alien attack while also facing crop circles and a mysterious video tape. In the spirit of the two Matrix sequels, Scary Movie 3 was shot back-to-back with Scary Movie 4. Queen Latifah, Charlie Sheen, and Eddie Griffin also star. Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide

2003 Baywatch Hawaiian Wedding

Fans of the old Baywatch TV series take heart. Despite all evidence to the contrary, legendary lifeguard Mitch Buchannon (David Hasselhoff) was not killed in that explosion during the series' final season. Instead, he has been suffering from amnesia for the past three years, and has now re-emerged from the shadows with a stunning new fiancée in tow. The lovely Allison bears an astonishing resemblance to Mitch's long-dead sweetheart, policewoman Stephanie Holden -- as well she may, since Allison is also played by the series' Alexandra Paul. Virtually all of the old Baywatch regulars gather together for the lavish wedding of Mitch and Shannon in Hawaii, little suspecting that Allison is actually in league with an old enemy of Mitch's who has set his cold, black heart on a horrible revenge. Is there anyone in the wedding party who will step up and rescue Mitch from certain doom? Perhaps his ex-wife Neely Capshaw (Gena Lee Nolin), or the still beautiful, incredibly pneumatic Casey Jean Parker (who else but Pamela Anderson)? The sort of TV-movie fare for which sweeps weeks were invented, Baywatch Hawaiian Wedding made its Fox network debut February 28, 2003. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

2003 Stripperella [Animated Series]

One of three TV14-rated animated series debuting June 26, 2003, on the Spike TV cable channel (the others were Gary the Rat and Ren and Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon), Stripperella was developed (in every sense of the word) by comic book entrepreneur Stan Lee -- though in a reversal of the usual procedure, the TV show came before the comic book, rather than afterward. Well-endowed actress Pamela Anderson (Baywatch, V.I.P.) provided the voice for the title character, a sexy super-heroine whose alter ego was stripteaser Erotica Jones. Working for the top secret organization THUG, Stripperella could float from one crime-busting assignment to another through the aid of her enchanted blonde hair. Her crime fighting equipment included a lie detector hidden in her bra, and a digital computer embedded in her tongue. Each of Stripperella's half-hour adventures was chock full of sexual innuendo...some unsubtle, some really unsubtle. Numbering among the villains were the likes of demented plastic surgeon Dr. Cesarian and bitchy fashion designer Pushy Galore. Co-created by Kevin Kopelow and Heath Seifert, who in their kiddie show days had been responsible for the live action comedy series All That, Stripperella was seen in late prime time, ostensibly out of the viewing range of the small children for whom the show was most emphatically not intended!

1996 Barb Wire




Barb Wire Summary:
Set in the year 2017, Barb Wire takes place after democracy has fallen and a fascist military junta has taken over the U.S. government, plotting to wipe out the country with Red Ribbon, a laboratory-manufactured disease derived from the AIDS virus. The entire test city of Topeka has been annihilated, and only the small bastion of Steel Harbor remains the last free zone in the country, conveniently the home of the title heroine Pamela Lee. Barb, a leather-clad, silicon-stretched motorcycle mama, happens to carry antibodies for Red Ribbon in her DNA, thus making her an enemy of the state. She sets out to defend freedom and take down the evil government by posing as a stripper and seducing foolish male adversaries with her well-displayed assets. The plot thickens as she happens upon her freedom-fighter ex-lover and his wife (much in the vein of Casablanca). Jeremy Beday, All Movie Guide

After being ambushed and nearly killed, Mace and Mitch are joined by Sarah (Pamela Anderson), a hooker who witnessed the attack. As the three of them try to stay alive, they uncover a political conspiracy involving the deputy mayor (Stacy Keach) and the corrupt police force that Mace once quit in disgust, led by a crooked detective (Leo Rossi).

Although the connection to Peg's case seems obvious, Felicity doesn't fit the psychological profile, and her bombshell beauty is having an intoxicating effect on David. Snapdragon (1993) was co-written by actress Terri Treas of the Alien Nation TV series and telefilms. Karl Williams, All Movie Guide
