Biography |
Pamela Denise Anderson was born in Ladysmith, British
Columbia, on July 1st, 1967. Literally born into the
spotlight, she was the first baby to be born on Canada's
one-hundredth birthday, earning her the title of "The
Centennial Baby." Her landmark birth was chronicled in the
local newspaper and her parents, Barry and Carol, were
awarded with cash prizes for the birth of little Pamela.

Another incident placed Pamela in the spotlight once again.
She was sitting in a library at a storytelling session, when
a photographer picked her out of a crowd of 100 other
children, and took a photograph of her. The picture drew so
much attention, that it was posted in all the libraries in
British Columbia and became copyrighted.
Surprisingly enough, Pamela's teenage years were as normal
as any other teenager's. She was a regular girl with braces,
who loved volleyball and playing the saxophone.
Interestingly enough, her nickname in high school was
"Rubber Band" because of her flexibility and excellence in
sports. Her yearbook statement the year she graduated from
Highland Secondary School in 1985 read that her aspiration
in life was "To Be a California Beach Bum."
The third incident that Pamela experienced was the one that
ended up being her big break. While attending a professional
football game in Vancouver in 1989, she appeared on the
jumbo screen at the game wearing a Labatt beer T-shirt and
the crowd went wild. She had such an effect on the audience
that Labatt hired her to do commercials. She became the
company's "Blue Zone" girl and her image appeared on the
walls of bars and restaurants all over Canada, on Labatt
posters.

Thanks to the popularity of the campaign, Pamela was
approached to do a cover for Play..boy. Her appearance on
Hef's magazine was the launching pad of her career, and
roles in television soon followed.
She had a small role on the comedy Married... With Children
and played Lisa, the "Tool Time Girl," on Home Improvement.
Her role on Home Improvement led to her red bathing
suit-clad role as lifeguard C.J. Parker on Baywatch. David
Hasselhoff knew that she'd be perfect for the part, the same
way he knew Angie Harmon was the perfect match for her
Baywatch Nights role. Both Pamela and her character shared a
belief in "New Age" thinking, something Pamela inherited
from her Scandinavian grandfather.
During her lifeguard days, Pamela appeared in the following
small-time movies: The Taking of Beverly Hills, Snapdragon,
Raw Justice, and The Evolution of Mr. E. She also had a role
in the television detective series, Mike Hammer.
In 1996, Pamela starred in her first feature film, Barb
Wire, despite her manager's advice to refuse the film role.
She should have taken his advice, since the film bombed at
the box office.

The event in Lee's life that has caused the most hoopla in
the public eye was her spontaneous surprise wedding to
Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee after dating for four days.
Although Pamela avoided him at first, Tommy followed her
down to Cancun, where he eventually won her heart and they
got married on the beach. With the bride in a thong bikini
and the groom in swimming trunks, the couple proved their
love by getting tattoos of each other's names on their body
parts rather than exchanging wedding rings at the "altar."
Pamela and Tommy's marriage has been in the tabloids since
the day they got married, with constant reports of fights
and problems. Pamela (now) Lee's most widely recognized
camera appearance is probably the tape of her and Tommy Lee
engaging in sexual acts. The homemade video was allegedly
stolen from their house in 1995 and can still be viewed on
the Internet. In 1997, one year after the birth of their
first child Brandon, Pamela filed for divorce. It didn't
take long for the Lees to get back together and Dylan, their
second son, was born later that year.
In 1998, the blonde bombshell starred in and produced the
successful syndicated show V.I.P. and when not on the
screen, continued to work as an advocate of animal rights.
pam stars as stripperella
Pamela and super male model Marcus Schenkenberg became an
item after her final split from Tommy Lee. Making her
divorce from Tommy even more official, she dropped "Lee"
from her name in June 2000. In April 2001, she started
seeing the king of trailer trash rock, the cocky Kid Rock.
In early 2002, Pamela announced her involvement in the
animated series Stripperella, a stripper/superhero character
created by Stan Lee of Marvel Comics fame. This was followed
by news that she would accompany her new boyfriend on tour
as an on-stage stripper. All this was put on hold when it
was made public that Pam had been diagnosed with hepatitis
C. She claims that she contracted the potentially fatal
disease by having shared a tattoo needle with Tommy Lee.
pamela anderson's v.i.p. canceled
To add insult to injury, her syndicated TV program, V.I.P.
was canceled after four seasons, in June of 2002. Just two
months prior, she and Kid Rock announced their engagement,
but the wedding, like her professional career, has been
temporarily put on hold as Pam is undergoing treatment for
her illness.
On a brighter note, she has launched a monthly column in the
pages of Jane magazine. The debut of "Pam, Honestly"
appeared in the August 2002 issue. As for the yearlong
custody battle for her sons, it seems that a judge finally
ordered joint custody of the children.
Pamela Anderson has since appeared in 2003's Scary Movie,
and it seems that her on and off romance with Kid Rock is
currently "off." |
