Biography

Pamela Denise Anderson (born July 1, 1967) is a Canadian-American actress, model and media personality. She came to public prominence after being selected as the Playboy's Playmate of the Month February 1990. She went on to make regular appearances on the magazine's cover, and holds the record for appearing on the most Playboy covers of any individual. Anderson became known to a wider audience with her role on the ABC sitcom Home Improvement, before gaining international recognition for her starring role on Baywatch, which further cemented her status as a sex symbol. In 1995, home videos of Anderson with her then-husband, Tommy Lee, were stolen, spliced together, and sold as a sex tape, which resulted in a legal fight and made her the subject of controversy. Anderson starred as Vallery Irons on VIP and Skyler Dayton on Stacked. Her film credits include Barb Wire, Scary Movie 3, Borat, Baywatch, and City Hunter. She starred in the reality series Pam: Girl on the Loose and appeared as a contestant on Dancing with the Stars. She saw a career resurgence in the 2020s after her Broadway debut as Roxie Hart in the musical Chicago, the release of the documentary Pamela, a Love Story and her autobiography Love, Pamela. For starring in The Last Showgirl, she received nominations for the Golden Globe Award and the Screen Actors Guild Award. In 2025, she starred in The Naked Gun. Anderson has supported various charitable causes, particularly animal rights and endorses plant-based cooking. She released the plant-based cookbook I Love You: Recipes from the Heart and has hosted the plant-based cooking show Pamela's Cooking with Love.
