Not only is Pamela Anderson bold, beautiful, voluptuous, and drop-dead sexy, she is also an extremely smart, accomplished actress, model, producer, and author. We can't help but admire her attitude and her gorgeous body in every picture we see of her.

Pamela starred as C.J. Parker in the most widely syndicated show of all time, Baywatch. She went on to star in blockbuster movies -- and a world-famous home video tape.

She's also a mother of two boys.

biography

Pamela Denise Anderson was born in Ladysmith, British Columbia, on July 1, 1967. Literally born into the spotlight, she was the first baby to be born on Canada's100th 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.

In the summer of 1989, Pam was spotted on the jumbo screen of a CFL game wearing a Labatt 's T-shirt, and the crowd went wild for her. They immediately offered her a modeling contract. Thanks to the popularity of a Labatt beer campaign in Vancouver, Canada, Pamela was approached to do a cover for Playboy. 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.

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 Pamela Anderson'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 him for four days. Pamela'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, Pamela starred in and produced the successful syndicated show V.I.P.

Pamela and 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 Pamela had been diagnosed with hepatitis C. She claims that she contracted the potentially fatal disease by having shared a tattoo needle with Tommy Lee.

She continued being productive and launched a monthly column in the pages of Jane magazine. The debut of "Pam, Honestly" appeared in the August 2002 issue.

She also cowrote a book with Eric Shaw Quin called Star in 2004. She wrote and published her second book, Star Struck, in 2005. It gave a "veiled" look at her life as a celebrity and as wife to Tommy Lee.

Pamela made a cameo appearance alongside Sacha Baron Cohen in Borat: Cultural Learnings from America for make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan later that year.

In November 2006, she filed for divorce from Kid Rock after he verbally abused her, rudely making fun of her appearance in Borat. In 2007, she starred in the comedy Blonde and Blonder alongside Denise Richards and Emmanuelle Vaugier.

What else do you need to know?

overall rating	83

While talent, natural beauty and professional achievements do come into play in our rating system, Pamela Anderson's physical accomplishments and charity pursuits have pushed her score way up. The notorious video of her and Tommy Lee is required viewing in order to really get a feel for her natural abilities.

Pamela has gone from pinup girl to actress to uber-celebrity mostly based on her phenomenal looks. She has a huge cult following all around the world, comprised mainly of men of all ages who can't get enough of this blonde bombshell. She experienced a rough couple of years, with custody battles over her two sons and her diagnosis of hepatitis C, but her troubles never stopped her from working hard, as she cowrote and published two books, Star in 2004 and StarStruck in 2005, and she starred in the comedy Blonde and Blonder with Denise Richards in 2007.

She was also added to the Planet Hollywood Hotel & Casino's Hans Klok magic show. We wonder what other tricks she has up her sleeve.  

 

personality & talent	84

Pamela is a fun girl. Then again, any girl who has been on Baywatch seems like loads of fun to us. And she's into wild guys; Tommy Lee and Kid Rock are both known for their crazy attitudes. And she married Rick Salomon -- of One Night in Paris fame -- on October 6, 2007.

Pamela Anderson is also into the "laid-back" way of thinking. Coupled with a teenage desire to be a California beach bum, she's living her life pretty much the way she envisioned it. Now, if we can only let her know that we share the same vision of life, maybe we could appear with her in an upcoming video project.

Pam may not be the most celebrated of thespians, but she can hold her own in the roles she has taken. She has improved as an actress over time, and she showed us her brain power as an author of two books and as a columnist for Jane magazine.

She also scores high in the personality rating because of her charity work with PETA and the MAC cosmetics' AIDS fund. She also became the celebrity spokesperson for the American Liver Foundation.

sexiness	90

Pamela is the epitome of sexiness. As a world-famous sex symbol, she sets the standard for the "blonde bombshell." We could point out specific moments when Pamela has been particularly sexy (i.e. running down the beach in that fire engine red bathing suit in slow motion as C.J. Parker on Baywatch), but we'd run out of space for describing other aspects of her being. Check out anything she has appeared in if there's any doubt.

accomplishments & fame	85

Pamela Anderson may not have won any major acting awards or broken any box-office records, but she hasn't needed to do much except just be Pamela in order to gain recognition, and that's a rarity. Pamela entered the world under the spotlight as Canada's Centennial Baby and was discovered sitting among a crowd at a Canadian football game.

She has appeared on the cover of Playboy more times than any other woman. Her sudden marriage to rocker Tommy Lee thrust her even further into the spotlight. Their famous stolen sex video ensured the couple's notoriety around the world when it appeared on the internet. Her split with Tommy and subsequent involvement with Kid Rock kept Pamela in the spotlight, just where we like her.

As for film roles, she made her big-screen debut in 1996's bomb Barb Wire, and has since appeared in 2003's Scary Movie, made a cameo in Sacha Baron Cohen's Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006) and Blonde and Blonder (2007) alongside Denise Richards.

natural beauty	75

While parts of Pamela's beauty may not be 100% natural, she is one dynamite-looking lady. She has an extremely beautiful face -- we love those sultry lips and incredible eyes. But, she is definitely not natural, so she has to lose points here.

personal style	80

We love the way she dresses, even if critics don't. Tight, slinky dresses, low-cut tops, short skirts, and hot pants. Hey, what do you expect from a former Baywatch babe and a Playboy cover girl? If you've got it, flaunt it, honey.



To inform Pamela that we are on call 24/7 for any type of home video project she may have in mind.
