Pamela Denise
Anderson (born July 1, 1967) is a Canadian actress, sex
symbol, glamour model, producer, TV personality, and
author. For a time, she was known as Pamela Anderson Lee
after marrying the drummer for Mötley Crüe, Tommy Lee.
Anderson is popularly known for modeling and television
acting in the 1990s and for her large breast implants.
Early life: Anderson was born in Ladysmith,
British Columbia, 90 km northwest of Victoria, British
Columbia, Canada, of partly Finnish ancestry (her
paternal grandfather, Hermanni Hyytiäinen, from Saarijärvi,
left Finland in 1908). The newborn Anderson won fame as
the nation's "Centennial Baby", as she was
thought, incorrectly, to have been the first baby born
on Canada's Centennial Day (she was born at 4:08 in the
morning). However, the Campbell River Upper Islander of
July 5, 1967 reported a baby born two hours earlier on
the same Canada Day. After her birth, her parents, Barry
and Carol, and her brother, Gerry Anderson, moved to the
town of Comox with Pamela.
Career: After graduating from Highland Secondary
School in 1985, Anderson moved to Vancouver and worked
as a fitness instructor. During the summer of 1989,
Pamela went with her friends to a Canadian football
game; at some point during the game she was shown on the
stadium screen wearing a Labatt's t-shirt, causing the
crowd to cheer for the twenty one year old Anderson. She
was taken down to the field to get an ovation from the
crowd. Labatt's immediately offered Anderson a modeling
contract and she accepted: soon she was on posters in
every bar in Canada. In late 1989, Pamela decided to
model for Playboy magazine: she appeared on the October
1989 cover (credited as Pamela Anderson Ilicic) and
decided to move to Los Angeles to continue her modeling
career.
Acting and modeling: After her move to Los
Angeles, Anderson bleached her brunette hair blonde and
got breast implants. In 1991 she landed a minor role on
the United States's hit television sitcom, Home
Improvement (1991-1997). Having gained viewer attention,
she landed the role of C.J. Parker (1992-1997) on
Baywatch, and left Home Improvement after its second
season. Anderson was still modeling for Outdoor Life and
appearing on the cover of the magazine each year. Her
role as C.J. Parker gave her more popularity and gained
her attention from international viewers. She returned
to Baywatch for the 2003 reunion movie, Baywatch:
Hawaiian Wedding. She also made appearances on The Nanny
as Fran's rival, Heather Biblow.
In 1996, she appeared in a feature film, Barb Wire, as a
character known as Barbara Rose Kopetski, which was
mistakenly thought by some to have been her real name.
The movie failed to achieve commercial success. During
the filming of Barb Wire, Anderson suffered a
miscarriage. In April 1997, she guest-hosted Saturday
Night Live. During the beginning of the show, Anderson
said, "You know, if you're nervous on stage, you
actually should be naked!" She then began a
striptease. Her breasts, however, were covered by a
small flesh-colored bra and a crotch patch that was also
flesh colored (though they were still blurred out for
the sake of the joke). The segment became fodder for
late-night comedians for the following weeks. She also
appeared on one of two covers for the September issue of
Playboy; the other cover pictured Jenny McCarthy.
In September 1998, Anderson starred in her produced
series V.I.P. It was very poorly received and a critical
bomb. However, with many people tuning in just to see
Pamela Anderson, the show lasted four seasons before
being cancelled in 2002. Anderson stated that she needed
to dedicate her time to raising her children, but many
believed that she was retiring.
In March 2001, Christine Evelyn Roth was arrested while
sleeping in a guest room of Anderson's home. She was
only charged with the misdemeanor of trespassing and not
the more serious crime of stalking. Roth pleaded guilty
to the charge of trespassing and was deported to her
home country, France. In 2004, Anderson returned to the
spotlight. In May she appeared naked on the cover of
Playboy magazine. It was the first time she had appeared
naked on any magazine cover. Later, she posed naked for
Stuff and GQ magazines. Many noticed that her breast
size was larger than her pictorials from 2003.
Anderson became a naturalized citizen of the United
States on May 12, 2004, while retaining her Canadian
citizenship, for the purpose of sponsoring her parents
(or at least her mother) for a green card. She has lived
in southern California since 1989.
Anderson has often spoken revealingly about her private
life. On a visit to the David Letterman show in 2004,
she said she had not been dating for some time, and when
Letterman asked her how she was coping, she responded,
"There's not a square corner left anywhere in my
house!" Letterman left that comment unanswered
while the audience hooted.
In 2004, Pamela Anderson released the book Star,
co-written by author Eric Shaw Quinn, in which she
describes a young teenager doing different things in
order to reach fame. After this, she began touring the
United States, signing autographs for fans at Wal-Mart
stores nationwide. Her second book, the sequel Star
Struck, released in 2005, is a thinly veiled look at her
life with Tommy Lee and the travails of celebrity life.
In January 2005, Anderson confessed that she had got new
breast implants, claiming not to feel like herself
without them. Anderson also claimed that the new breast
implants were bigger than her old implants.
In April 2005, Anderson starred in a new FOX sitcom
Stacked as Skyler Dayton, a party girl (with implants)
who goes to work at a bookstore. Stacked was cancelled
on May 18, 2006, after two seasons, although some
episodes had not been aired on the network. She made a
statement in late 2005 saying "I am the greatest
slut...", confirming her openness about sex and her
opinions in free sex. During the summer of 2005, (August
14, 2005) Comedy Central created the Roast of Pamela
Anderson to honor the sex symbol for the past decade.
During her final speech at the Roast, Pamela referred to
her breasts as "Pancho and Lefty".
In December 2005, NBC cut off a video of Anderson pole
dancing topless on Elton John's "The Red
Piano." NBC said that the footage was inappropriate
for primetime. The video was shown on huge screens
during the event, while John was playing a song.
Anderson was topless, but stars were painted on her
breasts. In March 2006, it was announced that Anderson
would receive a star on Canada's Walk of Fame thanks to
her many years as a model and actress. She is only the
second model to receive a star. In April 2006, Anderson
hosted Canada's Juno Awards, becoming the first
non-singer and model to do so.
Anderson was repeatedly referenced in the 2006 comedy
film Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make
Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan as the title
character seeks to kidnap and marry her. Anderson
appears in person at the end of the film confronted by
Borat in a staged botched abduction. She has
subsequently began filming a comedy, Blonde and Blonder.
Personal life: In addition to her fame from
modeling and acting, Anderson has received a great deal
of press attention for her well-publicized personal
life. Her relationships have made headlines in gossip
magazines for years. She married Tommy Lee, drummer of Mötley
Crüe, on February 19, 1995 after knowing him for only
96 hours and the couple eventually had two sons, Brandon
Thomas Lee (b. June 6, 1996) and Dylan Jagger Lee (b.
December 29, 1997). During this time, she was known
professionally as Pamela Anderson Lee. Anderson filed
for divorce from him twice and reconciled with him
twice, before the couple finally broke up for good. On
February 25, 1998, Tommy abused Pamela and then was
arrested. The next day, Pamela filed for divorce from
him. Then, on February 28, 1998, the divorce was
official for only two days of filing for divorce. Tommy
was sentenced for six months in jail. In May 1998, he
had to go to anger management therapy and pay off
Anderson's legal fees. In March 2002, Anderson publicly
stated that she had contracted the Hepatitis C virus
from Lee (supposedly from sharing tattoo needles), and
began writing a regular column for Jane magazine. In
October 2003, Anderson jokingly said on Howard Stern's
radio show that she does not expect to live more than
ten or fifteen years, but this was misconstrued and
taken seriously by many Web sites and tabloids. Tommy
Lee denies having the disease. Today, Anderson and Lee
are just friends. She however admitted to newspapers
that she still often had sex with him since their
divorce.
A pornographic home video of Anderson and Tommy Lee on
their honeymoon was stolen from their home, and made a
huge stir on the Internet. Anderson sued the company,
the Internet Entertainment Group, that was distributing
the video. Ultimately the courts awarded Anderson and
Lee $1.5 million plus attorney fees for their share of
the profits. After, the company sold copies of the
stolen honeymoon tape across the country. It was very
popular.
A second tape, which was made before the Tommy Lee tape,
involving Anderson and musician Bret Michaels from
Poison was later distributed on the Internet. Frames of
the video first appeared in Penthouse magazine in March
1998. The popularity and profitability of the Anderson
and Tommy Lee video sparked a miniature genre within the
porn film industry and since then many homemade porn
videos of celebrities have been released to the public
through home video and Web channels (either with or
without the participants' co-operation).
Since her divorce, she has become engaged to both the
model Marcus Schenkenberg and the singer Kid Rock
(Robert J. Ritchie). She broke up with Schenkenberg in
2001, and broke up with Kid Rock in 2003. It was
announced on July 18, 2006 that she would marry Kid Rock
on July 29, 2006 on a yacht near St. Tropez, France.
"Feels like I've been stuck in a time warp,"
said Anderson in her blog entry. "Not able to let
go of MY family picture ... it's been sad and lonely and
frustrating ... I've raised my kids alone in hope of a
miracle. Well my miracle came and went. And came back
and back because he knew that I'd wake up one day and
realize that I was waiting for nothing." "I'm
moving on," she declared. "I feel like I'm
finally free ... I'm in love." There was extensive
unconfirmed media speculation that the marriage is
pregnancy-related, but the theory was based only on
Anderson's representatives refusal to comment on the
question.
She put her Malibu, California, home up for sale in
order to move to a more private location. In an
interview with Gavriel Maynard, Anderson stated "I
don't know why people consider me stupid, I'm actually
really smart."
On November 10, 2006, it was announced that Anderson
miscarried while in Vancouver shooting a new film,
Blonde and Blonder. Seventeen days later, on November
27, 2006 Anderson filed for divorce in Los Angeles
County Superior Court from Kid Rock, citing
irreconcilable differences. Some news reports have
suggested that Kid Rock's outrage during a screening of
Borat, in which she plays a cameo role, led to the
filing for divorce two weeks later.
Charitable work and activism: Anderson is a
vegetarian, an advocate for animal rights, and an active
member of the animal protection organization People for
the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), taking part in
several campaigns for animal rights. She became a
vegetarian in her early teens when she walked in on her
dad slaughtering an animal he had just hunted.
One of Anderson's campaigns as a member of PETA has been
against the use of fur. In 1999, Anderson received the
first Linda McCartney Memorial Award for animal rights
protectors, in recognition of her campaign against fur.
In 2003, Anderson stripped down for PETA's "I'd
Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" advertising
campaign. On June 28, 2006, Anderson posed naked with
other protesters on a window display of the Stella
McCartney boutique in London, England. It was a PETA
gala event before the PETA Humanitarian Awards. Anderson
went inside the boutique and said she would take her
clothes off if the event raised enough money for PETA,
which it did. She took off her clothes and went to stand
on a pedestal at the window display. Anderson covered
her breasts. They wore a banner that read: "We had
rather bare skin than wear skin." The event sparked
a media frenzy in London.
She has also actively campaigned against Kentucky Fried
Chicken. In 2001, Anderson released a letter in support
of PETA's campaign against Kentucky Fried Chicken,
stating "What KFC does to 750 million chickens each
year is not civilized or acceptable." She later
made a video about KFC's treatment of chickens. In
January 2006, Anderson requested that the Governor of
Kentucky remove a bust of Colonel Sanders, the founder
of KFC, from display but her request was refused even
when she offered her own bust in exchange. In February
2006, Anderson decided to boycott the Kentucky Derby
because of its support for Kentucky Fried Chicken.
She has also campaigned against seal hunting in her
native Canada. In March 2006, Anderson asked to speak to
Prime Minister Stephen Harper about the annual seal
hunt. Her request was refused. In May 2006 she
petitioned random individuals on the street for their
opinion on the Canadian Seal Hunt.
Most recently Pam has joined forces with PETA in a
campaign calling for the boycott of fruit juice maker
POM. The "Pom Horrible Campaign" has resulted
in response to the company's refusal to halt animal
tests.
In March 2005, Anderson became a spokesmodel for MAC
Cosmetics's MAC AIDS Fund, which helped people affected
by AIDS and HIV. After becoming the official
spokesmodel, Anderson raised money during events in
Toronto, Tokyo, Dublin and Athens. Anderson became the
celebrity spokesperson for the American Liver
Foundation, and served as the Grand Marshal of the SOS
motorcycle ride fundraiser.
