Pamela Denise Anderson is a Canadian-American actress, model, and media personality, born on July 1, 1967. She first gained widespread attention as Playboy’s Playmate of the Month in February 1990 and later broke records for appearing on the magazine’s cover more than anyone else. Anderson transitioned into acting with her role on the sitcom Home Improvement (1991–1993, 1997), but it was her portrayal of “C.J.” Parker on the international hit series Baywatch (1992–1997) that cemented her reputation as a global sex symbol.

In 1995, Anderson became embroiled in controversy when a private home video of her and then-husband Tommy Lee was stolen and circulated, sparking a major legal battle and media frenzy. She continued to build her acting career with lead roles in the action series V.I.P. (1998–2002) and the sitcom Stacked (2005–2006). Her film credits include Barb Wire (1996), Scary Movie 3 (2003), Borat (2006), Baywatch (2017), and City Hunter (2018). Anderson also explored reality television with her own show Pam: Girl on the Loose (2008) and made multiple appearances on Dancing with the Stars from 2010 to 2018.

In the 2020s, Anderson experienced a career resurgence, starting with her Broadway debut as Roxie Hart in Chicago in 2022, earning praise for her performance. This was followed by the release of the Netflix documentary Pamela, a Love Story and her memoir Love, Pamela in 2023. In 2024, her starring role in the indie drama The Last Showgirl brought her critical acclaim, culminating in Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award nominations for Best Actress, marking a new chapter in her dynamic career.
