Baring all. Pamela Anderson opened up about her childhood, marriages and career in her Netflix documentary, Pamela, A Love Story, and new memoir, Love, Pamela.
The Baywatch alum, 55, announced both projects after the premiere of Hulu’s Pam & Tommy miniseries, which focused on her marriage to Tommy Lee and the 1995 theft of the former couple’s sex tape.
“My life: A thousand imperfections, a million misperceptions,” Anderson said in March 2022 after announcing the film. “Wicked, wild and lost. Nothing to live up to — I can only surprise you. Not a victim, but a survivor. And alive to tell the real story.”
Seven months later, the former Home Improvement star announced her latest book. “It feels like some kind of miracle — to be retracing the painful steps of my youth,” she wrote via Instagram in October 2022. “I repainted scenes in detail if it were my childhood or at the Playboy Mansion. Just one girl’s messy life. … The book is [an] unpolished attempt. I had no cowriter. My life — as a mother, as an activist, and as an actress. I am so proud of this book.”

She wanted to start fresh.”
While promoting her new projects, the Barb Wire actress revealed that she hasn’t watched Pam & Tommy and has no plans to do so in the future. She also noted that she never read a letter sent to her by Lily James, who
