Pamela Anderson

Actress Pamela Anderson has cemented her status as a cultural icon, captivating audiences with a career that consistently evolves, surprising and entertaining audiences. Anderson received rave reviews as the star and title character in the Gia Coppola-directed The Last Showgirl. The feature premiered at the 2024 Toronto Film Festival and was one of the most talked about at the festival. The film will also screen at the prestigious San Sebastian and Zurich Film Festivals, the latter at which Anderson will receive the Golden Eye Award. In theaters July 2025, Anderson will appear opposite Liam Neeson in the upcoming Naked Gun film for Paramount Pictures.

Among her other recent acting work, Anderson made her Broadway debut in 2022 as Roxy Hart in Chicago, for which she received critical acclaim across the board and a Playbill award. Anderson’s starring in the musical served as a moment of reinvention and a new direction in her career. The role was offered to her by producers Rob Marshall and Barry Weissler, who had their eye on Anderson due to her stint on Dancing with the Stars.

Anderson is well known for her role on the blockbuster television series Baywatch. Upon her joining the show, Baywatch became the most-watched series in the world with over 1.1 billion viewers weekly, and Anderson became the highest paid actress on television. Due to Anderson’s popularity, international distributors of the series enacted “Pamela clauses” in their contracts, agreeing to purchase only episodes she was in.

Prior to Baywatch, Anderson co-starred on the hit ABC series Home Improvement. She later starred in the series VIP, which she co-created with J.F. Lawton, followed by the Fox sitcom Stacked from Steven Levitan (Modern Family), in which Anderson starred opposite Christopher Lloyd and Marissa Jaret Winokur.

In 2023, Anderson released her New York Times bestselling memoir Love, Pamela and starred in the Emmy-nominated Netflix documentary Pamela, A Love Story, both of which gave an intimate glimpse into her journey. This October, Anderson will release her first cookbook, I Love You: Recipes from the Heart.

Born and raised in Ladysmith, Canada, Anderson was discovered while attending a Lions football game in Canada when she appeared on the jumbotron wearing a Labatt’s Beer t-shirt, a shirt she wore to obtain free game tickets. It led to an offer to appear in a Labatt’s commercial, and subsequently her career in Hollywood.
