Pamela Anderson

Pamela Anderson (born July 1, 1967, in Ladysmith, B.C.) has been Golden Globes-nominated for her performance in the Gia Coppola-directed “The Last Showgirl” (2024), which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival. At the Zurich Film Festival, Anderson received the Golden Eye Award.

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. It led an  appearance in a Labatt’s commercial, and subsequently her career in Hollywood.

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 had a recurring role on the ABC series “Home Improvement” and she shot to global fame via her work on the television series “Baywatch.” That became the most-watched series in the world, with over 1.1 billion viewers weekly, and Anderson became the highest paid actress on television. International distributors enacted “Pamela clauses” in their contracts, agreeing to purchase only episodes she was in.

 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.

On the big screen, Anderson has appeared in several films including the 1996 feature “Barb Wire,” based on the Dark Horse Comics character.

In 2023, Anderson released her memoir “Love, Pamela” and starred in the Emmy-nominated Netflix documentary produced by her son Brandon Thomas Lee, “Pamela, A Love Story,” both of which gave an intimate glimpse into her journey.

In October 2024, Anderson released her first cookbook, “I Love You: Recipes from the Heart.”

Anderson will appear opposite Liam Neeson in the 2025 “Naked Gun” reboot.
