Pamela Anderson has solidified her status as a cultural icon, consistently captivating audiences with her evolving and entertaining career. She received rave reviews for her starring role in "The Last Showgirl," which premiered at the 2024 Toronto Film Festival and was also screened at the San Sebastian and Zurich Film Festivals, where she received the Golden Eye Award.
Anderson will appear in the upcoming "Naked Gun" film for Paramount Pictures, opposite Liam Neeson, and in "Rosebush Pruning" and "Place To Be," opposite notable actors such as Riley Keough, Callum Turner, Lukas Gage, Tracy Letts, Elle Fanning, Ellen Burstyn, and Taika Waititi.
Among her recent acting work, Anderson made her Broadway debut in 2022 as Roxy Hart in "Chicago," earning critical acclaim and a Playbill Award. This marked a moment of reinvention and a new direction in her career, as she was offered the role by producers Rob Marshall and Barry Weissler due to her stint on "Dancing with the Stars."
Anderson is also well known for her role on the hit television series "Baywatch," which became the most-watched series in the world with over 1.1 billion viewers weekly, and made her the highest paid actress on television. Her popularity led to international distributors of the series enacting "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" and later starred in the series "VIP," which she co-created with J.F. Lawton, followed by the Fox sitcom "Stacked" from Steven Levitan, in which she starred opposite Christopher Lloyd and Marissa Jaret Winokur. On the big screen, Anderson has appeared in notable roles in several films, including as the star of the 1996 feature "Barb Wire," based on the Dark Horse Comics character.
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. She is also a self-taught home cook and sourdough baker, and released her first cookbook, "I Love You: Recipes from the Heart," which became a New York Times bestseller.
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. This led to an offer to appear in a Labatt's commercial, and subsequently her career in Hollywood.
