Pamela Denise Anderson (born July 1, 1967)[2][3][4] is a Canadian-American actress, model and media personality. She rose to prominence after being selected as the February 1990 Playboy Playmate of the Month. She went on to obtain the record for the most Playboy cover appearances.[5] Anderson began her acting career on the ABC sitcom Home Improvement (1991–1993, 1997), before receiving international recognition for starring as "C.J." Parker in the drama series Baywatch (1992–1997), which cemented her status as a sex symbol.[6] In 1995, home videos of Anderson with her then-husband, Tommy Lee, were stolen, spliced together,[7] and sold as a sex tape, which resulted in a legal fight and made her the subject of controversy.[8]
Anderson starred as Vallery Irons in the syndicated series V.I.P. (1998–2002) and as Skyler Dayton in the Fox sitcom Stacked (2005–2006). Her film credits include Barb Wire (1996), Scary Movie 3 (2003), Borat (2006), Baywatch (2017), and City Hunter (2018). She starred in the reality series Pam: Girl on the Loose (2008) and appeared as a contestant on the Dancing with the Stars franchise (2010–2012, 2018). She saw a career resurgence in the 2020s after her Broadway debut as Roxie Hart in the musical Chicago (2022) and the 2023 releases of the Netflix documentary Pamela, a Love Story and her autobiography, Love, Pamela. For starring in the independent drama film The Last Showgirl (2024), she received nominations for the Golden Globe Award and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Actress. She then starred in the comedy film The Naked Gun (2025).
Anderson has supported various charitable causes, particularly animal rights and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA),[9] and endorses plant-based cooking. She hosts Flavour Network's plant-based cooking show Pamela's Cooking with Love (2025–present),[10] and released a plant-based cookbook I Love You: Recipes from the Heart, which was nominated for a 2025 James Beard Award, for the work of her photographer, Ditte Isager.[11]
