Early-life:
Pamela Denise Anderson was born in Ladysmith, British Columbia, Canada on July 1st, 1967. She was brought up in Vancouver and graduated from school in 1985. While at a football game, she was caught on camera and her image transmitted to thousands of fans. Because she was wearing a T-shirt advertising a beer company, Pamela landed a lucrative contract on the spot. Other commercials and modelling assignments followed.
Career:
Pamela went on to appear on a number of Playboy covers, more than any other woman in the magazine's history. Her successful photo shoots prompted her to move to Los Angeles to take advantage of further opportunities. A role in Tim Allen's sitcom Home Improvement led to the hugely successful Baywatch, which began in 1989. She's hardly been out of the limelight since. In 1996, she made comic-book movie adventure Barb Wire - a critically mauled reworking of Casablanca. Pamela has also had the lead role in TV series VIP. Other projects include TV movie Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding, Scary Movie 3, animated show Stripperella, Superhero Movie and Stacked. She made a brief appearance on Celebrity Big Brother in 2011.

'I don't really think about anything too much. I live in the present. I move on. I don't think about what happened yesterday. If I think too much, it kind of freaks me out...'
Trivia:
In 2010, she appeared as a contestant on Dancing with the Stars, finishing sixth of 11.
