I want people to root for her, and I think she’s a root-able character, and I don’t think we knew that. And I know that that show was very sympathetic to her in a lot of ways, that the takeaway was that people love Pamela, and now people know the tape was stolen at least. I didn’t think I was going to get that with this film, and we totally got this woman, who was 53 when we began shooting, having this moment of crisis of “What’s next in my life?” And that’s totally relatable to anyone at any age. And I think it was therapeutic for her in a lot of ways to talk about a lot of these things. And normally, I would have to screw my way around that question and find a polite way of saying, “No, this person wasn’t very open.” But literally, I asked every question I wanted to, and literally, Pamela answered every question. I thought she was the symbol of American sexuality!” He told me how she was back on a small island where she grew up, that she married a local, and everything that he said was just so surprising. I know a lot of celebrities have causes, but Pamela’s is a lifelong pursuit, and I have talked to many people around her that have confirmed that for me. “But I knew nothing about her background, and a big part of the decision-making process for me was that Pamela had written He said, “What about Pamela Anderson?” And I said, “That is a great documentary. I’m not sure it’s for me.” He told me a little bit about where they were in the process and convinced me to have lunch with her son Brandon Thomas Lee, who was figuring out all of the pieces of this. White says that Anderson, now a 55-year-old single woman and doting mother, was very nonchalant about the prospect of a documentary being made about her. In that first conversation that White had with Anderson over Zoom as she sat in her small farmhouse on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, she told White that she wasn’t desperate to make a documentary and that her sons (both with Lee) were really the ones spearheading this project.

She also speaks in an empowering manner about refusing to suffer abuse at the hands of a partner: The series relived “the worst part of [her] life” and gave her nightmares. Lee was subsequently charged with spousal and child abuse, later telling a journalist: “It’s a lot of pressure. While rocking on the floor he was, according to Anderson, saying “I want my wife back”. “Tommy is a rock star – but I knew at that point, my career was over.” She recalled an incident where the script called for her to share a kiss with co-star David Chokachi. Anderson may exhibit a happy-go-lucky personality in the media, but it often seems at odds with her private persona. Baywatch co-creator Michael Berk also recalled Lee’s jealous behaviour on-set, saying: “He would always know when to show up.

Anderson bought the house clad in wood and glass — not exactly a “cottage” — in 2000 for $1.8 million. “Building my place in the Colony in Malibu literally took years — and everything I had. It was difficult to accept when I later came to terms with that — I realized I was a work in progress and that my past may have had a serious impact on my self-esteem.” The fact that she had posed naked for Playboy was used to argue she had no right to privacy anymore; naked pictures of her were blown up and placed behind the attorneys acting on behalf of the tape’s “evil distributor.” The two were awaiting trial on assault charges when the domestic violence went down at home, so “on probation” might not have been the exact reason he wasn’t allowed to possess a gun. When they asked if there was a gun in the house, I naively said yes, there was a Glock handgun in our bedpost. Lee had urged fans to come onstage, and the 18-year-old guard was trying to hold them back. But why was he on “probation” in the first place? My parents thought she was generous and kind, when really, it was just a way to get them off the scent. “It was hard to believe it was me — yet I was still disappointed, somehow. In my case, it was a young female babysitter who sexualized me very early, forcing me to play weird games on her body, like ‘car.’ She’d bring me used toys — like a life-size Barbie head where I could style the hair and put makeup on the face. “Love, Pamela,” the new book by bombshell-slash-activist Pamela Anderson, covers a lifetime in 230-odd pages.

On top of the upright piano behind her is one of the first paintings she purchased—a stormy landscape in a gilded frame—plus a framed snapshot of her and her golden retriever Zeus in front of the Louvre. She started renovating a house and felt fulfilled in making it “my art project”—designing and decorating her new life. (Anderson says she did not make a cent from the tape, whose release earned the distributors $77 million in less than 12 months and deeply traumatized Anderson.) Yet, just ahead of “I don’t know how they will be received,” she says. (This morning, between an NPR interview and journaling a few pages of her stream of consciousness thoughts, she raked leaves.)

"She's been the embodiment of sexuality for so long, since she became famous in Playboy, and so the story of Pamela's sexuality, her individual sexuality, is such a theme throughout the film because so much of that was robbed from her when she was young. I said, 'I'm not the right filmmaker if you guys want to make a film that's a look back at your life, that's sort of a biography. "I've never been in touch with Tommy, I feel like I know Tommy because I've seen so much footage of him, but we never entertained making a talking head film. He was very supportive of Pamela making this documentary, but he is an ex-husband. Like how truly open could she be to all of that?" "You know, these days we see sex tapes all the time, especially with celebrities, often they are career makers, [but] it was very important to not only inform people but remind people that this was another sexual trauma done to Pamela, this was something stolen from her again. "I think Pamela challenges a lot of our preconceived notions about sexuality and femininity, and pornography, and all of these things. "I think Pamela to a lot of people, to culture, to pop culture, is sex, right?" I hope it's very humanizing for people about Pamela." "But, in a lot of ways, I think that's how she charts her life, she doesn't think in years, she doesn't think chronologically, but she can always say when you're asking her a question like 'oh, I was with Rick [Salomon] at the time, or I was with Bob,' who is Kid Rock, so she almost uses husbands and boyfriends as a way to chart her life. "I think in a lot of ways Pamela charts her life by her partner at the time, because she's always been a serial monogamist, she's almost always been in a relationship in her adulthood up until now, up until the divorce she goes through in the middle of my film, and for the past year she has been single," White said of her honesty. The theft of the tape saw Anderson become the butt of the joke and at the time, it brought back feelings of helplessness and shame that the model had experienced when she was a victim of sexual abuse when she was young, she said in the film.

Pamela Anderson has been making headlines again for revelations in the documentary “Pamela, A Love Story,” coming to Netflix on 31 January.

However, Anderson has long criticised the series, particularly its creators, who she has said did not consult her on the series, calling it "salt on the wound" and "not necessary." The documentary, directed by Ryan White (known for his work on The Keepers, Ask Dr. According to the book's synopsis, "Love, Pamela" will see “the actress, activist, and once infamous Playboy Playmate reclaim the narrative of her life in a memoir that defies expectation in both content and approach, blending searing prose with snippets of original poetry.” She liked me.

“Violence begets violence.” It’s a lesson she never forgot during her own marriages. Many of the international broadcasters would buy only the episodes I appeared in, so there were ‘Pamela clauses’ in the international deals. Anderson is assured of renown thanks to Baywatch, in which she played lifeguard C.J. Thanks to her gymnastics training, she landed a perfect dismount and rolled into a ditch. And when her adored son Brandon turned 18 and was living and working in London, she arranged to get him a membership to the local Playboy Club so he’d have somewhere to go if he needed anything. She tried in vain to rescue her mother, who declined to be saved. I felt I did everything to try to get them to love me, by being accommodating, generous, or by just being the comedian — laughter always being an easy way for me to cut the tension.” She thanks him at the end of the book for being “the catalyst of everything good in my life.” “Soon after, [the babysitter] died in a car accident,” Anderson writes.

Anderson emphasizes in the film that, despite the assumption she made money from the sex tape, neither she nor her ex-husband, Tommy Lee, ever received a dime. In one memorable scene from the documentary, Anderson talks on the phone to her youngest son, Brandon, who tells her he watched the first three episodes, and she’s visibly shaken. “They should have had to have my permission,” Anderson says. “It really gives me nightmares,” Anderson says of the show, in a scene in the documentary that was filmed after the series was announced, but before it was released on Hulu. “It felt like a rape,” Anderson says bluntly in the film.

The 55-year-old Baywatch star is releasing both a memoir and Netflix documentary this week.

"Putin was only in the room once, but he heard of everything. The relationship was platonic, she said. She has said that Playboy founder Hugh Hefner was the only person who treated her with total respect. In one, Anderson says she was molested by a female baby-sitter between the ages of six and 10. LaBatt took notice - quickly tapping Anderson to become a spokesperson, plastering her face on posters and in commercials. Lee later served six months behind bars for kicking Anderson as she held their seven-week-old son, Dylan - violence that pushed her to file for divorce.

In a new documentary and memoir, Anderson asks that we see her fame from her perspective.

Pamela, a Love Story and Anderson’s book arrive in the midst of a boom of celebrity memoirs, scanned for nuggets of gossip that become headlines before the book even hits the shelves. She simply demands that we consider her a person, and not just a punch line. Right at the cusp of her popularity the private sex tape she had made with her then-husband Tommy Lee was stolen from their property and commercialised through the nascent internet. Hers was a hyperfemininity considered both aspirational and fake. [Marilyn Monroe](https://www.newstatesman.com/culture/film/2022/10/blonde-netflix-review-degradation-marilyn-monroe) and Jayne Mansfield.
