Pamela Anderson Biography

Born July 1st, 1967, Pamela Denise Anderson has become perhaps one of the most recognized faces (and bodies) in the world. Her role in the popular syndicated series Baywatch, redefined how a body conscious society watched television. While Pamela's figure on the show was enhanced by breast implants (which were later said to be removed, though we think they were just resized), her other dimensions where also eye popping. The guru of fashion; Mr. Blackwell, calls Pamela the Marilyn Monroe of our generation, though he also says 'not a talent'. Whatever the case, at least on television, her appearance usually equals success as VIP and Baywatch have proven, though these same fans don't appear to be willing to pay to watch her on the big screen.

In 1985, Anderson graduated from Highland Secondary School. In her high school yearbook, she wrote that she wanted to be a California beach bum. In 1988, Anderson moved to the city of Vancouver, where she got the taste of a city life and worked as a fitness instructor. During the summer of 1989, Anderson and her friends went to a Canadian football game. At some point during the game, Anderson was shown on the stadium screen. The crowd at the game cheered her and loved how beautiful she was. Anderson was taken to the field to get an ovation from the crowd. During the game, Anderson wore a Labatt's t-shirt. The beer company offered Anderson a modeling contract and she agreed. Soon, Anderson was on posters in every bar in Canada. In late 1989, Pamela decided to model for Playboy Magazine. She appeared on the October 1989 cover and decided to move to Los Angeles to continue her modeling career.
