Pamela Denise Anderson was born at 4:08am, July 1,
1967 in Ladysmith, British Columbia, Canada. 1967 was
Canada's centennial year and Pamela was the first baby
born this day in all of Canada earning her the title
"The Centennial Baby". This earned her an
article in the local newspaper, the Ladysmith-Chemainus
Chronicle. The Anderson's recieved cash prizes and awards
for having the first baby born in Canada on this day,
Canada's 100th Birthday. "That's where it all started"
says Pamela.
Pamela Anderson Lee is famous for her Baywatch television
series role and her much-publicized time spent in court.
What two things were you thinking we meant?
Lee had a few movies under her belt, so to speak, --
Courtship (1984), China Blue (1984), Crimes of Passion
(1984), Violated (1985) and Some Kind of Wonderful (1987)
-- before her unique big break at age 22.
For that, Lee, at the time a fitness instructor, was
wearing the right t-shirt (with Labatts beer logo)
at the right time (during a 1989 pro football game in
her native British Columbia, Canada) on the right body
(hers) when filmed by an attentive cameraman. The Labatt
Company then hired the too-good-to-be-true buxom blonde
beauty for a series of commercial work, and she was
subsequently spotted by Playboy magazine. Lee has the
distinction of having appeared on the Playboy cover
an unprecedented five times.
With silcone breast implants in place, surgically inflated
lips permanently pouting, and bleached mane coiffed
high, the cartoonishly magnificent Canadian went on
to a bit part in TVs Married...With Children (1990),
and a two-year role in the series Home Improvement (1991
- 1993). She joined the cast of the wildly popular Baywatch
(1992 - 1997) and became recognized internationally.
During her time with the show, she took on B
movie roles in The Taking of Beverly Hills (1992), Snap
Dragon (1993), Raw Justice (1994), Come Die With Me:
A Mickey Spillanes Mike Hammer Mystery (TV - 1994),
Naked Souls (1995), and Barb Wire (1996).
Lees off-camera notoriety came with her 1995
marriage to Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee. The couple
has separated, re-confirmed wedding vows, had two children,
divorced and remarried in their five years together
(and apart). Husband Lee spent four months in jail for
spousal and child abuse and illegal firearm possession,
but has reformed.
The Lees went to court together soon after their initial
marriage when their self-made sexually explicit video
was allegedly stolen and the stills printed in a pornographic
magazine. The video itself hit the Internet on several
websites. The couple sued, but later dropped all charges.
Further litigation followed, in 1999, when Lee was
sued by a cable company for pulling out of a movie deal.
The cable company lost.
Back on-camera, Lee stars in the action comedy, V.I.P.
(1998 - ) for which her core of slavishly loyal fans
ensured a second season. The Queen of the Internet
now has her own under-construction Internet site at
pam.tv.com. The performer is, reportedly, writing a
book, entitled Pamdemonium. A previous book, Pamela
Anderson in Pictures, was published in 1996.
The entertainment media predicted, in 1998, that Hollywood
would lose interest in the outspoken and overexposed
Lee after her much-reported silicone implant removal
operation. Not so. This is one starlet with more than
meets the eye -- and thats saying a lot.
