Pamela Anderson’s body of work spans both entertainment and activism.
An international icon who uses her platform to help raise awareness, Pamela proclaimed the Playboy Mansion as her university — growing up amongst artists, intellectuals and philanthropists living a free-thinking lifestyle. This ignited her. Hugh Hefner — who has called Pamela “The DNA of Playboy” — put her on the magazine’s cover a record 14 times in the United States, while appearing on Playboy’s international covers over 100 times worldwide.
Pamela’s first television role was playing Lisa, the Tool Time Girl on ABC’s hit sitcom Home Improvement. She then became a global icon, starring as CJ, in Baywatch, one of the world’s most successful television series of all time. Pamela then went on to produce her own television series, V.I.P., starring as Val.
Pamela’s singular starring movie role was Barb in the cult hit Barb Wire.
Driven by her passion for art, love and activism, Pamela’s courage, compassion and empathy — combined with her worldwide popularity — has made her a powerful voice for the planet. As a board member and Honorary Director of PETA, Pamela has played an integral role in some of the organization’s most successful and recognizable campaigns.
Founded in 2014, The Pamela Anderson Foundation (www.pamelaandersonfoundation.org) boldly supports organizations and individuals that stand on the front lines, risking their lives to protect and preserve human, animal and environmental rights.
For many years, Pamela has funded and steadfastly advocated for The National Domestic Violence Hotline, which provides essential tools and support to help survivors of domestic violence so they can live their lives free of abuse.
Pamela has been a distinguished speaker at both Oxford and Cambridge on the subjects of activism, veganism and romantic love.
Of late, Pamela spends most of her days in Canada, dedicating her resources full-time to restoring her family property and gardens. On her native Vancouver Island, Pamela supports a number of causes close to her heart, including RASTA, a local farm and animal sanctuary. There, she has donated her time and resources to build a 5,000 square-foot barn for injured animals.
Pamela serves as on the board of directors for The KL Foundation, which is dedicated to helping First Nations’ most vulnerable children and empowering families in need.
Pamela has also contributed to the production of several award-winning documentary films, including The Game Changers and Naomi Klein’s This Changes Everything.
In April 2022, Pamela will make her broadway debut in the role of Roxie Hart in CHICAGO for a limited 8-week engagement.
Also announced in April 2022, Pamela will be telling her story, her way, with a new documentary set at Netflix.
Pamela is currently penning an introspective memoir that traces her ascension from bright, small-town girl to instant icon—from her heartfelt search for love to her persistent fight for animals, justice, and a better world—a reflection on the choices one must make to preserve and reinvent their identity, friendships, and family.
In Fall 2022, Pamela will star in a home renovation show that will see the star renovate her late grandmother’s home on Vancouver Island. Anderson bought the seven-acre home in Ladysmith, British Columbia from her grandmother 25 years ago as a promise to keep the property in the family.
Above all else, being a mother to sons Brandon Thomas Lee (an actor, 25 years old) and Dylan Jagger Lee (a musician, 24 years old) has been Pamela’s priority and greatest source of pride.
