Pamela Denise Anderson was born on July 1, 1967 in Ladysmith, British Columbia in Canada at 4:08 PST. During her childhood, she moved to the city of Vancouver with her parents, Barry Anderson and Carol Anderson. As a teenager, she went to Highland Secondary School. Pamela was first "discovered" at a British Columbia Lions football game, when her image was shown on the stadium screen. The fans cheered her and she was brought down to the football field. Because of her fame in Vancouver, she signed a commercial contract with Labatt's beer to be the Blue Zone girl. More advertising assignments followed, and soon Playboy approached her. In October 1989, Pamela was on the cover of Playboy magazine. With the success from Playboy, Pamela Anderson moved to Los Angeles in 1990. In 1991, she made her television debut on "Home Improvement" (1991), where she starred as Lisa, the Tool Time Girl. Soon, she got attention from viewers nationwide, which got her the role of C.J. Parker on "Baywatch" (1989). She was on one of the most viewed television series worldwide. She made her big screen debut on Raw Justice (1994). Soon after, Pamela met Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee on New Year's Eve 1994 in New York City. In February 1995, they got married in Cancun, Mexico. They both returned to Los Angeles and stunned the world.
In spring of 1996, Pamela starred in Barb Wire (1996). While filming, she suffered a miscarriage. Pamela and Tommy were devastated, but there was hope for the couple when, on June 6, 1996, Brendon Thomas Lee was born. Soon later, a pornographic video of Pamela and Tommy was stolen from their home. Both of them sued an Internet web site for stealing the video. Their case wasn't settled and the video is still on the Internet. Meanwhile, Pamela and Tommy were having a rocky marriage, but, on December 29, 1997, Dylan Jagger Lee was born. Two months later, Pamela filed for divorce when her husband assaulted her. Tommy was sentenced to six months in jail. In late 1998, she starred on a TV show called _"V.I.P." (1999)_ . Soon later, she stunned the world again by removing her breast implants. In fall of 2001, she started to date singer Kid Rock, they announced their engagement in the spring of 2002. Then, Pamela announced that she was infected with hepatitis C. The cause of it was that Pamela shared a needle with her ex-husband Tommy for a tattoo. Immediately, Pamela went into treatment and her show was canceled. In the fall of 2003, she broke up with Kid Rock and starred on a animated series by Stan Lee called "Stripperella" (2003). Pamela soon joined PETA on many issues including fur, slaughter of chickens and supporting vegetarians. In 2005, she starred on a FOX comedy show called "Stacked" (2005). She also decided to get bigger breast implants. Pamela also teaches at her sons' Sunday school and still poses for magazines.

Personal quotes
"I don't think about anything too much. It freaks me out!"
"Making love in the morning got me through morning sickness. I found I could be happy and throw up at the same time."
"What I know in life runs the gamut of the "feminist experience." The true meaning of feminism is this: to use your strong womanly image to gain strong results in society."
"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 ..."
"I don't recommend surgery at all. Women's bodies are beautiful as they are, and I've had a love/hate relationship with my breasts my whole life." quoted by the New York Post
