okgo Posted January 14, 2023 Posted January 14, 2023 (edited) Quote I am sitting across from Pamela Anderson, at her kitchen table, trying to explain to her that I have an app on my phone that will make me look like Pamela Anderson. “What?” she says, her blue eyes widening. “What is it? What could it possibly do?” I open my phone to show her. Ms. Anderson, 55, puts on a pair of reading glasses, then examines my screen, which has transformed my face into a 1990s version of her: hair in a tousled top bun, pencil-thin eyebrows, mouth in a lip-lined pout. She shrieks. “That’s insane.” When I angle the camera toward her, she ducks out of the frame. “I am not doing it on myself. I will not. I refuse,” she says. She’s laughing, but she means it. She doesn’t want to look like a 20-something version of herself, nor does she want to relive that period in her life. Or at least she’s not going to let someone else force her to do so. The world learned that last year, when it got word of Ms. Anderson’s reaction to “Pam & Tommy,” the Hulu series that tells the story of her life and, in particular, her marriage to the Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee, the father of her children. That relationship began with a four-day courtship in Cancún, Mexico, and a wedding, with Ms. Anderson in a string bikini, and mostly ended with Mr. Lee in jail after striking his wife while she was holding their newborn son. The marriage began to unravel after a video of the couple having sex was stolen from a safe in their Malibu, Calif., home — then went the 1990s version of viral. If you grew up in a certain era, you know about that tape. “Pam & Tommy” was meant to set the record straight on that bit of retro tabloid history and to depict what happens when millions of people got intimate access to the world’s most famous sex symbol. But Ms. Anderson wouldn’t play the game. She refused to watch the show. When Lily James, the actress who stars in it, reached out after taking the role to ask if they could speak — saying in a handwritten letter, that she wanted nothing more than to honor her — Ms. Anderson snubbed her. A scanned copy of that letter still sits in Ms. Anderson’s inbox somewhere, unread. For Ms. Anderson, “Pam & Tommy” felt like just another exploitation. Except this time it came wrapped in the paper-thin promise of some sort of salvation. “It was already hurtful enough the first time,” Ms. Anderson tells me, pausing as she takes a tray of roasted vegetables out of the oven. She looks ethereal in all white, barefaced and in a pair of slippers, against the backdrop of the snow outside. “It’s like one of those things where you’re going, ‘Really?’ People are still capitalizing off that thing?” Full: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/13/opinion/sunday/pamela-anderson-pamela-and-tommy.html Longish but great article that repaints the media's latest obsession with "reevaluating" female celebs they mistreated in the past by exploiting them all over again and making them relive past trauma without their consent while they're still alive and doing well Her memoir "Love, Pamela" is out this month: https://www.harpercollins.com/pages/lovepamela and so is her Netflix doc "Pamela, a love story": https://www.netflix.com/title/81590934 Edited January 14, 2023 by okgo

prézli Posted January 14, 2023 Posted January 14, 2023 I'm sad she went back to her long blonde hair. The short one fits her so much, specially at her age.

She an actress but can u point me to a movie a show or a successful project she been in that’s making waves. again it’s nothing against her. It just is what it is.

Don’t get ur panties twisted over some damn words that she herself wouldn’t. You ignored my post just to say this lol she literally did Chicago last year which sold very well because she was headlining and got great reviews (as mentioned in the NYTimes article that you didnt read) it's prob become one of her biggest acting projects ever already considering she was never taken seriously/a successful actress to begin with (outside of Baywatch which wasn't exactly known for the acting) so it's dumb to say she's a "washed up actress" now when most of her projects were mostly always C-list action/parodies poking fun at her public persona (she hasn't been active careerwise for years til now and yet she can still easily book those kind of roles if she wants, she's in an upcoming horror movie alongside Luis Guzmán - Gomez from Netflix's Wednesday, per example). Pamela was always more of a brand/model/celeb who had a grip on pop culture/was often mimicked and she's clearly still excelling in that department, she's the face of trendy fashion brands like Jacquemus as I also posted, she's been regularly featured in publications like Vogue (which never happened back in the day), has a new doc in the biggest streaming platform, etc
