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.

Pamela was discovered while watching a CFL game in Vancouver, where the cameras panned on her and stopped on the Labatt's Beer T-shirt wearing babe. The crowd went wild (perhaps helped by the Labatt's itself!), and soon after Labatt's hired Anderson to appear in commercials. After that success, a move to Hollywood and a role in Baywatch propelled her to instant superstar. What followed were roles in Married with Children, Home Improvement, and several nude appearances in Playboy (the most covers of any woman in the history of the magazine with 9).

Surprisingly enough, Pamela's teenage years were as normal as any other teenager's. She was a regular girl with braces, who loved volleyball and playing the saxophone. Interestingly enough, her nickname in high school was "Rubber Band" because of her flexibility and excellence in sports. Her yearbook statement the year she graduated from Highland Secondary School in 1985 read that her aspiration in life was "To Be a California Beach Bum."

The third incident that Pamela experienced was the one that ended up being her big break. While attending a professional football game in Vancouver in 1989, she appeared on the Jumbo screen at the game wearing a Labatt's beer T-shirt, and the crowd went wild. She had such an effect on the audience that Labatt hired her to do commercials. She became the company's "Blue Zone" girl and her image appeared on the walls of bars and restaurants all over Canada, on Labatt posters.

Thanks to the popularity of the campaign, Pamela was approached to do a cover for Play..boy. Her appearance on Hef's magazine was the launching pad of her career, and roles in television soon followed.

She had a small role on the comedy Married... With Children, and played Lisa, the "Tool Time Girl" on Home Improvement. Her role on Home Improvement led to her red bathing suit-clad role as lifeguard C.J. Parker on Baywatch. David Hasselhoff knew that she'd be perfect for the part, the same way he knew Angie Harmon was the perfect match for her Baywatch Nights role. Both Pamela and her character shared a belief in "New Age Thinking," something Pamela inherited from her Scandinavian grandfather.

During her lifeguard days, Pamela appeared in the following small-time movies: The Taking of Beverly Hills, Snapdragon, Raw Justice, and The Evolution of Mr. E. She also had a role in the television detective series, Mike Hammer.

In 1996, Pamela starred in her first feature film, Barb Wire, despite her manager's advice to refuse the film role. She should have taken his advice, since the film bombed at the box office.

The event in Lee's life that has caused the most hoopla in the public eye was her spontaneous surprise wedding to Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee after dating for four days. Although Pamela avoided him at first, Tommy followed her down to Cancun, where he eventually won her heart and they got married on the beach. With the bride in a thong bikini and the groom in swimming trunks, the couple proved their love by getting tattoos of each other's names on their body parts rather than exchanging wedding rings at the "altar."

Pamela and Tommy's marriage has been in the tabloids since the day they got married, with constant reports of fights and problems. Pamela Anderson (now) Lee's most widely recognized camera appearance is probably the tape of her and Tommy Lee engaging in sexual acts. The homemade video was allegedly stolen from their house in 1995 and can still be viewed on the Internet. In 1997, one year after the birth of their first child Brandon, Pamela filed for divorce. It didn't take long for the Lees to get back together and Dylan, their second son, was born later that year.

In 1998, the blonde bombshell became the star of the successful syndicated show V.I.P. and when not on the screen, continued to work as an advocate of animal rights.

Pamela and super male model Marcus Schenkenberg became an item after her final split from Tommy Lee. Making her divorce from Tommy even more official, she dropped "Lee" from her name in June of 2000. In April of 2001, she started seeing the king of trailer trash rock, the cocky Kid Rock.

In early 2002, Pamela announced her involvement in the animated series Stripperella, a stripper/superhero character created by Stan Lee of Marvel Comics fame. This was followed by news that she would accompany her new boyfriend on tour as an on-stage stripper. All this was put on hold when it was made public that Pam has been diagnosed with hepatitis C. She claims that she contracted the potentially fatal disease by having shared a tattoo needle with Tommy Lee.

To add insult to injury, her syndicated TV program, V.I.P. was canceled after four seasons, in June of 2002. Just two months prior, she and Kid Rock announced their engagement, but the wedding, like her professional career, has been temporarily put on hold as Pam is undergoing treatment for her illness.

On a brighter note, she has launched a monthly column in the pages of Jane magazine. The debut of "Pam, Honestly" appeared in the August 2002 issue. As for the yearlong custody battle for her sons, it seems that a judge finally ordered joint custody of the children.
