FOR DECADES, Pamela Anderson was regarded as little more than a blond bombshell and vapid sex symbol who posed for Playboy, ran on the beach in a red Baywatch swimsuit and engaged in a string of failed marriages.
Not anymore. In early 2023, she showed the world a different side of herself with her Emmy nominated documentary, Pamela, a Love Story, and her memoir, Love, Pamela. Shortly after, she went viral when she entered her no make-up era, a movement she's called "fun and freeing." Now, the 57-year-old -who's garnering rave reviews for her gritty portrayal of an aging-out Vegas dancer in Gia Coppola's The Last Showgirl says she's living on her own terms. "I feel so blessed and fortunate that I get this opportunity and chance to have this life that I've thought I could have a long time ago," she said during a Sept. 7 interview. She's earned it. "After her documentary and book, people started to respect Pam as a woman of intelligence who has a purpose in life," an insider tells Star. "She can finally show people who she really is and have her say."
