  • Pamela Anderson has cemented her status as a cultural icon, captivating audiences with a career that consistently evolves, surprising and entertaining audiences. Anderson received rave reviews as the star and title character in the Gia Coppola-directed The Last Showgirl. The feature premiered at the 2024 Toronto Film Festival and was one of the most talked about at the festival. Anderson is well known for her role on the blockbuster television series Baywatch. Upon her joining the show, Baywatch became the most-watched series in the world with over 1.1 billion viewers weekly, and Anderson became the highest paid actress on television. Due to Anderson’s popularity, international distributors of the series enacted “Pamela clauses” in their contracts, agreeing to purchase only episodes she was in. Born and raised in Ladysmith, Canada, Anderson was discovered while attending a Lions football game in Canada when she appeared on the jumbotron wearing a Labatt's Beer t-shirt, a shirt she wore to obtain free game tickets. It led to an offer to appear in a Labatt's commercial, and subsequently her career in Hollywood. In theaters July 2025, Anderson will appear opposite Liam Neeson in the upcoming Naked Gun film for Paramount Pictures.
