Young Photos of Pamela Anderson
Look back at Pamela Anderson's early years as a young Hollywood star.
Before Kim Kardashian or Blake Lively or even Scarlett Johanson, there was Pamela Anderson—modern Hollywood's first and ultimate bombshell.
The Canadian-born actress and model rose to fame after she appeared on the jumbotron at a football game in Vancouver. Quickly after, the attention she received and the opportunities that came her way snowballed until she appeared on the cover of a 1989 issue of Playboy. Soon after, Anderson landed a role on the iconic show Baywatch and eventually became one of the show’s longest-standing cast members. Through her various roles, modeling, as well her incredibly public and controversial relationship and marriage with Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee, Anderson quickly became one of the most-known names in Hollywood.
In case you missed it, Hulu’s series Pam & Tommy, starring Lily James and Sebastian Stan, told the story of Anderson and Lee’s infamous stolen sex tape. The series has given an intimate look into the world-famous couple’s life and relationship and focuses particularly on the leaking of their sex tape to the public.
However, with the help of her son Brandon Thomas Lee, Anderson told her own side of the story in her 2023 Netflix documentary, Pamela, A Love Story. The documentary follows Anderson's life throughout the years, as she sets the record straight on everything from her career to her incredibly publicized love life. Last year, Anderson also released her memoir, Love, Pamela. The former Playboy model's tell-all book shares her experiences working in the infamous Playboy Mansion.
The renewed interest in the cultural zeitgeist of Anderson has peaked in the interest of fashion brands. In 2022, Anderson attended the Jacquemus fashion show in a wide-brimmed, fringed hat that mirrored one of her most iconic '90s looks. Now in her no-makeup era, she recently fronted Proenza Schouler's Spring/Summer 2024 campaign. As the fashion world's '90s revival continues to proliferate, L'OFFICIEL looks back on Anderson's early years in the spotlight.
