Ok, so as a 33 year old I was a bit young to really follow the Pamela Anderson of the 90s. The only things I ever really knew about her were that she was a blonde model who was naked a lot and was in some sex tape. I had seen her on stuff I guess, but never really even thought of her other than as "the blonde bimbo".
After watching this I'm both sad and happy for that. Having not followed it, I have never seen said tape and I didn't watch the Hulu series. I'm SO glad for that because now that I know she didn't have any part in either of those things I wouldn't want to give them my attention anyway.
Pamela seems like such a genuine soul who is on this earth to love. I'm sad I never knew how she advocated for animals. She has such a pure heart and it really showed in this doc. Her sons clearly love her as much as she loves them and I love their fun dynamic.
I was crying like a baby listening to her talk about Tommy. Wow, I never knew they were so in love. But huge respect to her for leaving when she knew she needed to. And I just love how she didn't say a single bad word about anyone. She just doesn't seem like the type who would.

Who knew I would absolutely love Pamela Anderson
Norma Jean of the 21st century
Pamela Anderson was thrown into fame after a divine intervention allowed her to be selected for a picture opportunity out of the thousands in a football game, which ended up in the hands of the Play Boy recruiters. The savvy makeup artists crafted her into flaming beauty with beach blond hair, simmering blue eyes and illustrious lips curved to perfection. Over a night, she was every men's dream. And every girl wanted to be like her.
However, she moved to Los Angeles at a time when deplorables like Harvey Weinstein and such were kings. She famously played in Bay Watch, which further cemented her as the ultimate sex symbol. As though she wanted a breakthrough from this mold, Hollywood was the good 'ol boys network (and it still is) and most notable interests in her required further exploitation of Pamela as a person.
I could not even fathom how difficult it would be for a young girl with beauty to perfection to come from a small island town in Vancouver to be thrown into the hands of the wolfs' of Hollywood. But she stands on her two feet anyway and her only self-defeating prophecy is that she's afraid to be alone. Perhaps, one of the reasons why she goes through men like a deck of cards. Maybe marriage is financial security or everyone she meets is not Tommy her only love. Maybe dating is underrated. Who knows?
Toward the end, there are a few clips from Pamela's newest endeavor. She plays Roxie Hart in Broadway's Chicago. In production for nearly 25 years, she sings, dances, and receives many accolades.
Anyone can ace in Broadyway can ace anywhere. I for one, look forward to seeing her on the screen again.
Brilliant, honest & raw
I have so much respect for Pamela Anderson after watching this. What came across regards the whole Tommy era is that these two souls were in love (for real), so I see things in a different light now. The love Pamela has for children was just pure light & nice to see. Pamela is a true survivor, she is the ultimate in girl power!. I really hope that director's out there now cast Pamela in more (brilliant) roles. After watching this it left me feeling inspired, that no matter what life chucks at you, light will always overcome dark. Pamela is a talented, honest, caring, loving, funny real person, a refreshing revelation!
2morland: it doesn't make it woke. It makes it honest and truthful.
2Criticalninja: Pam and Tommy is rubbish that has nothing to do with the real Pamela Anderson. Watch this instead.
@gabi_levi they'll make it woke by blaming some white straight male for taking advantage of her and leading her down the wrong path in her career.
Like it thanks

While trying to think of the reason or the way they could have made this "woke" and unwatchable, ... Meanwhile, downloaded the full set of Baywatch starring her udders.
