Cultural phenomenon and icon Pamela Anderson changed beauty standards and the conversation around female power sources in this country forever. She became the first Playmate to successfully cross over into the mainstream - only to have her new found power taken from her after the theft and release of her, and then husband Tommy lee's private home movie(s). Twenty years later she has finally told her own story, after an unsolicited television show forced her hand. In this episode I talk about the Hulu show, Baywatch, Playboy and a near academic breakdown of the sex tape. All is done with kindness, respect, and a deep love for Pamela.
My resources include all of her Playboy covers, several of her books including: Star: A Novel (2004), Raw (2015), Lust for Love: Rekindling Intimacy and Passion in Your Relationship (2015), and Love, Pamela (2023), multiple interviews, her 2005 Comedy Central roast, Baywatch, Pam and Tommy (2022), and Pam and Tommy Lee: Hardcore and Uncensored (1996).
