Pamela Anderson is currently receiving the best reviews of her acting career for “The Last Showgirl”. In Gia Coppola’s drama, the 57-year-old plays an aging showgirl. Some critics believe the former “Baywatch” starlet could even receive an Oscar nomination for “Best Actress.”
Anderson has long fought against her image as a “blonde”. Her roles, like in “Baywatch,” as well as her escapades (the sex tape with Tommy Lee) naturally made the image change difficult.
It’s certainly extremely inconvenient for her, especially now that the Oscar campaigns are rolling in, as Kanye West of all people has reminded us. In 1998, Pamela Anderson performed at a party. She presented a cake. To “Playboy” boss Hugh Hefner. And she was stark naked except for her stilettos. Kanye West showed excerpts from this “birthday surprise” in his Instagram story on Wednesday.

Hefner celebrated his 82nd birthday at the time. He was friends with Pamela Anderson. In February 1990 she was the “Playmate of the Month” in “Playboy”. However, there was reportedly no mention of abuse of power. On the contrary. Hefner was the only “prominent man” who ever treated her with “complete and unqualified respect”. Anderson told the Times.
The photo shoot for the “Playboy” cover, Anderson said, was formative for her. “I was very shy. And I hated that feeling. That’s why I did it,” she says. “I just didn’t want to have that feeling anymore.” So Hugh Hefner helped her with her emancipation.
During the shoot she experienced for the first time what it was like to be “a sensual woman,” Anderson told the newspaper. “My sexuality was mine. I took my power back.”
Why did Kanye post Pamela Anderson’s nude video?
Why did Kanye West of all people post the birthday video without any context? Unclear. Maybe he had seen “The Last Showgirl” and wanted to pay tribute to Pamela Anderson in an idiosyncratic way. He also likes to post nude videos and pictures, like those of his wife Bianca Censori.
However, parallel to the Anderson video, West played an audio clip with the words: “Hide your bitch”. What sounds like an insult could, in sexist rap terms, also be meant as a “compliment”. Because Kanye West and Pamela Anderson know each other well. She appeared in his 2006 video for “Touch the Sky.”
