She is seen in Ladysmith/British Columbia in a white cape on the shore. Pamela Anderson is from Ladysmith and has moved back here, where the mum lives, during the pandemic. She thought the contractor who was repairing the house on the beach was so cute that she married him. But now they are separated.
Pamela Anderson laughs when she says “woman in her 50s”. She flips through the old diaries she keeps in plastic boxes and watches the old videos she made of Tommy Lee and her sons. The documentary is called Pamela, A Love Story. It’s not a film about a woman’s love for herself, but a film about a woman who loves, and loves, love very much. “She loves getting married,” says her son Dylan. She reads from the diaries as she first left Ladysmith, drove to Seattle, and flew to Los Angeles, where she was expected at Hugh Hefner’s mansion. She found pleasure in the photos for “Playboy”. She got a role in “Baywatch” that made her world famous. The off-screen girl’s voice reads how Pamela wrote about great love. A lover is “a free spirit” and she is a “hippie romantic.” All these men were free spirits.
Free spirit Tommy Lee, drummer for Mötley Crüe, followed her to Cancún, where they were married on the beach within four days. A safe was later stolen from their garage, which contained a videotape of Pamela and Tommy having sex, along with knick-knacks. These recordings were then sold by a company. Anderson complained, was repeatedly questioned indiscreetly by the court and finally resigned. After being physically assaulted, she left Tommy Lee, who was in prison for six months. “I’ve never loved a man like Tommy,” she says. “But it doesn’t work with him either.”
She took dance lessons to perform on Broadway in the musical Chicago. As Roxie in a black suit, she is very good. The day after the premiere, her son reads the respectful, yet patronizing, reviews. One reviewer confirms that she “can hold a tune”. Nothing really turned out that way. Well, she could stop dreaming or get married. “Maybe next week.”
