Pamela Anderson- the hot star
Pamela Anderson was born to a working class family in British Columbia
. After high school, she worked as a fitness instructor until she was
“discovered” at a Canadian football game. Anderson , wearing a
form-fitting Labatt’s tee shirt, was broadcast over the stadium’s giant screen
. She was then hired by Labatt’s to appear in their advertisements.
An offer from Playboy soon followed. She would go on to appear in five more
issues of the magazine. Anderson parleyed her modeling success into a series
of bit parts on television programs. She got her first big break in 1991 as the
“Tool Time Girl” on the sitcom Home Improvement. While there, she attracted
the attention of casting agents from Baywatch, who were looking to replace
Erika Elaniak, the shows then-current blonde bombshell. The hour-long show
portraying the lives of Malibu lifeguards was a nearly plotless vehicle for
semi-nude video montages and the critics panned it accordingly.
However, fueled by frequent shots of the voluptuous Anderson, the show became
the highest rated program worldwide.
Anderson’s television success did not transfer well to the big screen. Despite mass
publicity, including an appearance by Anderson at the Cannes Film Festival clad in
a skintight cat suit, her first effort, Barb Wire, was both a critical and commercial failure.
