From Baywatch to businesswoman: Pamela Anderson's life and legacy

Early Fame and Career Highlights

Born on July 1, 1967, Anderson rose to fame by sheer coincidence. She appeared on a stadium video screen during a BC Lions Canadian Football League game in Vancouver, wearing a Labatt's beer T-shirt, which caught the attention of talent scouts. She has appeared on more Playboy covers than any other model.

Her acting career turned into a reality after she moved to Los Angeles and landed roles in TV shows like Home Improvement, The Nanny, and V.I.P. Her acting career took off when Baywatch turned her into a household name worldwide. She also played roles in films like Barb Wire and Raw Justice and appeared on reality TV shows like Big Brother, Dancing with the Stars, and Dancing on Ice.

Financial struggles and court disputes

Despite her success, Anderson has faced financial difficulties throughout her life. She was paid only $1,500 an episode during Baywatch's first season. At the peak of her career, she received about $300,000 an episode but still struggled financially.

To regain stability, she listed her Malibu home for sale at $8 million in 2013 but ultimately sold it in 2021 for nearly $12 million.
