Pamela: A Love Story traces Pamela Anderson’s career from a model and actress to a mother and activist.
The Netflix documentary was made by her son who had unlimited access to her records and documents.
She was discovered in the stands of a football game and started modelling. She became Playboy’s favourite cover girl, and then started acting and become well known in Baywatch.
You’ll hear about the truth behind those stolen tapes and its effect on her career and personal life. Then there was Tommy Lee’s time in jail.
Despite some poor life choices with men and multiple short marriages, she was doing her best to raise her sons Brandon Thomas Lee and Dylan Jagger Lee.
It was heartening to see her work hard to star as Roxie in Chicago on Broadway and try her hand at something new in her fifties.
She continues to support causes close to her heart including ocean and rainforest conservation and the protection of vulnerable humans and animals.
The film covered this pop culture icon with grace, honesty and authenticity. She walks around her house without makeup on and reads from her journals. It features never before seen archive footage.
The documentary showed her creative and sensitive side. She has a good sense of humour and talks candidly. I warmed to Pamela as a complex and multi-dimensional person.
Pamela: A Love Story is a surprisingly candid and warm documentary.
