Pamela Denise Anderson was born in Ladysmith, British Columbia, on July 1st, 1967. Literally born into the spotlight, she was the first baby to be born on Canada's one-hundredth birthday, earning her the title of “The Centennial Baby.” Her landmark birth was chronicled in the local newspaper and her parents, Barry and Carol, were awarded with cash prizes for the birth of little Pamela.

Pamela's teenage years were as normal as any other teenager's. She was a regular girl with braces, who loved volleyball and playing the saxophone. Her yearbook statement the year she graduated from Highland Secondary School in 1985 read that her aspiration in life was “To Be a California Beach Bum.”

While attending a professional football game in Vancouver in 1989, she appeared on the jumbo screen at the game wearing a Labatt beer T-shirt and the crowd went wild. She had such an effect on the audience that Labatt hired her to do commercials. She became the company's “Blue Zone” girl and her image appeared in Labatt posters on the walls of bars and restaurants all over Canada. Pamela was soon approached to do a cover for Playboy, which was the launch-pad for her career, and roles in television soon followed.

After bit parts in a series of television shows including “Married with Children” and “Home Improvement,” she finally landed her dream role in 1989 as C.J. Parker on “Baywatch”. The show became one of the most phenomenally popular television programs of all time, and can be seen in 140 countries worldwide.

Pamela was married to Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee, and they had two children, Brandon and Dylan. However, the couple divorced in early 1998. During the spring of 2001 she dated singer Kid Rock, but they broke up in the fall of 2003. Eventually she reunited with ex-husband Tommy Lee after she found out she was diagnosed with hepatitis C, which she contracted when they shared the same needle for their tattoo.  She married and divorced Kid Rock in 2006.
