Trivia[]

  • Anderson was the first baby born on Canada’s 100th Anniversary as a nation. As a result, Anderson was named “The Centennial Baby.”
  • Anderson was shy as a child, "I was painfully shy as a child."
  • Anderson's natural chest was a modest B-cup. She got her first implants in 1990. She had them removed on April 15, 1999 because she wanted her breasts to return to their original state. Not 'feeling herself', Pamela got new, even bigger, implants in 2004.
  • In her youth she was more a tomboy than a girlie girl.
  • Anderson was naturally athletic. She was a gymnast and acrobat, and her agility earned her the name "Rubber Band".
  • Anderson was a good athlete in high school and excelled in virtually every sport she played; a collection of medals and trophies attest this. She did track and field and played basketball, but her favorite sport was volleyball. She was the captain of the team. On Baywatch her character C.J. Parker was a part time volleyball coach.
  • After graduating high school Anderson moved to Vancouver where she got a job as a fitness instructor at a fitness club called "Trendsetters". She was training to become a female body-builder.
  • David Sereda, who claims he was the first professional photographer to discover Anderson recalled seeing Anderson for the first time: "When I first saw her, she looked like a blooming blond sunflower and had a face that was so bright, it could melt anyone who attempted to gaze." He continued, "Pam was so fit and strong looking, well tanned from artificial rays, and she was training to become a female body-builder.  She had strong arms, was quite wide in her mid-section, big thighs, and wanted to gain even more weight in muscle than she already had. That was her first ambition, to become a female bodybuilding champion, and perhaps follow in the footsteps of Rachael McLeish. This girl was destined for a career in the physical fitness industry, so she thought at the dawn of time." It was Sereda who killed Anderson's fitness dreams, "I told her that if she wanted to be a fitness star alone, she could do some modeling in that world, but that if she wanted to go mainstream, she would have to abort her plan to be a bodybuilder and lose the excess muscle, and go lean.  I suggested a New Age fruitarian diet.  She struggled with the idea for a long time. Pam was pretty, but not the kind of model who could make it in a mainstream way, not yet anyway. I saw the potential."
  • She played the saxophone in the school band and after school. Anderson's character C.J. Parker on Baywatch is shown playing the sax in her first episode.
  • Anderson’s goal in her high school yearbook was to be a “California beach bum.”
  • Pamela's innocent beauty and athletic ability made an impression on the Baywatch producers. Anderson aced the informal but demanding swimming, diving and running test that all would-be lifeguards had to pass.
  • Both Alexandra Paul and Pamela Anderson auditioned for the role of C.J. Parker. Anderson got the role as Paul was not deemed athletic nor buxom enough.
  • Ranked #11 of Sci-Fi's Sexy 50, by Femme Fatales magazine (1997).
  • Playboy Playmate of the Month February 1990.
  • Was discovered when stadium's electronic scoreboard camera focused on her as a spectator watching a BC Lions' Canadian Football League game.
  • She is a vegan and animal rights activist.
  • Has appeared a record 14 times on the cover of Playboy.
  • In 1999, won the Linda McCartney Award for animal rights protectors.
  • Became a United States citizen in April 2004 but will still keep her Canadian citizenship.
  • Ranked #17 in Stuff magazine's "102 Sexiest Women in the World" (2002).
  • She was voted most powerful female Canadian in Hollywood by a Canadian economic magazine in 2005.
  • Named #40 on Maxim magazine's Hot 100 Women of 2005 list.
  • Named #8 in FHM's "100 Sexiest Women in the World 2005" special supplement.
  • To protest against the use of fur for making clothes, she posed naked in the window of Stella McCartney's store in London.
  • Named #24 in FHM magazine's "100 Sexiest Women in the World 2006" supplement.
  • Auditioned for the role of Rennie in Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989), but lost out to Jensen Daggett.

Quotes[]

  • "What I know in life runs the gamut of the 'feminist experience'. The true meaning of feminism is this: to use your strong womanly image to gain strong results in society."
  • "I am the ultimate California girl, which is funny, being that I'm Canadian."
  • "With low expectations, it's very easy to surprise people."
  • "My breasts have had a brilliant career. I've just tagged along for the ride."
