'To live and dream is a wicked dance. My dreams often come true - A curse,and a blessing.
Pamela Anderson's blond bombshell image was ubiquitous in the 1990s. Discovered in the stands during a Canadian football game,she was quickly launched into superstardom,becoming Playboy's favourite cover girl and an emblem of Hollywood glamour and sex appeal. Yet the Pamela Anderson we think we know was created through happenstance rather than careful cultivation.
Love,Pamela brings forth her true story,that of a small town girl getting tangled up in her own dreams.
Growing up on Vancouver Island,the daughter of young,wild,and unwittingly stylish parents,Pamela lived a hardscrabble childhood but developed a deep love for nature,populating her world with misfits,apparitional friends,and injured animals. Eventually overcoming her natural shyness,Pamela let her restless imagination propel her into a life few can dream of,in Hollywood and the Playboy Mansion. As her star rose,she found herself becoming a fixture of tabloid fodder,at the height of an era when paparazzi tactics were bent on destroying a person's image and self-esteem.
Pamela forged ahead with grace,finding sanctuary in her love of art and literature,and emerged a devoted mother and activist. Now,having returned to the island of her childhood,after a memorable run starring as Roxie in Chicago on Broadway,Pamela is telling her story,a story of an irrepressible free spirit coming home and discovering herself anew at every turn. With vivid prose interspersed with bursts of original poetry,Love,Pamela is a pensive,layered,and unforgettable memoir.
