Pam is also a published author. She has written four autobiographical texts and two novels. Some of her bigger titles include Star, Star Struck, Lust for Love: Rekindling Intimacy and Passion in Your Relationship and Raw. She released her memoir, Love, Pamela, on January 31, 2023.

The blonde bombshell is well-known for her vast modeling work. Pamela holds the record for the most appearances on the cover of Playboy magazine. Since landing her first cover in October 1989, she’s graced the front of the publication 14 times.

In addition to being a sex symbol, Pamela’s fashion choices in the ’90s and early 2000s are still talked about today. (Ahem, her outfit at the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards.)

However, over the years, her sense of style has evolved. “I have wonderful friends. Vivienne Westwood, Donatella Versace, Tom Ford and these great people who have always been very generous to me,” Pamela told Vogue during a 2016 interview. 

“I’ve also had crazy, wild husbands and fun friends like David LaChapelle who wanted to dress me up for events,” she added. “I feel like I’ve been a muse to a lot of people, a lot of artists and some designers, and it wouldn’t necessarily be what I would choose to wear. I think now I’m really working on my personal style.”

“Changing mentalities, defending victims, delivering justice, challenging politics for 25 years, Pamela Anderson has been supporting those who are on the front line to protect human, animal and environmental rights,” the French fashion house wrote in a statement at the time.
