Pamela Anderson was popular for being the hot blonde bimbo from Baywatch, and while she basked in that character for decades, she has reinvented herself in recent times. She first hinted at her change with a makeup-free look at Paris Fashion Week 2023, after which she kept attending more events barefaced.
As her latest film, The Last Showgirl, received positive reactions at the San Sebastián International Film Festival in Spain, Pamela said the last few years have been inspirational, adding that she is finally off the rollercoaster of emotions her old persona came with.
Why has Pamela Anderson dropped her bimbo persona?
Pamela admitted that most of her career was based on her looks and desirability to the public; however, she has decided to strip away the bimbo look to take control of her narrative. She also wanted people to see her passion for her work, which is thankfully happening as she is under consideration for the Oscars.
The sex-symbol-turned-serious-actress is also an animal rights activist and a member of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). She has also been at the forefront of campaigns for AIDS and against pornography. Added to Pamela’s endeavors is her skincare business, Sonsie Skin, which boasts vegan products for glowing skin like hers.
A look at Pamela Anderson’s old glam life
Pamela’s former life came with all the glamor and appeal of being a Hollywood sex symbol, as she was one of the top Playboy models of her time. She was a beauty standard back in the day, pioneering the smokey eye makeup that recently made a comeback among the Gen Z on TikTok.
Her celebrity run also came with drama, as her marital challenges and multiple divorces were in the public eye. She recently addressed her love life, saying she is currently single and not looking for love. Pamela is happy to have changed her life’s message from achieving captivating eyes to embracing aging and self-confidence while at it.
