Pamela Anderson on Netflix

[Anonymous]

This was such a beautifully powerful documentary to watch. It was done respectfully and shows a side id never thought about before. Even without makeup she is a beauty still. Glad she made it out of Hollywood without a complete crash and burn.

One can't argue about the pictures. They were amazingly good.

Loved the documentary. I highly recommend.

I am glad she did this documentary. Hopefully it was cathartic for her.

Me too. I was impressed with how candid she is about her life and that she didn't shy away from a lot of mistakes. I'm also impressed by her sons, who seem to be well-adjusted, thoughtful, and productive. I think overall she came across very well and authentic. Do I love everything about her - no. Her relationship with Julien Assange and her supporting Harvey Weinstein are not defensible imo. But we all have some bad takes in life.

I went in to watching this thinking I would not think much of her but finished it having a lot of respect:

-she owns her mistakes and acknowledges she doesn't always think things through, leading with her heart, especially in manners of the heart. She seems to always be chasing the romance and of course that is not sustainable for most people.
-she doesn't apologize for her sexuality or her choices (like Playboy), which I respect. She acknowledges the downsides of that (typecast, people dismissing and disrespecting her) but doesn't seem to regret it.
-To that end, I was surprised to learn that she is pretty "clean": vegan, doesn't do drugs or appear to drink a ton. Wanted to be a mom and was a good one. Her boys seem to adore her.
-The think I liked most: she is fearless. I was rooting for her by the end and in awe of her stint on Chicago.

I say Brava to her!

Yeah, he seems like a total douche. And no matter how famous, nothing can make him better looking or cooler. That probably eats him up.

Fake bleached blonde hair, fake boobs, fake tan + zero talent as an actual actress.
And I do not think I was alone in that opinion.

But after watching this reflective documentary - I see there is so much more to Pam than face value.

Now in her mid-50’s, I can see that she is a much different person than I originally judged her to be.
She actually did much of the documentary bare-faced which is such a feat for ANY woman her age.

Her vulnerability extends as she reveals so much.
About her chaotic childhood, her parent’s crazy marriage, being molested as well as being raped at the tender age of just twelve.
She doesn’t say how traumatic her life once was > she tells her story in a “matter of fact” manner….even adding a little humor on the side.
There are no tears or pity partying as she speaks, she knows that everyone has gone through something during their own childhoods.

She showcases authentic talent ~ especially musically as she performed on Broadway.
Who knew??

And best of all, she shows what an excellent Mother she is (and has been!) to her two boys.

This documentary is very educational, especially for women as it draws parallels to why some women choose the men they do.
It ALL goes back to childhood….the type of home life we experienced as kids as well as how we formed our true definition of what being “in love” actually means.

I give this 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟s and highly recommend this.

I agree. She's very endearing. The misogynistic responses on this thread underscore how she's been treated for decades.

Agree. People implyig she's a whore or less than b/c of Playboy and Baywatch are really bottom-dwelling simpletons. You think she hasn't hear that before? If you're going to attack the woman, at least be original.

I was entirely disgusted by how interviewers and people publicly mocked her and asked about her boobs, sex, etc. I was in a place in life at her height where I wasn't "into" the Hollywood gossip (busy with school and career). So I was not aware of that and it is truly shocking. She played it off nicely but, man, had to have been tempted to respond more harshly. I know I would have.

I went in with higher expectations, and actually had the opportunity to see her in Chicago last year, but otherwise totally agree with all of this. I recently listed to Matthew Perry's autobiography so that was top of mind when watching and I really appreciated her ownership of her mistakes and her not blaming others, this was really in stark contrast to Matthew Perry.

She is a terrible person and judge o character. She is not that close to her kids.

Definitely believe her about Tim Allen. He Cosbyed the wholesome TV dad image multiple times, eventhough the media gave him a pass for most of it.

I worked for her 15 or so years ago. She’s an amazing mum and a really genuine nice person. She put on the role because it pays her bills. I’ve worked for many celebs and she is one of the nicest.
