Pamela Anderson: Reads Her Memoir and Shares Her Poetry
In this honest, layered and unforgettable book that alternates between storytelling and her own poetry, Pamela Anderson breaks the mold of the celebrity memoir while taking back the tale that has been crafted about her.
Her blond bombshell image was ubiquitous in the 1990s. Discovered in the stands of a football game, she was immediately rocket launched into fame, becoming Playboy’s favorite cover girl and an emblem of Hollywood glamour and sexuality. But what happens when you lose grip on your own life—and the image the notoriety machine creates for you is not who you really are?
Growing up on Vancouver Island, the daughter of young, wild, and unprepared parents, Pamela Anderson’s childhood was not easy, but it allowed her to create her own world—surrounded by nature and imaginary friends. When she overcame her deep shyness and grew into herself, she fell into a life on the cover of magazines, the beaches of Malibu, the sets of movies and talk shows, the arms of rockstars, the coveted scene at the Playboy Mansion. And as her star rose, she found herself tabloid fodder, at the height of an era when paparazzi tactics were bent on capturing a celebrity’s most intimate, and sometimes weakest moments. This is when Pamela Anderson lost control of her own narrative, hurt by the media and fearful of the public’s perception of who she was…and who she wasn’t.
Fighting back with a sense of grace, fueled by a love of art and literature, and driven by a devotion to her children and the causes she cares about most, Pamela Anderson has now gone back to the island where she grew up, after a memorable run starring as Roxie in Chicago on Broadway, reclaiming her free spirit but also standing firm as a strong, creative, confident woman.

Totaal geen fan van Pamela, maar ik heb wel enorm genoten van het boek. Moest een beetje in het voorlezen door Pam komen, omdat ze een beetje een zeikerige stem heeft, maar verder heb ik genoten. Altijd interessant om een andere kant van het verhaal te horen. Zeker de 5 uurtjes luisteren waard.

Authentiek, haar verhaal, door haar verteld. Wel een beetje zweverig, komt misschien ook wel door haar stem.

Meeslepend geschreven. Pamela schrijft al haar hele leven, zie ook de docu en dat merk je; deels ook ‘effortless’ proza. Ze schudt het zo uit haar pen. Zo lijkt het. Respect voor hoe ze zich staande heeft gehouden en houdt in de showbiz wereld.
