BIOGRAPHY

Pamela Anderson Lee is famous for her Baywatch television series role and her much-publicized time spent in court. What two things were you thinking we meant?
Lee had a few movies under her belt, so to speak, -- Courtship (1984), China Blue (1984), Crimes of Passion (1984), Violated (1985) and Some Kind of Wonderful (1987) -- before her unique “big break” at age 22. For that, Lee, at the time a fitness instructor, was wearing the right t-shirt (with Labatt’s beer logo) at the right time (during a 1989 pro football game in her native British Columbia, Canada) on the right body (hers) when filmed by an attentive cameraman. The Labatt Company then hired the too-good-to-be-true buxom blonde beauty for a series of commercial work, and she was subsequently spotted by Playboy magazine. Lee has the distinction of having appeared on the Playboy cover an unprecedented five times.
With silcone breast implants in place, surgically inflated lips permanently pouting, and bleached mane coiffed high, the cartoonishly magnificent Canadian went on to a bit part in TV’s Married...With Children (1990), and a two-year role in the series Home Improvement (1991 - 1993). She joined the cast of the wildly popular Baywatch (1992 - 1997) and became recognized internationally. During her time with the show, she took on ‘B’ movie roles in The Taking of Beverly Hills (1992), Snap Dragon (1993), Raw Justice (1994), Come Die With Me: A Mickey Spillane’s Mike Hammer Mystery (TV - 1994), Naked Souls (1995), and Barb Wire (1996).
Lee’s off-camera notoriety came with her 1995 marriage to Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee. The couple has separated, re-confirmed wedding vows, had two children, divorced and remarried in their five years together (and apart). Husband Lee spent four months in jail for spousal and child abuse and illegal firearm possession, but has “reformed.”
The Lees went to court together soon after their initial marriage when their self-made sexually explicit video was allegedly stolen and the stills printed in a pornographic magazine. The video itself hit the Internet on several websites. The couple sued, but later dropped all charges.
Further litigation followed, in 1999, when Lee was sued by a cable company for pulling out of a movie deal. The cable company lost.
Back on-camera, Lee stars in the action comedy, V.I.P. (1998 - ) for which her core of slavishly loyal fans ensured a second season. The “Queen of the Internet” now has her own under-construction Internet site at pam.tv.com. The performer is, reportedly, writing a book, entitled Pamdemonium. A previous book, Pamela Anderson in Pictures, was published in 1996.
The entertainment media predicted, in 1998, that Hollywood would lose interest in the outspoken and overexposed Lee after her much-reported silicone implant removal operation. Not so. This is one starlet with more than meets the eye -- and that’s saying a lot.
