TO LIVE AND DREAM IS A WICKED DANCE. MY DREAMS OFTEN COME TRUE? A CURSE AND A BLESSING. PAMELA
ANDERSON's blond bombshell image was ubiquitous in the 1990s. Discovered in the stands during a
Canadian football game she was quickly launched into superstardom becoming Playboy 's
favorite cover girl and an emblem of Hollywood glamour and sex appeal. Yet the Pamela Anderson
we think we know was created through happenstance rather than careful cultivation. Love Pamela
brings forth her true story: that of a small-town girl getting tangled up in her own dream.
Growing up on Vancouver Island the daughter of young wild and unwittingly stylish parents
Pamela lived a hardscrabble childhood but developed a deep love for nature populating her
world with misfits apparitional friends and injured animals. Eventually overcoming her
natural shyness Pamela's restless imagination propelled her into a life few can dream of from
the beaches of Malibu to the coveted scene at the Playboy Mansion. As her star rose she found
herself a fixture of tabloid fodder at the height of an era when paparazzi tactics were bent
on destroying a person's image and self-esteem. Pamela forged ahead with grace finding
sanctuary in her love of art and literature and emerged a devoted mother and activist. Now
having returned to the island of her childhood after a memorable run starring as Roxie in
Chicago on Broadway Pamela is telling her story a story of an irrepressible free spirit
coming home and discovering herself anew at every turn. With vivid prose interspersed with
bursts of original poetry Love Pamela is a pensive layered and unforgettable memoir.
