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.
