Pamela Denise Anderson was born on July 1, 1967 in Ladysmith, British Columbia, Canada. As though destined to become famous, Pamela Anderson became popular as the “Centennial Baby” being incorrectly thought to be born the first baby during Canada’s Centennial Day.

In 1985, upon graduating high school at the Highland Secondary School, Pamela Anderson moved to Vancouver to work as a fitness instructor. In 1989, during a Canadian football game with a friend, Pamela Anderson was shown on the stadium’s widescreen wearing a Labatt’s t-shirt. The crowd cheered on to Pamela’s natural beauty. Labatt’s offered Pamela Anderson with a modeling contract and she accepted without hesitation.

In 1989, Pamela Anderson modeled for Playboy magazine as the year’s cover Girl. She decided to move to Los Angeles and continue her blossoming modeling career. She became the February 1990 Playmate and appeared in Playboy magazine several times. After transferring to L.A., Pamela Anderson bleached her naturally brunette hair blonde and landed a small role in the sitcom, “Home Improvement”, where she costarred with Tim Allen from 1991 to 1997.

However, it was only until she landed the role of C.J. Parker on “Baywatch” that Pamela Anderson gained wider audiences. She stayed on the show from 1992 to 1997, while balancing her modeling career. She also appeared in “The Nanny” and returned to Baywatch for their 2003 reunion movie.
