Love, Pamela by Pamela Anderson

 Love, Pamela

By Pamela Anderson 

The actress, activist, and once infamous Playboy Playmate reclaims the narrative of her life in a memoir that defies expectation in both content and approach, blending searing prose with snippets of original 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. 

Now MY Review minus spoliers 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.💫

I have to say that this memoir came up as a book I might enjoy. I will be honest, I was kind of skeptical. In all honesty, it turned out to be a very productive and great read about the life of Pamela Anderson. I will say that I’ve had my own personal thoughts about her through the years but reading this book has made me change certain thoughts about her. I will definitely say that I admire her devotion to her two grown sons, being the type of mother that she wanted to be for her children and her activism towards animals. I think everybody knows the type of lifestyle she lead and she was pretty much honest. That’s my opinion with this memoir. I was able to get this book pretty quick through the Libby app and listen to it via audio and I prefer listening to a lot of memoirs this way, so you can hear the author in their own words. Tell their story. I can remember watching her back in the day on Baywatch. Yes, I did watch that lol. I also knew she was a playboy playmate in about her various relationships. It seems that this stage of her life is she is at peace, and I wish her nothing but success in Great Health in the future and appreciate her, sharing her story with the reader.
