Pamela follows her passions, whether it’s “Learning French in fast cars...” (A play she has written and will produce) or lending herself, with complete faith, as a death defying magician’s assistant in Las Vegas. As a film, television and musical theatre star, her resume speaks for itself, from the iconic hit Baywatch to the smash film Borat, Pamela regularly impacts popular culture.

Pamela is also appearing in multiple campaigns for her comrade and mentor, the legendary Dame Vivienne Westwood. As a philanthropist, Pamela’s work and dedication is unmatched in the celebrity community. A long time supporter of PETA, she has also lent her time and resources to causes such as JP/HRO, Waves For Water, USO, Cool Earth, Sea Shepard Conservation Society (Pamela recently flew to Germany to defend Captain Paul Watson for his wrongful imprisonment), and The MAC Viva Glam 5 campaign raising awareness for AIDS testing around the world. Pamela is also producing a documentary series with activist Paul Manley in Canada called Whatever It Takes, showcasing people who dedicate their lives to a cause at all costs.
Full of surprises, and always one to pursue new passions, Pamela excelled as a participant and competitor on the smash-hit ABC series Dancing with the Stars.
