Pamela Anderson is opening up about being overlooked and 'underestimated' by Hollywood and saying why it's given her an advantage in her next role.
For most of her career, Pamela Anderson has been confined to the label of 'sex symbol.' Gracing many covers of Playboy magazine and making red swimsuits iconic, thanks to her role in television's 'Baywatch,' the 57-year-old actress says she has been 'underestimated' by Hollywood but that she has been part of the problem, as well.
Anderson's real life parallels her character in the movie; a Las Vegas dancer getting pushed out of the industry due to her age. Anderson says securing this large of a role this late in her career 'came at the right time.' Last year, Anderson released her impactful documentary, 'Pamela, A Love Story,' which delved into her personal life behind the camera, and showed a different side to the bombshell. 'Everything just came at the right time. The stars have really aligned.
feel so blessed and fortunate that I get this opportunity and chance to kind of have this life that I’ve thought I could have a long time ago, and just you know, things get interrupted, life interrupted.' 'Having nothing to live up to is kind of a good position to be in,' she joked earlier. 'You can surprise everybody. Even with a full sentence, you're a genius! . . . But no, it's timing. I just think timing and having the capacity to focus.
submitted the script to her old agent, and it got turned down within an hour, and then, I was able to find a way through Brandon , your son, to get her the script,' Coppola added. Anderson has since signed with a new agency. 'No one else could have played this role but Pamela,' Coppolla added.
