In 1997, Peta received a note written on lilac stationery from a long-time supporter. As a young girl, Pamela Anderson had sent the animal rights charity quarter-dollar coins in the post. Now, thanks to her Playboy covers and role as red swimsuit-wearing, slo-mo-running Malibu lifeguard Cj Parker on Baywatch (viewed by 1.1 billion worldwide at its peak), she was one of the most famous women in the world – and she intended to use her ubiquity to draw attention to the causes she actually cared about.
“I was sick of talking about my boyfriends and my boobs all the time,” the now 55-year-old actor and activist explains in her new Netflix documentary, Pamela, A Love Story. “But I thought, ‘If I can attach it to animal activism or activism for the environment, then it meant something.’” In that handwritten note, Anderson suggested that she join forces with Peta to raise their profile further.
