Recently, the 58-year-old actress explained her decision to forgo heavy makeup and her transformation from platinum blonde to red hair. Anderson stated that her current natural look is maintained with products from her own skincare brand.
Pamela uses tinted moisturizer and natural-extract lip balm, viewing a makeup-free look as a “form of freedom” that helps her live true to herself.
The Baywatch actress also discussed her decision to change her hair color – a move that sparked debate among fans. The star, nearly 60, affirmed it reflects her personal identity transformation: “I don’t think much about my appearance. I’m creating a new character and I’m in a transitional phase.”
Peaceful Life at Nearly 60
Pamela Anderson rose to fame in the 1990s through her roles in Baywatch and Home Improvement.
The actress entered the entertainment industry after a serendipitous appearance on Canadian television, quickly becoming a sought-after face for Playboy magazine. Her blonde hair, captivating smile, and curvaceous figure helped Pamela become a global sex symbol.
However, after years of continuous work in Hollywood, Anderson decided to leave the limelight and return to her hometown on Vancouver Island, Canada. The actress retired during the Covid-19 pandemic, choosing a quiet life filled with gardening, cooking, and writing memoirs.
In early 2023, Pamela co-founded the vegan skincare brand Sonsie Skin. The beautiful star shared that returning to Canada helped her “find herself again”: “I don’t want Hollywood to define who I am anymore.”
Pamela renovated her family’s old home, planted vegetables, tended her garden, and enjoyed a peaceful life. Occasionally, the actress appears at international events, but her style has noticeably changed: light makeup, modest, simple attire.
The actress views going makeup-free as a way to challenge herself and redefine natural beauty: “I went to Paris Fashion Week without makeup. I don’t need to be the most beautiful woman in the room.”
A Tumultuous Love Life
Beyond her career, Pamela Anderson’s love life has always captivated the media. Hollywood’s “sex symbol” has been married five times.
Her first husband was rocker Tommy Lee. They married in 1995 and divorced in 1998 after numerous scandals, including Tommy serving jail time for assaulting his wife. Despite this, they had two sons together and briefly reunited in 2008.
Her second husband, singer Kid Rock, married Pamela in 2006 but divorced just a year later. The next tumultuous marriage was to poker player Rick Salomon. They married twice, in 2007 and 2014, both times divorcing quickly due to irreconcilable differences.
In 2020, Pamela had a marriage to producer Jon Peters that lasted only 12 days. Also that year, the actress married bodyguard Dan Hayhurst but separated after a year.
In her memoir, Pamela admitted her “crazy” love life stemmed from often being attracted to “bad boys.” A disadvantaged childhood, lack of love, and past abuse led Pamela to grow up with insecurities and a constant search for emotional compensation.
Recently, the actress revealed a brief relationship with actor Liam Neeson after they collaborated on The Naked Gun. Anderson recounted their dating nights and time spent together at the actor’s home in upstate New York (USA).
The couple also dined at a small French restaurant, where the actor introduced Pamela as “the future Mrs. Neeson.” The Hollywood star even helped Liam tend his garden during this time.
“If you want to know, Liam and I had a brief relationship, but only after we finished filming. People might think we were just promoting the new movie, but this was entirely real. We had genuine feelings. I really liked Liam, but honestly, we’re better as friends,” Pamela said.
Liam Neeson is one of Hollywood’s renowned action stars. Pamela Anderson is also considered one of the few romantic relationships the actor publicly acknowledged after his wife, actress Natasha Richardson, passed away in a skiing accident in 2009.
Happiness in Seeing Her Children Grow
Pamela Anderson’s two sons – Brandon Lee (29) and Dylan Lee (27) – are currently partners with the actress in her film production company. They are preparing to produce the TV series Barb Wire, in which Pamela will star.
“My sons handle many important tasks. It’s wonderful to collaborate and watch them grow. It’s a family business, and that makes everything even more special,” the almost 60-year-old star shared.
