Born on Vancouver Island, Canada, Pamela gained media
attention while attending a British Columbia Lions football game.
Cameramen spotted her taut Labatt's Beer T-shirt in the stands and
broadcast her image on the stadium's wide screen. Fans cheered, and
she was taken to the 50-yard line to be introduced to the crowd.
Labatt's signed her to a commercial contract as the company's "Blue
Zone" girl.
 Playboy Magazine must have
been looking for the same attributes as Lebatt's, since it had Pamela on
its cover a record ten times.1 Pamela parlayed the
attention on her physical assets into a recurring role for two seasons as
the Tool Time Girl on Home Improvement (1991-1999), and as C. J.
Parker on the amazingly popular internationally distributed television
series Baywatch (1989-2001).
While on a photo shoot along Route
66 for a 1992 issue of Playboy Magazine, Pamela was read her rights
and taken to the police station on charges of indecent exposure.
Pamela says that she was not indecently dressed, since she was wearing a
sheer dress and only one nipple was sticking out. As penance for her
indiscretion and to avoid real charges, she wrote a letter of apology to
the Baptist minister who was living adjacent to the shoot location.
In 1995, she married the multi-tattooed Motley Crue drummer Tommy
Lee with whom she had two children. In 1997, a videotape which
they made of themselves having sex became a best-selling adult home video.
The couple was divorced 1998 following Tommy's arrest for
assaulting Pamela. While serving a six month sentence in California
on those charges, he was allowed to serve a 30 day sentence concurrently
for an assault at a Phoenix concert on a security guard who tried to keep
fans from rushing the stage at the band's urging.
In June of 1999 the couple reconciled, but by April of the
next year they had gone their separate ways again.
