Hollywood has woven many stories for cinephiles worldwide. But the thread-bearers of Tinseltown have countless tales untold that could make up for a franchise easily. Getting discovered in the star-studded constellation of showbiz is not an easy task, and in all honesty, it never was. Although nepotism may say otherwise, Pamela Anderson recently narrated the lesser-known story of her discovery on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon.

While showbiz lessens the likelihood of unearthing buried truths with the assumptions over-flowing about a know-it-all, Anderson’s tale turns the tables.

In a candid conversation on The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon reflected on how much he has been unaware of Pamela Anderson, leaning on the events of her Netflix documentary, Pamela, A Love Story. Fallon led Anderson to narrate the story of her discovery to the audience, and that is, when she backtracked the genesis of her “Baywatch to Broadway” discovery. She was allegedly at a BC Lions game in 1989 when the cameraman panned his lenses onto her in a Larbert t-shirt.

Anderson was on the Jumbotron all night, and after the Monday night game appearance, Playboy approached her and Anderson found herself on her first flight to Los Angeles. While Fallon could not come to terms with the fact that she went to a Larberts bear girl from Jumbotron, jump shipping to Playboy, and then Baywatch, Anderson joked about the “blurry couple decades” in between. However, the recollection was insightful and a testimony of how far she had come.

While Pamela Anderson’s trip down memory lane about the start of her career was daring, she recently stole the spotlight at the Golden Globes in a makeup-free look, proving boldness is simply in her DNA.

The award seasons are captivating for the audience in more ways than one. But besides the sparkles of the trophies, the couture showcase keeps fans glued to the screen. While a fashion differentiation at the Golden Globes had fans put on their detective hats, Pamela Anderson pulled a rabbit out of her own with her signature no-makeup look. Anderson was nominated for her first Golden Globe for her performance in The Last Showgirl. 

Anderson walked the red carpet in a stunning black Oscar de la Renta gown with elbow-length gloves and gems by Pandora. Although this is not the first high-profile event the actor has graced without a tinge of makeup, in a 2023 conversation with Elle, she explained the reason was the tragic death of her makeup artist, Alexis Vogel. Anderson’s fearless debut in showbiz already set the stage for a career where boldness is her only virtue. Hence, it is no wonder she conquered it all, from Jumbotrons to red carpets.
