Impressive! Pam came out a winner after decades of turmoil.

I'm not a fan of Pamela or Tommy. In fact, I pretty much hate celebrities, in general. Just because a person can "play a musical instrument" or "pretend for a living" shouldn't automatically give them the high power status that it now does in our society. With that said, I think this movie does a wonderful job of showing the true characters of Pam & Tommy. Their core values are solid and if you can ignore their celebrity occupations (and the glitter that surrounds that) then you can really see how loving and true they are as human beings. If I were their sons, then there is nothing that I would be ashamed about as having Pam & Tommy as my parents.Pam's mistakes are that she keeps looking for a happy marriage (REPEAT: she is NOT a bad adult and NOT a bad mother). That message of her strength and core value is clear in this movie and listening to this stripped down "the real Pam" version makes the viewers want her to someday find the love and happiness that she so badly is looking for whether it be forever alone or with someone else.

Who knew I would absolutely love Pamela Anderson

Ok, so as a 33 year old I was a bit young to really follow the Pamela Anderson of the 90s. The only things I ever really knew about her were that she was a blonde model who was naked a lot and was in some sex tape. I had seen her on stuff I guess, but never really even thought of her other than as "the blonde bimbo".After watching this I'm both sad and happy for that. Having not followed it, I have never seen said tape and I didn't watch the Hulu series. I'm SO glad for that because now that I know she didn't have any part in either of those things I wouldn't want to give them my attention anyway.Pamela seems like such a genuine soul who is on this earth to love. I'm sad I never knew how she advocated for animals. She has such a pure heart and it really showed in this doc. Her sons clearly love her as much as she loves them and I love their fun dynamic.I was crying like a baby listening to her talk about Tommy. Wow, I never knew they were so in love. But huge respect to her for leaving when she knew she needed to. And I just love how she didn't say a single bad word about anyone. She just doesn't seem like the type who would.

Norma Jean of the 21st century

Pamela Anderson was thrown into fame after a divine intervention allowed her to be selected for a picture opportunity out of the thousands in a football game, which ended up in the hands of the Play Boy recruiters. The savvy makeup artists crafted her into flaming beauty with beach blond hair, simmering blue eyes and illustrious lips curved to perfection. Over a night, she was every men's dream. And every girl wanted to be like her.However, she moved to Los Angeles at a time when deplorables like Harvey Weinstein and such were kings. She famously played in Bay Watch, which further cemented her as the ultimate sex symbol. As though she wanted a breakthrough from this mold, Hollywood was the good 'ol boys network (and it still is) and most notable interests in her required further exploitation of Pamela as a person.I could not even fathom how difficult it would be for a young girl with beauty to perfection to come from a small island town in Vancouver to be thrown into the hands of the wolfs' of Hollywood. But she stands on her two feet anyway and her only self-defeating prophecy is that she's afraid to be alone. Perhaps, one of the reasons why she goes through men like a deck of cards. Maybe marriage is financial security or everyone she meets is not Tommy her only love. Maybe dating is underrated. Who knows?Toward the end, there are a few clips from Pamela's newest endeavor. She plays Roxie Hart in Broadway's Chicago. In production for nearly 25 years, she sings, dances, and receives many accolades.Anyone can ace in Broadyway can ace anywhere. I for one, look forward to seeing her on the screen again.
