Netflix released a new documentary chronicling the actress’ life in her own words and the Pamela A Love Story Twitter reactions show that they are extremely happy that she did. The documentary stars Pamela Anderson and Gregory Butler in lead roles and is directed by Ryan White. Running for around 2 hours, Netflix’s synopsis reads, “An intimate and humanising portrait of one of the world’s most famous blonde bombshells, Pamela, a love story follows the trajectory of Pamela’s life and career from small-town girl to international sex symbol, actress, activist and doting mother.”
The film explores her relationships in the past and the playboy girl identity she was thrust into at the time. Looking back at the tapes of Tommy Lee proposing to her, she reminisced how happy she was feeling at the time. Love was high in her mind at the time. Now, she is looking for meaning in her life some purpose after being pulled into all sorts of directions as a pop culture icon. The documentary is shot in a house in Canada at Ladysmith, BC, where Pamela grew up.
She is using her voice to tell her story of coming up as an actress, being held under media scrutiny and the amount of vitriol she had to face as a woman because of that infamous sex tape. The actor speaks about how she had dated several popular men in the past, but Tommy Lee had been the one journalists were most excited to learn about. Their passionate love story had garnered a huge audience and people were here to see it.
Expressing her discomfort with this information, she explains in the documentary that she was regularly asked lewd and inappropriate questions about her body during interviews. Being a sex symbol had its own disadvantages, and there are examples in the documentary that show us how uncomfortable she was answering these questions.
This trauma is multiplied when Hulu announced that they will be making a series based on the sex tape leaking. Called Pam and Tommy, the show stars Sebastian Stan and Lilly James as the titular characters. Her son is the only one who has seen the show and expresses how disturbing it was for his mother to even hear about it.

Fans of Pamela Anderson and even those who happened to open the documentary out of curiosity found the show to be extremely degrading, and this attempt on Anderson’s part to take back the narrative was extremely brave. They have shared how harrowing her stories were, how belittling it is to be reduced as a sex symbol and how interesting it is that she is using her voice to tell this unknown story.
