Bücher von Pamela Anderson

ACTRESS. ICON. ACTIVIST. Her story, in her voice, for the first time. In this honest, layered and unforgettable book that alternates between storytelling and her own poetry, Pamela Anderson breaks the mould of the celebrity memoir while taking back the tale that has been crafted about her.Her blond bombshell image was ubiquitous in the 1990s. Discovered in the stands of a football game, she was immediately rocket launched into fame, becoming Playboy's favourite cover girl and an emblem of Hollywood glamour and sexuality. But what happens when you lose grip on your own life - and the image the notoriety machine creates for you is not who you really are?Growing up on Vancouver Island, the daughter of young, wild, and unprepared parents, Pamela Anderson's childhood was not easy, but it allowed her to create her own world-surrounded by nature and imaginary friends. When she overcame her deep shyness and grew into herself, she fell into a life on the cover of magazines, the beaches of Malibu, the sets of movies and talk shows, the arms of rockstars, the coveted scene at the Playboy Mansion. And as her star rose, she found herself tabloid fodder, at the height of an era when paparazzi tactics were bent on capturing a celebrity's most intimate, and sometimes weakest moments. This is when Pamela Anderson lost control of her own narrative, hurt by the media and fearful of the public's perception of who she was . . . and who she wasn't.Fighting back with a sense of grace, fuelled by a love of art and literature, and driven by a devotion to her children and the causes she cares about most, Pamela Anderson has now gone back to the island where she grew up, after a memorable run starring as Roxie in Chicago on Broadway, reclaiming her free spirit but also standing firm as a strong, creative, confident woman. 'The iconic Anderson uses a mixture of poetry and prose to present an impressionistic view of a fascinating life' Booklist

Die Autobiografie!Intim - ehrlich - liebenswertPopikone, Sexsymbol, Tierrechtsaktivistin, Schauspielerin, Sinnbild des Lebensgefühls der Neunzigerjahre - all diese Beschreibungen treffen zu. Allerdings werden sie dem Phänomen Pamela Anderson nicht gerecht. Die Frau, die von vielen allzu schnell als Baywatch-Nixe oder Playboy-Häschen abgetan wird, kann auf ein schillerndes Leben zwischen Glamour, Skandalen und dem Engagement für Minderheiten und Schutzlose zurückblicken.In ihrer offenherzigen Autobiografie erzählt sie von ihrer Kindheit in ärmlichen Verhältnissen und dem beschwerlichen Aufstieg zur weltweit bekannten Verfechterin von Frauenrechten und Emanzipation. Dabei kommen so unterschiedliche Themen zur Sprache wie Missbrauch, ihr turbulentes Eheleben, das brisante Sexvideo mit Mötley-Crüe-Schlagzeuger Tommy Lee und die Liebe für die Literatur.Pamela Anderson scheut sich nicht, ihre verletzliche, liebevolle und sensible Seite zu zeigen, die sie sich trotz aller Fehleinschätzungen und Anfeindungen bewahrt hat. Ihre Worte fesseln, bewegen, rütteln auf, klingen dabei aber wie im Gespräch mit einer guten Freundin geäußert, die man seit Jahren zum ersten Mal wiedersieht.
