Pamela Anderson sets the record straight in a new autobiography and documentary: ‘I want to take control of the narrative for the first time’

Pamela Anderson wants to set the record straight.

The 55-year-old actress, who refused to watch the Pam and Tommy series or read a note written by actress Lily James meant to reassure her about the series, is releasing her memoirs and a Netflix documentary telling her side of things January 31.

In an interview with People, the former Baywatch star said her sons, Brandon, 26, and Dylan, 25, whom she shares with ex-husband Tommy Lee, 60, encouraged her to come forward.

Having her say: Pamela Anderson, 55, is telling her side of things in a new memoir and documentary. Both are being released in January 31 (Pictured in Marbella, Spain in May 2017)

‘It’s just one girl’s story of how I made it through: a small-town girl going to Los Angeles and just going through all the wild and crazy adventures I did and then circling back and going home.’

The City Hunter actress, who has released two prior autobiographies and four novels, is proud of her work and asserts she wrote Love, Pamela without the help of a ghostwriter.

She equates the process of compiling the book to ‘therapy, going through my life from my first memory to my last memory.’

Documentary: Pamela, A Love Story, will be released on Netflix January 31. The actress, who often appears on camera without makeup, admits ‘I put myself in crazy situations… and survived them’

Therapeutic: Pamela told People that the creative process of writing the book and shooting the documentary have been good for her. ‘I had no idea how much anger I had inside, or how therapeutic it was going to be for not just me, but for people around me’

‘I had no idea how much anger I had inside, or how therapeutic it was going to be for not just me, but for people around me, like my mother,’ she revealed. 

‘It’s been a healing process. I’m so happy to share it and hopefully people will be inspired.’

In a trailer for her documentary, Pamela, A Love Story, the Canadian beauty declared ‘I want to take control of the narrative for the first time.’ 

Curves: The former Playboy model is more well known for her curvaceous figure than her talent, and while she used those assets to her advantage, she was often the butt of jokes in the media
