Why Baywatch icon is ‘distancing’ herself from cult show


Pamela Anderson was one of the biggest and most iconic stars of the hit series, Baywatch.

The former Playboy model, 57, achieved international sex symbol status thanks to the incredible popularity of the show, which also starred the likes of David Hasselhoff and Carmen Electra.

But despite playing lifeguard CJ Parker on the show, it seems Anderson is keen to leave it all in the past.

Speaking about a Hulu documentary on the series, Anderson said she had no interest taking part in it.

Speaking candidly to Glamour, she said, ”I had nothing to do with this documentary. They begged everybody around me. They tried to get my kids to talk me into it.”

She said despite her being offered “producer credits,” she told producers, “No, I really don’t want to go backwards.”
