Pamela Anderson Takes Control of Her Own Narrative in New Netflix Documentary, the Definitive Version of Her Life Story
In a handwritten note posted to her Instagram, Pamela Anderson has announced her upcoming Netflix documentary, which has been described as the "definitive version" of her life story. With renewed interest in the actress' life due to the release of Hulu's Pam & Tommy, this seems like the perfect time for Anderson to capitalize on the buzz with her own take on who she is in the pop culture consciousness.
On her Instagram, Anderson posted an image of a handwritten note on Netflix letterhead, sealed with a kiss. The note featured the words: "My life/ A thousand imperfections/ A million misperceptions/ Wicked, wild and lost/ Nothing to live up to /I can only surprise you /Not a victim, but a survivor /And alive to tell the real story."
While Pam & Tommy had no official involvement from Anderson, the Netflix documentary has Anderson's approval, with her son Brandon Thomas Lee even serving as a producer on the project. Directed by Ryan White, the documentary will feature archival footage and excerpts from Anderson's personal journals.
According to Variety, the documentary's logline describes the film as "an intimate portrait embedded in the life of Pamela Anderson as she looks back at her professional and personal path and prepares for the next steps on her journey."
We're excited to see how Anderson will take control of her own narrative after her story and autonomy was seized upon by the tabloid media during its heyday.
