Pamela Anderson’s ‘empowering’ memoir pre-empted by Headline

Pamela Anderson’s “empowering, heartrending and intimate” autobiography Love, Pamela has been scooped by Headline in a pre-empt.

Sarah Emsley signed UK and Commonwealth rights from Caspian Dennis at Abner Stein acting on behalf of David Kuhn at Aevitas Creative Management. The book will be published by Headline on 31st January 2023 in hardback and e-book.

Anderson’s blond bombshell image was ubiquitous in the 1990s. Discovered during a Canadian football game, she was quickly launched into superstardom, becoming Playboy’s favourite cover girl. “Yet the Pamela Anderson we think we know, created through happenstance rather than careful cultivation, hid her true story: that of a small-town girl getting tangled up in her own dream,” the publisher said.

The synopsis goes on: “As her star rose, she found herself becoming a fixture of tabloid fodder, at the height of an era when paparazzi tactics were bent on destroying a person’s image and self-esteem. Pamela forged ahead with grace, finding sanctuary in her love of art and literature, and emerged a fiercely devoted mother and activist. Now, having returned to the island of her childhood, after a memorable run starring as Roxie in ‘Chicago’ on Broadway, Pamela is finally telling her story – that of an irrepressible free spirit coming home and discovering herself anew at every turn.”

Headline said: “With vivid prose interspersed with bursts of original poetry, Love, Pamela is an empowering, heartrending and intimate memoir. We look forward to sharing the book with her fans and readers everywhere next year.”
