One of Hollywood’s most objectified women reclaims her story in new Netflix doc

???? ON THE TUBE TONIGHT-
(all times CLT)

Pamela Anderson makes a comeback to tell her story — in her own words: Netflix documentary Pamela, a Love Story follows the career and scandals of the blonde bombshell who made headlines for much of the 1990s and 2000. She returns fresh-faced at 55 to “take control of the narrative” of her life for the first time. The documentary, which sees her traipsing around her Vancouver Island estate on a lawnmower and Wellington boots, humanizes one of Hollywood’s most controversial stars and is a raw portrayal of life through her six marriages. From stories of childhood abuse, to interviews with misogynistic men, and a dramatization of her life (against her consent) in miniseries Pam and Tommy, Anderson takes us through her life’s traumas with a surprisingly calm and charming temper. Her subtly dark sense of humor throughout is at once tragic and inspiring, while the brief cameos of her sons’ fierce protection of their mother provides hope that her story might have a happy ending after all.
