Pamela Anderson: Barb Wire
built 145 days ago
Bleached blonde, buxom, but slender bombshell "Pamela Anderson" stands out in any crowd as one of the sex symbols of the mid-'90s. Known first as a spokesmodel for Labatt beer, then as one of Playboy magazine's most popular models, "Anderson" gained international recognition after she was cast as C.J., the sweet but tough lifeguard in the impossibly tight red bathing suit in the phenomenally popular syndicated television series "Baywatch". Her popularity has led to several film roles, notably that of the black leather bustier-wearing title heroine in the comic-book actioner "Barb Wire" (1996). The role was appropriate, for there is something indeed cartoonish about "Anderson", who had enhanced her petite frame with big hairdos, surgically inflated lips, and silicon breast implants (since removed).

In 1996, Pamela starred in her first feature film, Barb Wire, despite her manager's advice to refuse the film role. She should have taken his advice, since the film bombed at the box office.

Barb Wire: Pamela receives her first major starring role as "Barb Wire", a heroine who fights crime in the year 2010. Pamela trained with the same personal trainer responsible for getting Linda Hamilton buffed for the sequel to The Terminator : T2. Pamela had taken martial arts prior to the filming of Barb Wire and with the Kick Boxing she learnt for this role, she is sure to be a powerful force. Pamela has been openly praised for doing her own stunts as well in this film.
