A role that slipped away
In the early 1990s, Anderson was offered Tanya Peters in the 1994 movie Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult, but scheduling conflicts made her decline, and Anna Nicole Smith took the part. More than thirty years afterward, she appeared in the 2025 sequel The Naked Gun.
First role
In 2022, Pamela Anderson played Roxie Hart in Chicago on Broadway, a run that lasted eight weeks and marked her Broadway debut. It was also her first time performing since 2019.
A first
In April 2006, Anderson hosted Canada's Juno Awards. She was the first model and the first non-singer to take on that hosting role.
