“I think, instead of trying to be this polished person, I’d rather be raw. One eye is smaller than the other, my nose is crooked, my lips are weird. Everyone is weird. Everyone has imperfections,” Pamela Anderson said in a recent interview. For Alabama residents who remember Anderson from her iconic role on the hit television show Baywatch, this candid reflection marks a shift from the polished image many remember.
Despite the iconic red swimsuit that made her a household name in the ‘90s, Anderson wasn’t always feeling so “red hot” after her time on Baywatch. The actress, who played the unforgettable C.J. Parker from 1992 to 1997, has since revealed that the years following her departure from the show were marked by deep personal struggles, including severe depression. RadarOnline.com reports that Anderson, like several of her co-stars, battled mental health issues for decades after her time in the spotlight.
