Pamela Anderson's Twin Peaks of Success

Anderson likes to joke that her "breasts had a career of their own and I was just tagging along." So, it might surprise you to learn that the blonde bombshell was a childish tomboy who loved playing with "anything that creeped and crawled." She was a "complete contrast" with her mother, who was cut from a cosmetic cloth. She would tell young Pamela that there was "no excuse not to look good" and "no such thing as natural beauty." Being a looker required hard work and mirror time. This maternal glamour rationale went beyond vanity: "You are more powerful if you're pretty."
