Yahoo!'s Web Celeb Pamela
Lee

Talented and vivacious Pamela Lee has begun to
establish herself as one of the most popular
actresses with international film and television
audiences.
A native of Canada, Lee was born on Vancouver
Island, and later moved to the city of Vancouver.
It was while she attended a British Columbia Lions
football game that Lee was "discovered" in a most
unusual way. Dressed in a Labatt's Beer T-shirt,
her image was transmitted on the stadium's wide
screen. The fans cheered the beautiful girl, and
she was brought down to the 50-yard line and
introduced to the appreciative crowd.

As a result, she was signed to a commercial
contract with Labatt's and became the company's
"Blue Zone" girl. The campaign was so popular that
other commercials and advertising assignments for
Lee soon followed. Due to the recognition from
these commercials she was soon approached to do her
first cover for Playboy magazine. Pamela has
since gone on to grace the cover an astounding five
times, more than any other woman in the magazine's
history.
With the success and recognition she garnered
from Playboy, Lee soon moved to Los Angeles
where she spent two seasons in the top-ten ABC-TV
hit series Home Improvement as Lisa, The
Tool Time Girl. It was on Home Improvement
that she captured the attention and affection of
viewing audiences nationwide.

At the same time, Lee was cast as C.J. Parker on
the internationally successful series
Baywatch,
but because of the impossible schedule of working
on two hit shows, she eventually left Home
Improvement and remained full-time on
Baywatch. Having starred for 5 years on one
of the most phenomenally popular television
programs of all time (which is seen in 140
countries worldwide), Pamela recently departed the
show to pursue new opportunities.

Lee has made the transition into the feature
film arena, starring in the 1996 Dark Horse
Entertainment action comedy
Barb
Wire for Gramercy Films. She will next star
in and produce the comedy Dumped which is
scheduled to begin production this spring. Pamela
has signed a deal with Trimark Pictures to release
Tommyland, a documentary paying tribute to
herself, her husband Tommy Lee, and their life
together. It will be released in early 1997. Pamela
is currently working on her own book entitled
Pamdemonium for Warner Books. The book will
be a provocative, outrageous, and candidly
autobiographical, anecdote-filled insiders
perspective on Hollywood, sex and fame.
In addition, Lee was also featured in the CBS
movie-of-the-week, Deader Than Ever, a hip
and updated Mike Hammer mystery, co-starring Rob
Estes. She recently co-starred in the television
movie The Evolution of Mr. E, adapted from
the H.G. Wells short story, where she portrayed a
quirky sculptor/artist.
