Love, Pamela (2023)

Författare: Pamela Anderson

”Love, Pamela brings forth her true story, that of a small town girl getting tangled up in her own dreams.
Growing up on Vancouver Island, the daughter of young, wild, and unwittingly stylish parents, Pamela lived a hardscrabble childhood but developed a deep love for nature, populating her world with misfits, apparitional friends, and injured animals. Eventually overcoming her natural shyness, Pamela let her restless imagination propel her into a life few can dream of, in Hollywood and the Playboy Mansion. As her star rose, she found herself becoming a fixture of tabloid fodder, at the height of an era when paparazzi tactics were bent on destroying a person’s image and self-esteem.

Pamela forged ahead with grace, finding sanctuary in her love of art and literature, and emerged a devoted mother and activist.

Now, having returned to the island of her childhood, after a memorable run starring as Roxie in Chicago on Broadway, Pamela is telling her story, a story of an irrepressible free spirit coming home and discovering herself anew at every turn. With vivid prose interspersed with bursts of original poetry, Love, Pamela is a pensive, layered, and unforgettable memoir.”

Recension: Jag såg dokumentären på Netflix om Pamela och kände att jag vill läsa boken. Jag har nog haft en felaktig uppfattning om denna kvinna och är glad att jag har fått lära mig mer. Inspirerande hur stark hon står i sig själv trots att folk slänger massa fördomar mot henne. Jag gillar när jag får påminnelser om att inte vara så dömande. Det sker lät och många gånger gör jag det utan att tänka över det. Boken kommer snart på svenska för er som inte vill läsa på engelska. Sammanlagt får boken 4 av 5.
