“I just didn’t have the representation back then. Or the know-how.”
Anderson was so integral to the show’s success, she revealed, that there were “Pamela clauses” in some of the licensing and syndication deals for the ‘90s smash hit, in which she played the lifeguard C.J. Parker for five seasons, starting in 1992 and ending in 1997. Many of the international broadcasters only wanted to buy “Baywatch” episodes featuring Anderson, while a Barbie doll based on her iconic character ended up a bestseller. She didn’t see a penny, she claims.
The former Playboy model has been speaking out about her life, leading up to the dual Jan. 31 releases ofPamela Anderson, Yasmine Bleeth and Gena Lee Nolin in “Baywatch.”, told Variety. “It still feels weird, how there hasn’t been some sort of discussion with Amazon, or the ‘Baywatch’ producers to get her her fair share. It’s funny how it works with Dave Chappelle with Netflix; he can somehow go back and get paid for a show that he didn’t own anything of.
