Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee were the talk of the tabloid press thanks to all kinds of provocations and wild parties immortalized by the paparazzi. The duo met for the first time in 1995. It was truly love at first sight, and they got married after only one month and went on to have two children, Brandon Thomas, born in 1996, and Dylan Jagger, born in 1997. Because of the scandal that followed their wedding, the incandescent blonde and the bad boy became the most emblematic couple of the decade. In 1995, a stolen video, revealing the couple's intimate moments together, circulated. This tape turned out to be the precursor of the sex tape.

The couple, who have been divorced since 1998, continues to fascinate pop culture and is now the subject of the mini-series Pam and Tommy, starring Lily James (Cinderella) and Sebastian Stan (Falcon and the Winter Soldier). Nick Offerman (Parks and Recreation), Taylor Schilling (Orange Is the New Black) and Seth Rogen (Long Shot) have also joined the cast. The series covers, as is perhaps to be expected, the scandal of the sex tape. It has over eight episodes, the first three of which are already available on Disney+.

This is probably the most iconic image of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee: he is shirtless, revealing his multiple tattoos, while she is looking at the camera while biting his nipple ring.

Who could forget Baywatch, and more specifically the role of C.J. Parker, the blonde with stunning beauty - played by Pamela Anderson in the series.

After Baywatch, Pamela Anderson starred as the sexy agent thirsty for money in Barb Wire in the mid-1990s. Anderson wears a full leather look, which she decided to reinterpret during her visit to Cannes in 1995, as a nod to her character.
