Pamela Anderson planned to be a librarian but life went in 'different direction'

But her life changed after Hugh Hefner asked her to appear in Playboy magazine when she was 22.

She said: “I wanted to be a librarian. But I just went in a different direction.”

Pammy, 55, previously starred in the sitcom Stacked, about a party girl who got a job at a family-run book shop.

The mum-of-two, whose sex tape with ex-huband Tommy Lee was infamously leaked, also said loads of people told her she couldn’t write her own memoir.

But she defied her critics to write Love, Pamela, rather than hiring a ghostwriter like most celebrities.

She said: “People were, like: ‘There’s no way you could write a book.’

“Even my kids were saying: ‘Mom, you have to be able to write something that people are going to understand’.”

Even her own agent doubted her ability.

Pammy, who has graced the cover of Playboy a record 14 times, said: “I told him, ‘I can write, you stupid s***, give me some credit. And so I wrote it’.”

The iconic bombshell also said she was now “set up for life” since writing her memoir and filming her Netflix documentary called Pamela, A Love Story.

She also said the only man who ever treated her with respect was Playboy founder Hefner, who died in 2017.

And she described her first photoshoot as giving her “this little kind of portal on what it felt like to be a sensual woman”.

She said: “My sexuality was mine. I took my power back.”

The iconic bombshell also said she was now “set up for life” since writing her memoir and filming her Netflix documentary called Pamela, A Love Story.

In the documentary, she claimed she has never really got over the breakdown of her marriage to Motley Crew rocker Tommy Lee.

And she revealed she caught an ex boyfriend cheating on her after spotting him “suspiciously” washing his penis in the kitchen sink.

She added: “Looking back it’s funny, but in the moment you’re horrified.”
