DYK Pamela Anderson got her big break after appearing on screen during a football match?

From gracing the covers of Playboy magazines to playing the iconic role of C.J Parker in Baywatch, Pamela Anderson was one of the leading ladies of Hollywood in the 90s. Touted as a sex symbol, the actress raised eyebrows as a teen because of her beauty and charm and this is what helped her get her breakthrough. It is not uncommon to hear bizarre stories about how celebrities were discovered, however, Anderson has a unique one to tell.

How was Pamela Anderson discovered?

Born in Canada, the 53-year-old actress moved to British Columbia, Vancouver soon after graduating High school. According to IMBS, while working as a fitness constructor, a 22-year-old Pamela went to B.C. Lions football game at BC Place Stadium with a couple of her friends. Wearing a fitted Labatt’s blue crop-top, the stadium camera was panned towards the young actress, and her image was shown on the big screen at the stadium. 

This earned an uproar from the crowd and the actress was requested to be brought down on the field. Her brief appearance on the big screen brought a plethora of calls to the Labatt’s inquiring about the 'girl on the screen'. This instantly became a career-defining moment for the budding actress as she signed a contract with Labatt's beer to be a Blue zone girl. However, her fame did not stop there as the actress was approached by various commercials, and soon, she graced the cover of Playboy magazine in 1989.
