context_page_description: Pamela Denise Anderson is a Canadian-American actress, model, activist, television personality, and author. She is best known for her numerous appearances in Playboy magazine and for her work on the television series Home Improvement, Baywatch, and V.I.P.
  Anderson rose to prominence after being selected as the February 1990 Playmate of the Month for Playboy magazine. She went on to frequent appearances on the magazine's cover, holding the record of the most Playboy covers by any person. Anderson became known to a wider audience in 1991, appearing as Lisa on the award-winning ABC comedy series Home Improvement for its first two seasons. She received international recognition for her starring role as C. J. Parker in the action-drama television series Baywatch, further cementing her status as a sex symbol, and went on to play Vallery Irons in the action-comedy series V.I.P.
  Anderson has appeared in films such as Raw Justice, Barb Wire, and Blonde and Blonder. In 2006, she was inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame, and played the role of Skyler Dayton in the Fox sitcom Stacked.
context_section_description: Anderson became the center of controversy when she posed in a bikini nearly nude for a PETA ad that was banned in Montreal, Quebec, on grounds that the ad was sexist. Anderson retorted saying, "In a city that is known for its exotic dancing and for being progressive and edgy, how sad that a woman would be banned from using her own body in a political protest over the suffering of cows and chickens. In some parts of the world, women are forced to cover their whole bodies with burqas – is that next? I didn't think that Canada would be so puritanical."
  She became a company spokesperson for FrogAds, Inc. in March 2012. In February 2014, she stripped for a Valentine's Day-themed ad for PETA, urging dog lovers to cuddle up with their pets during winter.
  On July 8, 2015, Anderson wrote to Putin to save whales. On December 15, 2015, Anderson, representing the IFAW organization, met with top Kremlin officials regarding animals rights in Russia. On December 15, 2016, Anderson and IFAW officials, including Elena Zharkova from IFAW Russia, met with Kremlin officials to discuss animal welfare and conservation.
