With a lifetime of colourful stories and zeitgeist moments in her wake, the woman whose slow-motion run down a beach in Baywatch is a pop culture reference point doesn’t want to talk about her jam-packed past. She was also a topic of much conversation and consternation this year after Hulu delivered the limited series Pam & Tommy, which revisited the non-consensual distribution of Anderson’s and then-husband Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee’s sex tape in the mid-1990s. Most recently, Anderson has been back in the spotlight due to rave reviews for her turn last spring as Roxie Hart in Chicago on Broadway.
