Pamela Anderson reveals her ‘whole story’ in her own words

• Pamela Anderson is finally telling her story.
• In a new documentary she shares her life story in her own words. 

The actress tells her life story in her own words in a new documentary and memoir, both of which will be released on January 31.

Anderson remained silent last year when the Hulu series Pam & Tommy depicted her relationship with musician Tommy Lee, their marriage, and the loss of their private tapes. She’s now prepared to correct the record, though.

It was her two sons Brandon, 26, and Dylan, 25, who “encouraged me to tell my tale,” as she says in an interview and an exclusive extract from her memoir in the upcoming issue of PEOPLE.

“[There’s] a little bit of anxiety before it comes out, because this has been a year, basically, of therapy, going through my life from my first memory to my last memory,” says the 55-year-old star of writing her memoir, Love, Pamela. “I’m really proud of it. It is something I wrote every word of. I didn’t have a collaborator. I didn’t have any ghostwriter, nothing.”

“It’s just one girl’s story of how I made it through: a small-town girl going to Los Angeles and just going through all the wild and crazy adventures I did and then circling back and going home,” she explains.

The process of reflection, she says, uncovered deep emotions. “I had no idea how much anger I had inside, or how therapeutic it was going to be for not just me, but for people around me, like my mother,” she says. “It’s been a healing process. I’m so happy to share it and hopefully people will be inspired.”
