Pamela Anderson asserts that the production crew for the 2017 Baywatch film originally wanted her to do a cameo for free. The actress, who gained fame as C.J. Parker in the 1989 television series, told Variety that the movie's producers called her frequently to inquire about taking part in the production.
"It was becoming really, really awful. They said they wanted me to do it as a favor," revealed Anderson, 55. "I said, 'I do favors for animals, not for Paramount.' There was just so much bullying to do it. They wanted me to do it for free, as an homage or something. I said, 'Come on, guys. I mean, really?'"
She ultimately consented to do a cameo without any dialogue. Anderson said, "I ended up okay. No complaints."
Furthermore, Anderson also admitted to Variety that she struggled after Prime Video acquired the rights to the Baywatch television series. "The producers of Baywatch made a fortune. I just didn't have the representation back then. Or the know-how. You don't realize when you're doing a TV show that it's going to be that popular, so you kind of sign your life away."
