She shared the details about her experiences with sexism as an actress, with The Hollywood Reporter. The actress revealed that there was an era when women were anything and everything to get roles in movies. She said:
“Sorry, now I’m really in trouble.”
“I remember Revlon and Guess Jeans both offered me huge campaigns, and I didn’t feel right about going into a room and sitting on a bed. I just had this sense that this was not going to go well.”
Anderson also recalled her unpleasant experience with Steven Seagal for the movie Under Siege,
“I remember him saying to me, ‘If you don’t do it, then that girl across the hall will do it, and she’ll get the job. And I said, ‘Well, good, goodbye.’”

Pamela Anderson Experienced Sexism In Hollywood
Pamela Anderson was a popular name in the movies and TV shows in the 90’s era when she did movies like Pam & Tommy Lee: Stolen Honeymoon, Naked Souls, Scary Movie, Raw Justice, and more. The actress was part of the acting industry when sexism was very popular in the entertainment industry. The actress talked about sexism in an interview with Megyn Kelly in November 2017. It was the same year when numerous women had accused producer Harvey Weinstein of sexual abuse.
Anderson said,
“It was common knowledge that certain producers or certain people in Hollywood or people to avoid, privately. You know what you’re getting into if you’re going into a hotel room alone.”
Her comment did not go down well with the viewers as she seemed to put the blame on the victims of Weinstein.
In the interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she said,
“You need to have that Spidey sense or whatever it is that this is not right. When someone answers the door in a bathrobe, don’t go in that room. Or if you go in the room, get that role.”
Anderson was last seen in the movie named Alone at Night and in the documentary about her life Pamela, a Love Story.
