Pamela Anderson’s Closet Picks

[@ChrisGabeEnd02]

I love that we now get to see her true self after all the years of being told who she was. She finally gets to show everyone who she's always been. So happy for her!

[@twittertwice]

Remember, she wasn’t a victim, she was complicit with Hollywood and she just grew out of it, which most of us do if your brain stays intact

@@twittertwice Not a victim, a survivor. Complicit or not.

Pamela is a great freedom fighter who worked to release Australian journalist-laureate, JULIAN ASSANGE, after Pompeo and Clinton attempted to have him mvrdered (on record.)

[@bluemooninthedaylight8073]

@@twittertwice What a weirdly dismissive and unempathetic thing to say. Many women were pressured in Hollywood to play the ditzy blonde and got treated badly. Marilyn Monroe, for one, was very troubled and exploited. In Japan, idols [young women pop singers/actors] are expected to act naïve and innocent while also being sex symbols. Their management contracts often prohibit them from being themselves and from dating others, lest they get fired. Are they complicit? Yes, but they also have fewer avenues into show business in a sexist, male-dominated world.

[@ajtaylor8750]

*"Thank God for Criterion."* You're damn right, Pamela. Can't wait to see her new film next year.

[@benmcfee]

She''s not only refined, and intelligent, she's one of the bravest celebrities out there. She stuck up for journalism when it was not at all safe to do so. There are not words for the amount of respect I have for this woman!

[@Luke_E_Babyy]

It is beautiful to see what is happening with her.

[@lexotansteele2755]

Imagine if in the '90s someone told you that Pamela Anderson would age more gracefully than the vast majority of Hollywood celebrities, would receive a Golden Globe nomination for best actress in a drama and would be seriously considered for an Oscar... I liked her during her Baywatch years as a sex symbol, now I like her because she seems like a very cool person.

[@ericwinick8296]

And gush over a Bergman box set

[@lavoielactee7179]

The writers for Futurama knew: "Hello, Fry. Remember me from Baywatch the Movie? It was the first movie to be shot entirely in slow-motion." "It hasn't been made yet." "Then he doesn't know I won the Oscar?" "Nope." "Crap!"

[@lilyvonshtuup]

I remember seeing her on cribs waaay back. She had this little modest cottage on the beach. Very homey floral designs and clearly occupied by her kids. She seemed very down to earth and quite solitary.

[@mikelippenkrantz]

She now seems like a super cool aunt you can't wait to see over the holidays.

[@ginsoakedgirl4]

She's also a longtime vegan & animal rights activist 😍

[@FlyingGunman00]

I know she acknowledges that some people may not think of her as particularly refined, but I knew going in that she was going to have a very special movie taste. Just felt like it.

[@bananasayswhat]

A stunt only for image sake.

[@FlyingGunman00]

@@bananasayswhat She's 57 years old. What an incredible stunt for her to pretend to like obscure movies on a movie channel dedicated to obscure movies. That'll really make people forget about the bimbo image. Read back what you're writing, man.

Criterion closet bringing the heat with these guests lately. Love it!!!!

[@rodtaylor5476]

She seems to be the sweetest person. Happy for her and her comeback.

[@TMJW]

I enjoyed sharing this moment with her - my favourite closets are when someone is genuinely excited to find a film they love and realize they get to take it home

[@gregsthrottle]

Been in love with Pamela for thirty years, so it's nice to see her be able to fully 'bloom' into her truest, highest self. What a kind, intelligent angel (with stellar taste, to boot! Summertime is one of my favorites and I hope she gets to create a movie in that vein some day!).

[@_ma1]

Thrilled for her ❤

[@penbucket]

"I can have this!?!" What an absolute delight. I'm so excited for her to be back acting. I hope she has many successful years ahead.

[@aprilblackregentart6647]

She is so precious! And the shoutout to Lynch and Persona!

[@chaplinsgirl]

Love her passion for movies and watching her geek out in the closet. Her picks are awesome!

[@aliyenyoka9487]

Hell yeah I hope we get Barb Wire on Criterion. No joke I love that movie

[@pferreira1983]

That could be awesome.

[@velvetclaw2316]

Her choice of films is absolutely flawless !

[@noyd4172]

I love the closet picks but this is the first one where I'm itching to watch a movie or several afterwards. Her enthusiasm is infectious.

[@HomiliaTV]

I absolutely adore every moment I looked at her, and this style omg

[@lisar3944]

I have to say this: she looks SO GOOD! Just as her natural damned self. I always had the sense that she was pretty cool under all that packaging and it seems she's finally letting that out. You go, Pamela!!!

[@TheBroverman]

Pam knows her stuff!

[@serendipityguy]

[@Rachel-sv9pq]

[@TheEvanLewis71]

Its so unexpected and awesome that she’s having a Pammyssance in her later years.

[@Sk84lifeeveryday]

The most unexpected invitee to the closet ever and im totally here for it! Loving this new era of Pam.

[@g0lddustt29]

Last Showgirl was really really great. Love seeing her have this resurgence as a "serious" actress

[@bored1ca]

This was truly unexpected but I'm happy to see this side of her. This persona is so subtle and she seems comfortable and happy here. Oh and her film choices were amazing. :)

[@brandonjackson9047]

Comments expressing surprise or shock precisely underpin the profound power of her "comeback" - it isn't a comeback at all, it's the whole world getting to know the actual person that was there all along that we were tricked into not seeing. Loving this, loving her and loving her quiet but persistent dismantling of the assumptions that surrounded her.

[@Sea_witch_]

i love her so much, always believed in her, a chameleon. And seeing Pam now as she is with all that innocence and glow warms my heart beyond words, I can only smile.

[@stamoth]

Mad props to her for aging naturally and gracefully.

[@taecyeonhow9184]

At least she looks and feels like a human, unlike Nicole Kidman😅

[@mmayer1558]

@anthonyparkinson4517 it's Starspasm, as in having a spasm because you are happy for a star, shining emollient in the sky like a twinkly eye

[@eelponna3145]

She’s had loads of work including even ribs removed for a slender waistline. But at least she seems to have abandoned that typical LA stupidity now and doesn’t even wear makeup these days. I think she’s better off without the plastic surgery and is better off celebrating her natural beauty.

[@BabyBowDingBall]

@@anthonyparkinson4517why would it be? She looks her age and it’s refreshing. Everyone else her age anywhere near her level of fame looks like they’re trying to be 25 forever and it’s very sad.

Pamela Anderson? The one from Baywatch? The one that got captured by Borat? Awesome. Happy to see her making a big comeback. And love her movie choices.

[@joaoflintino]

Didn’t she get caught in like a sex tape? We shouldn’t be celebrating this

[@tommyt1971]

I give her all the credit for doing that gag with Sacha Baron Cohen in Borat. It was outrageous and they both played it perfectly!

[@anthonymunn8633]

​@@tommyt1971and according to her,she didn't tell her husband Kid Rock,so when he saw the scene,he flipped out and dumped her.

I never would’ve guessed Pamela Anderson would be so damn entertaining in the CC and her selection of films speak to her knowledge of film. Seeing her through a new lens

[@maxpaynethehero]

She was so good in The Last Showgirl. So glad to see her in the criterion closet. She is genuinely so happy.

[@ZeroApostle4Ever]

Having spent a whole year watching/reading the contents of that Bergman set, it's WILD that you could just be handed a set that dense and exhaustive for free to take home. What a gift!

[@5150puddin]

That was nice to see. A short and sweet selection video from someone that wasn't trying to prove themselves to you and lecture you in the process. Good job Pam!

[@Fraggle-h7o]

Pam was always a wonderful part of any project she was in. Always charismatic and charming and a total standout.

[@DanJorgenson-zc5xi]

A great surprise! Pamela's picks shows excellent taste and knowledge about the history of cinema. Bergman box speaks loud.

[@alan_core]

I wasn't expecting this... 😮

[@Arseguardian]

So nice to see Pamela get to flourish again. Long overdue after all the entertainment she offered us through the years.

[@AE1P]

As an obsessive Bergman fan I felt that "I can have this??" in my soul 😂

[@christenzis6237]

Can we please do a whole show of Ms. Anderson talking cinema???

[@Cadinho93]

I am hoping she wins best actress for the upcoming Golden Globes for The Last Showgirl. She deserves to win! Also, excellent Criterion choices. She has always been a film buff and you would be surprised of her film knowledge. She's smarter than you think!

[@OuterGalaxyLounge]

Amazing film.

[@Bringmethehorizondude]

I’m just happy to see a human getting to be her most true self. I’m sure she always tried and wanted to be her self in some sense, but these days she’s not letting anything get in the way and it’s really awesome to see.

[@DudeinGA]

Growing up in the 1990s, I would never suspect that Pamela Anderson, who was the eye of many young men's fantasies, was an Ingmar Bergman and Katharine Hepburn fan.

[@l1vg1rl]

the way i actually screamed when she said her fav scene in elevator to the gallows

[@mmayer1558]

Elevator To The Gallows is good but I like Escalator To The Giallos

[@mkrtoo]

I think she snagged more films than any one I seen in the closet...Kudos Pamela. Another reason to admire and love her!

is it possible to love Pamela Anderson any more after watching this video? 😍

[@MrFreedomGotAnAK]

My eyes would light up the same way if someone handed me that Bergman boxset.

[@tommyt1971]

One of my first picks would be the Godzilla collection -- you should've seen the way my eyes bugged out when I got it as an Xmas present! I was NOT expecting it to be a small, atlas-sized book with all that cool artwork!

I might have said to myself, "What is she doing in the closet?", but by the second or third pick, I was happy to see her there and by the end of the video, she won me over. From her picks she a Marilyn Monroe quality to her persona. Now I'm on the lookout for THE LAST SHOWGIRL. Thanks, Pam, welcome to the closet and enjoy your picks. They are all great. From her picks she a Marilyn Monroe quality to her persona.

[@SwiftFoxProductions]

I would absolutely support a remake of "Summertime" with Pamela!! Or, probably more accurately, another movie adaptation of "The Time of the Cuckoo" (since it was a play first). If not another movie version, it would be really cool to see Pam do the original play on Broadway. I think she'd be really great if they ever did a revival of it.
