Pamela Anderson

Pamela Anderson played C.J. Parker on the show from 1992 to 1997.

She was cast after a successful modelling career in which she had appeared on the cover of Playboy magazine.

Anderson was paid $1,500 per episode during the first season, but by the end of her five-season run on, she was making more than $300,000 per appearance. Pamela went on to enjoy a successful film career with roles in Barb Wire, Scary Movie 3 and Borat and made a cameo in the 2017 film version of Baywatch.

But it is her role as seasoned Las Vegas dancer Shelly Gardner in Gia Coppola's The Last Showgirl that has earned her critical acclaim as she approaches 60.
