Pamela Anderson

The 'Baywatch' star was candid in saying she contracted Hepatitis C from a tattoo needle she shared with her ex-husband, Motley Crue rocker Tommy Lee, in an interview with Jane magazine in 2002.

After 16 years of thinking she would die - after doctors told her she only had 10 years to live after diagnosis - Pamela told People magazine in November 2015 that she underwent further treatment for Hepatitis C and was now cured of the disease.

She said: "I think anyone struggling with a disease that they say you can live with is still — it still plays into a lot of your decisions in your life. Twenty years ago they told me I would die in 10 years. And 10 years into that, they told me I would be able to live with it and probably die of something else, but it all was very scary stuff."
