Back in August, Pamela talked about her decision to move away from Hollywood, telling Better Homes & Gardens that she “kind of gave up at some point” and felt she “needed a change” ahead of her move.
“I don’t know what happened over the last few decades, but I feel now so far removed from the image of who I was,” Pamela said, adding that she also “very sad and lonely” and “misunderstood.”
“I felt like I had really screwed up, that my whole life was a bundle of mistakes,” she said.
Pamela did not share what “mistakes” she thought she made, but she did describe what she believed people thought of her.
“People have this pneumatic kind of image of me from Playboy to Baywatch, to my rock ’n’ roll type of husbands, to everything else,” Pamela said. “But I also played into the image that was created around me. I’m glad I did all that, but I’m really glad I’m where I am now.”
Pamela recognized that she “made it through all of it,” concluding, “Now it’s such a relief that I get to be myself and enjoy this time.”
Earlier this year, it was announced that Pamela will be starring in the remake of a hit ’80s movie!
