We all know that Pamela’s dad was a furnace repairer in Canada and so she belonged to a family which has not so financially sound. When she rose to fame and earned a lot of money…she certainly was happier than what she used to be. Clearly she was a professional and money was a necessity.
She confesses,
“Well, I had kind of a poor upbringing and my mother and father used to say: “Oh, if we only had this, everything would be better.” I started to think that way too. I used to think: “Boy, if we only had money, everyone would be happy.” And then you realise that to make money there’s a certain innocence you have to give up. You really have to sacrifice a lot, and I would not wish that on my family at all. People take advantage of you - I’ve learnt this. I came here by myself, from Canada to Los Angeles, without my family, without any business people in my life, coming to do photos for Playboy and signing my life away every time I did anything. You don’t realise what you’re signing or doing and you have a naivety about you until you get screwed, or someone doesn’t pay you an suddenly they’re holding you to ransom. You realise you’re in this cut-throat business and you have to survive somehow, so all of a sudden you become this business woman. You have to be mean to people and start demanding things. It’s difficult, it’s very difficult. “
Leaving her ridiculously oversize bust out…the woman has struggled a lot to come to the point where she stands now…successful, famous and happy!
