"Centennial Baby" as she was the first child born after the Centennial

 

celebration of Canada.  And after she was discovered at that football game

 

her life picked up pace and was never the same again.  The public eye had it

 

out for her and the nationwide public grew aware of her through her Baywatch

 

character, C.J. 

 

     The beach loves her, the nationwide public loves her, and so

 

does the tabloids.  To be American Icon status one must have controversial

 

issues surrounding something about them and Pamela has had her share which

 

have been blown up by the media coverage of them which just made her into

 

an even bigger star and in the long run an icon. 

    

     From her start as being part of media advertisements to now every move

 

she makes being published in the tabloids or shown for entertainment pieces of

 

the news Pamela Anderson is a prime example of what and how the media

 

can make and break an American Icon.
