Pamela Anderson believes she battled depression for “a couple of decades.”

Pamela Anderson revealed she has been battling depression “for a few decades” despite her luxurious Hollywood career.

Anderson, 57, appeared at the Zurich Film Festival for the premiere of Gia Coppola’s “The Last Showgirl.” The actress’ career was recognized with the Golden Eye Award.

“I never thought I would be on stage and receive an award like this,” Anderson said at the Zurich Film Festival, Variety reported. “I just want to keep working. I look forward to doing more.”

“I look at it now and it feels like I went from ‘Baywatch’ to Broadway. I don’t know what happened in between, it’s all a big blur,” she said. “I’m just happy to be here at this moment because I think I’ve been suffering from depression for a couple of decades.”

After the release of Ryan White’s Pamela, a Love Story in 2023, Anderson experienced something of a career renaissance. That same year, Anderson published her memoir Love, Pamela.

“Ryan made this documentary and that’s how Gia saw me. “I always knew I was capable of more,” she explained. “It’s great to be part of pop culture, but it’s a blessing and a curse.”

“People fall in love with you because of a swimsuit. It took a long time, but I’m here.”

“What is this cartoon character I created? Okay, that was fun. But I’m not that person anymore.”
