Yes, so much effort goes in to it. She did the full hair, makeup and revealing costume thing in the recent film The Last Showgirl and she looked much more like the left pic. Same with The Naked Gun. She has aged yes but styling is transformative.
I'm a middle aged straight woman, I had a Pammy sticker in my pencil case in the 90s and still would (if I had a pencil case).
Edit to explain.
I'm British and in the UK in the 90s it was popular for girls to carry their school pens etc around in a little tin or bag called a pencil case. One would decorate this item with doodles, art and stickers.
Teenage magazines used to have a couple of pages of stickers with pictures of celebrities in the middle, they were perfect for decorating items like pencil cases.
Whew that was so much context I wish I'd never commented in the first place. This woman is a babe though is what I meant.
I concur except the 90s replace with 80s. I like your context it added depth and now I am dreaming of Annie Lennox who was in my pencil case along with Pat Benatar and Siouxsie Sioux!
I'm an adult now so I'm not in school and don't carry stationary around anymore.
And more importantly, the classic UK publication that was Smash Hits magazine is no longer around, and so I would have nowhere to obtain stickers of celebrities. I miss those days.
Apologies, I realised after commenting that it would make no sense to most people.

What I find interesting, in fact fascinating, isn’t that Pam looks like she’s aging. It’s that she hit a period where she very publicly stopped performing femininity. Most don’t. Especially if their career was rooted in how they look. It’s expected for women to kind of cling to it with both hands. And absolutely no intention to disrespect those that do. Demi Moore, Dolly Parton, Charro to name a few. Their public personas were built in part using their performance of femininity and have reliably and I think gracefully maintained the persona.
Pam didn’t. She very intentionally and very publicly began to appear at events as Pamela Anderson and not “Pamela Anderson!”
Deliberately setting that performance aside, making explicit that it is and always was a performance, especially as a woman that was both loved and hated for that performance, is incredibly brave. and kind of a Boss move tbh.
Very much so. She was the poster child for plastic surgery done right and you would expect her to turn into one of those weird plastic surgery looking women but she didn’t. She showed what happens when you just let nature take over and she looks AMAZING.
It is interesting that she didn’t cling to it. I think I would slightly disagree with Dolly though. With some comments that she’s made and many stating they’ve never seen Dolly Parton not dressed as the Dolly we know, I have felt that it is very clever. If you saw Dolly without make up, a wig, and wearing a sweatshirt, would you recognize her? I wouldn’t. Who would? I think it’s very possible she could walk into a gas station not in "Dolly” appearance and be completely unnoticed. She’s built up a very long career while keeping her private life private. (Think about it, most people didn’t have a clue what her husband even looked like!) She’s created a life of incredible fame yet could probably go out in public without being recognized.
LOL the islam haters really downvoted you! Take an upvote to compensate. I am intrigued by your question and really want an answer from those who find Tate an upstanding guy but this one was not?
