We also caught up with Matthew Felker, the director of the new docuseries, who claimed Pamela had been open to participating ... until Hulu's "Pam & Tommy" series bothered her.

00:00I
00:02Know Pamela Anderson wasn't involved. Yeah, were you bombed? What was did she give you a reason why she didn't do it?
00:07We I mean we chased her for a long time
00:09I mean we understand we started this way before the Pam and Tommy thing on Hulu. We started this way before her documentary
00:16We talked to her people. We would never I mean say I live in Malibu. It's very very small
00:22I used to live in the Paradise Cove trailer park four doors down from her so she's around. It's a small community
00:29And you know, we tried really hard and it was during the pandemic and she had been in Canada
00:33and I think she was open to it and
00:35Then the Pam and Tommy thing came out which kind of jarred her and then she had this big
00:39Opportunity as a rebuttal to tell her side of the story and it makes sense
00:43Like why am I gonna give that to you? I'm gonna go do my own thing. And my thing was you can do both
00:50Her son Brandon managed is her and I called Brandon. I'm like, hey, this is Matt and he goes click
00:56Oh wow
00:58That was that was our last sort of yeah
01:02Effort and we had like a couple months and I just said, you know, if she really wants to get involved to be great
01:06Yeah, we would love for her to really curate her own story. Yeah
01:10And he had no interest so we tried any message for her now
01:14She's great. And you know, we we hope we we
01:18Told her story correctly and in the best way we could and we hope she's happy with it. Yeah, so yeah
01:23Everyone loves her the whole cast loves her. Yeah, I think the cast was more bummed
01:28Than anything the cat the cast I think felt a little letdown that she didn't do it. Yeah, it's very family
01:33so they're like why you know, we're a family and
01:35you know families are dysfunctional and they come apart and they come together and they really felt this was a time that
01:41Everyone could kind of come together for this kind of one last send-off type
01:44I mean, this is a you know, it's a 30-something year old brand. I mean how much longer we can be talking about Baywatch?
