Pamela Anderson Finds Peace in Her Quiet Canadian Life
WHO:
New York Post - Pamela Anderson, identified as 59, is a “Baywatch” icon and the subject of the article.
New York Post - Anderson has two sons, Brandon and Dylan, with her ex-husband Tommy Lee.
New York Post - Vancouver designer Francesca Albertazzi led the renovation project; builder Dan Hayhurst later married Anderson.
Drudge Report - The headline describes Anderson’s new life of “peaceful solitude” in Canada.
WHAT:
New York Post - Anderson shared a video of a quiet morning at her Vancouver Island estate: she put on a sweater, walked outside with her dog, picked flowers, read a book, showed her garden basket and skincare product, and took a sunrise walk along her dock.
New York Post - The book was “Amor and Psyche: The Psychic Development of the Feminine.” Anderson said, “I’ve read this book so many times.”
New York Post - A card inside the book read, “There’s nothing to worry about,” and Anderson replied, “True.”
New York Post - Anderson’s basket held pruning shears, her glasses and moisturizer from Sonsie, her vegan skincare brand. She said, “I love the garden after it’s rained.”
New York Post - The property includes a main house called “The Roadhouse,” Anderson’s childhood cabin, rose and vegetable gardens, a porch and a long private pier.
New York Post - Anderson’s Malibu property sale brought in $11.8 million; the article describes this as roughly a $10 million gain over the $1.8 million she paid for the lot, excluding construction costs.
New York Post - Hulu’s “Pamela’s Garden of Eden” follows Anderson’s departure from Hollywood and restoration of her family land.
New York Post - Anderson and Hayhurst married on the property and later split; Anderson filed for divorce in Canada.
New York Post - Anderson said she was happy spending time “on my own with my dogs and my vegetables and the trees and the ocean.”
WHERE:
New York Post - Anderson’s estate is in Ladysmith, British Columbia, a coastal town where she was born, on Vancouver Island.
New York Post - Anderson described her sustainable ranch as beachfront, “One foot away from the water.”
WHEN:
New York Post - Anderson’s grandparents bought the roughly 6-acre parcel in the 1950s; Anderson bought it from them in the early ’90s.
New York Post - Anderson bought the Malibu beachfront lot in 2000, listed the home in March 2021 for $14.9 million, and sold it six months later for $11.8 million.
New York Post - Anderson returned to live on the island full time in 2019; she and Hayhurst married on the property on Christmas Eve 2020 and separated little more than a year later.
WHY:
New York Post - Anderson said she returned to the property to “rewrite my life,” calling the restoration “like an art project” that “really took my heart and soul.”
New York Post - Anderson said the island keeps her grounded and helps her maintain “a little bit of my sanity” and “a little bit of my feet on the ground.”
HOW:
New York Post - Anderson funded her return in part with proceeds from selling her Malibu home, which she had spent roughly ten years building after buying the lot.
New York Post - The Vancouver Island restoration was led by Francesca Albertazzi and documented in Hulu’s “Pamela’s Garden of Eden.”
