Pamela Anderson is grateful to be alive.
“My experience propelled me forward, and I hope it can be of some inspiration,” she said onstage at the amfAR Gala Venezia 2026 on Sept. 6, per video shared by Variety. “Back in the late ’90s, when I was diagnosed with Hepatitis C, there was no cure.”
Anderson—who shares sons Brandon, 30, and Dylan, 28, with ex-husband Tommy Lee—quipped that her seemingly terminal illness may have led to some reckless choices, saying, “I’m sure that colored and corrupted my decisions.”
