There are so many fascinating layers to the Hulu limited series Pam & Tommy, from the wild love story of two celebrities, to the legal and moral crimes that were committed, to how everything lined up between a video, an obsession with celebrity culture, and the early days of the internet. Based on the true story of how a disgruntled contractor (Seth Rogen) decided to get revenge on the rock star who refused to pay for his work by stealing from him, finding himself in position of a very private VHS tape that went on to become a global sensation, and altering the lives of actress Pamela Anderson (Lily James) and Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee (Sebastian Stan) forever.
During this 1-on-1 interview with Collider, which you can both watch and read, James talked about how fully transformative the role was, doing all the research she could possibly do, the double standard in Hollywood and how that affects the portrayal of women in the media, how looked after she felt during the production, the importance of bringing Pamela Anderson to life in a real and authentic way, her moment of panic before shooting began, and the effect she hopes the series has on viewers.
