Pamela Anderson will speak her truth. In March, Netflix first announced that the 55-year-old actress “is ready to tell her story in a new documentary,” and on Tuesday, the streaming service shared the doc’s release date along with some rare, candid photos of the star.

Pamela, a love story will premiere on Jan. 31, and is produced by Jessica Hargrave (Ask Dr. Ruth, The Keepers), Julia Nottingham (Kingdom of Us) and Anderson’s oldest son, 26-year-old Brandon Thomas Lee.

The doc promises to be an “intimate and humanizing portrait of one of the world’s most famous blonde bombshells,” and will follow the trajectory of Anderson’s “life and career from small town girl to international sex symbol, actress, activist and doting mother.”

In addition to the release date, new pics of Anderson show her at different stages of her life, including an image of her kissing one of her sons as a baby, another of her rehearsing in a dance studio, and yet another of her looking contemplative while on a beach.

When the project, directed by Ryan White (Ask Dr. Ruth, The Keepers), was first announced, Netflix said in a statement that Pamela, a love story “has been in the making for several years, and will feature the pop culture icon setting the record straight as she looks back on her professional path and her personal journey.”

Pamela Anderson is ready to share her full story with fans in her intimate new documentary Pamela, A Love Story — but she won’t be watching it herself. “The documentary I haven’t seen – and have no intention of seeing,” she confirmed in an interview to Vanity Fair. The film includes content from her own personal archives, including plenty of never before seen videos and photos from her past romances, work projects like Baywatch and her Broadway Chicago run, as well as children Brandon, 26, and Dylan, 24.

“I gave full access to my archives and diaries, and hope that it makes sense to somebody,” she also told the Conde Nast publication. “I hope that my story inspires people to have a great f***ing time and not worry so much,” she added pointedly.

The documentary, directed by Mike White, was confirmed last March via Instagram shortly after Hulu’s Pam & Tommy streamed. In a letter, the British Columbia native described herself as “not a victim, but a survivor, alive to tell the real story.” Beyond the film, the animal activist and philanthropist will also release a memoir called Love, Pamela.

The Hulu series specifically focused on her relationship with ex-husband Tommy Lee and the events surrounding the theft, sale and eventual publication of her private sex videos with the Mötley Crüe drummer. Pamela was not involved in the series which starred Lily James and Sebastian Stan as the iconic ’90s couple, and the producers were able to obtain rights to the story by optioning a Rolling Stone article from 2004 about the sale of the sex tape by Rand Gauthier (played by Seth Rogen in Hulu’s series).
