In recent months, Pamela Anderson has become the leader of the no makeup movement, showing up to red carpet events, premieres, fashion shows and everything in between rocking a totally bare face. Now in her second act, the Canadian-American actress and model is nowhere close to slowing down, starring in blockbuster films and taking part in her first-ever hair-care campaign at age 57. Today, though, our favorite Playboy bunny turns 58, and while she’s paring it back as of late, we’ve rounded up some of her most iconic, larger-than-life beauty moments over the years to celebrate her new year.
