Actress Pamela Anderson is set to unveil her autobiography, "Love, Pamela," on January 31st, but her ex-husband, film producer Jon Peters, has made a surprising revelation in the lead-up to its release. In a recent interview with Variety, Peters, 77, announced that he has left a sum of $10 million in his will to Anderson, 55, with whom he was married for only 12 days.
A Surprising Union
In January 2020, Peters and Anderson shocked the entertainment industry when they announced their surprise nuptials. Peters, who has produced films such as "A Star is Born" and "Superman Returns," had previously been married to Anderson in the 1980s, but the couple had been estranged for decades.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Peters spoke of his admiration for Anderson, stating, "Pamela has never seen her full potential as an artist. She has yet to shine in a real way. There is much more to her than meets the eye, or I wouldn't love her so much.
There are beautiful girls everywhere. I could have my pick, but — for 35 years — I've only wanted Pamela. She makes me wild — in a good way. She inspires me. I protect her and treat her the way she deserves to be treated." However, their union was short-lived, with the couple spending only five days together after their wedding in Malibu, and Anderson spending half of their marriage in Canada.
The couple ultimately decided to separate, with Anderson releasing a statement saying, "We would be very grateful for your support as we take some time apart to reevaluate what we want from life and from one another. Life is a journey and love is a process.
With that universal truth in mind, we have mutually decided to put off the formalization of our marriage certificate and put our faith in the process. Thank you for respecting our privacy." A Generous Gesture Despite the brevity of their marriage, Peters has revealed that he still holds Anderson in high regard, stating in his interview with Variety, "I will always love Pamela, always in my heart.
As a matter of fact, I left her $10 million in my will. And she doesn't even know that. Nobody knows that. I'm just saying it for the first time with you. I probably shouldn't be saying it. So that's for her, whether she needs it or not." Anderson, for her part, has also spoken fondly of Peters, saying, "He's great and has been a huge influence on my life.
I love him to death." Along with the book, a documentary of the same name has been signed by Netflix. The documentary promises to be a candid look into the life of the actress, delving into her rise to fame, her personal relationships, and her philanthropic endeavors.
As the release date for "Love, Pamela" approaches, it remains to be seen how Anderson will respond to Peters' generous gesture and whether their relationship will continue to evolve.
