Why no Erika Eleniak?


She's much classier, more naturally attractive, and had a better film career than Pamela Anderson (I'll take E.T. and Under Siege, even The Beverly Hillbillies, over Barb Wire and Scary Movie 3 any day). Plus, she was the show's first major female lead.

They should have given Erika a cameo instead.

The massive gap in fame/notoriety between Pamela and Erika, you can understand their reasoning. (Actually, I can, I'm doubtful about YOU.)

Whoever invented ignore lists is an unsung genius.

Yeah but Pamela is kind of trashy. She seems to be a decent, nice enough person, but she's not very classy.

reply

I used to like Erika but dude, compare aerika with Pam is ridicilous. Pam is stunning women with more fame and succes than Erika. Erika was cool 30 years ago, but now she don't look not even close to her Baywatch days

reply

I think Erika is more wholesome-looking than Pamela and more of a natural beauty. Most of these Baywatch women had cosmetic surgery but Erika doesn't seem so defined by her surgical enhancements as Pamela is. Plus she doesn't seem to be so skinny and so her breasts seem less fake.

Erika has aged better than Pam because she aged gracefully than trying to look like a cheap s*x doll and Erika is famous for films and shows when yet on the other hand Pam is only more famous by some cheap s*x tape. Plus Erika left Baywatch because she doesn't like to be seen as a sex symbol which makes her not trashy minded when yet Pam stayed on the show busy getting surgeries and like to be seen with her b00bs bouncing up and down in slow-motion...so I agree with other people here...she's just trashy.

Maybe she wasn't interested in being in the movie?

reply

She's old. in Hollywood's eyes.

reply

Ironically Pamela is two years older than Erika.

reply

Erika is way much better...better natural looking and more successful roles indeed...when on the other hand Pam only got more famous by a sex tape....to me that's not inspiring.

reply

Still Pamela is much more famous. Only a few guys in my country know Erika, but everyone knows Pamela, including women.
