Talented and vivacious Pamela Lee has begun to establish herself as one of the most popular actresses with international film and television audiences.

A native of Canada, Lee was born on Vancouver Island, and later moved to the city of Vancouver. It was while she attended a British Columbia Lions football game that Lee was ''discovered'' in a most unusual way. Dressed in a Labatt's Beer T-shirt, her image was transmitted on the stadium's wide screen. The fans cheered the beautiful girl, and she was brought down to the 50-yard line and introduced to the appreciative crowd.

As a result, she was signed to a commercial contract with Labatt's and became the company's ''Blue Zone'' girl. The campaign was so popular that other commercials and advertising assignments for Lee soon followed. Due to the recognition from these commercials she was soon approached to do her first cover for Playboy magazine. Pamela has since gone on to grace the cover an astounding five times, more than any other woman in the magazine's history.

With the success and recognition she garnered from Playboy, Lee soon moved to Los Angeles where she spent two seasons in the top-ten ABC Television hit series ''Home Improvement'' as Lisa, the Tool Time Girl. It was on ''Home Improvement'' that she captured the attention and affection of viewing audiences nationwide.

At the same time, Lee was cast as 'C.J. Parker' on the internationally successful series ''Baywatch,'' but because of the impossible schedule of working on two hit shows, she eventually left ''Home Improvement'' and remained full-time on ''Baywatch.'' She now stars on one of the most phenomenally popular television programs of all time, which is seen in 140 countries worldwide.

Recently, Lee made the transition into the feature film arena, starring in Dark Horse Entertainment's action comedy ''Barb Wire.'' Distributed by Gramercy Films, ''Barb Wire'' was released in the spring of 1996. In addition, Lee was featured in the CBS movie-of-the-week, ''Deader Than Ever,'' a hip and updated Mike Hammer mystery, co-starring Rob Estes. She recently co-starred in the television movie ''The Evolution of Mr. E.,'' adapted from the H.G. Wells short story, where she portrayed a quirky sculptor/artist.

Pamela is wed to Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee, and the couple recently welcomed the arrival of their first child Brandon Thomas on June 5, 1996.
