Lets not be cynical there are depths to former Baywatch star Pamela Anderson that her other, more documented qualities get in the way of. For instance, her staunch veganism and committed animal rights campaigning. Equally, her quiet career as a novelist. Thus far shes penned two novels based on the life of Star Wood Leigh, a fictional character whose life none the less has much in common with the authors. In the first novel, blonde bombshell Star goes from working in a tanning salon to modelling in magazines and indulging in all the benefits that accompany fame, while sequel Star Struck sees her tackle the darker side of fame before deciding that a humdrum life aint actually all that bad. The novels were surprisingly well written and generally well received, leading Anderson to issue a poetry collection entitled Patches of Life in 2005.
