Pam & Tommy

Sam Levinson’s upcoming show The Idol touts itself as “the sleaziest love story in all of Hollywood”. But in the year of Blonde, Pam & Tommy and a post-Roe United States, any story that claims to be the pinnacle of sleaze faces stiff – no pun intended – competition.

The gripping but polarising mini-series was made without Pamela Anderson’s blessing. But actress-turned-director Bell, herself a victim of a nude photo theft, felt Pammy's story was too prescient not to tell.
