Pamela Anderson has hit out at critics who slam her career as trite, insisting she has maintained "a certain grace" throughout. The actress and model maintains people who look beyond her screen work will be surprised at her depth and hardworking nature.

She says, "I know Baywatch was mindless. But it was a great show. You could turn it on half-way through any language and still be entertained. The fact is, I'm kind of proud of myself. I have the PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) projects, I'm a working soccer mom to my two boys and I try to do what I can in the community. I think I've been able to keep a certain grace about me even during times of disgrace and craziness which have swallowed me up in the past."
