No, she's just the most popular and recognized beauty since Marilyn Monroe. Oh wait, it was her acting that got her to where she's at 
I get YOU may not think she's great, but come on.
It was because of Playboy putting her on the cover and young men seeing a blonde chick with mind blowing cleavage, and a ton of make up. I state my case, if the girl was soooo blazing hot, she would have won Playmate of the year, which Hugh personally picks. She was a girl next door type, Renee was the hot one. Renee didn't go further, because let's face it, a hot black chick with natural Ds is not gonna go as far as blonde with implants. There is a certain stigma attached to both, one negative, the other positive. Pam has a good base, ie, high cheeckbones, small nose, oval face, smallish eyes. Other than that, she is average body wise, with a flat ass.
I too was trapped in the Baywatch Beauty trap, but I still thought Renee was the blazing one. I began at the beginning questioning, "if she is so hot, why didn't she win?", well the media made her hot, and the more you saw her image, the more people thought she was the shit, it was subliminal marketing at it's finest. Now, all these women think that they can do is get some implants and dye their hair blond and then they are the shit. There was even a Playboy Pam Anderson Clone that was a Playboy Book of Lingerie Model, her name was Neriah Davis. And dudes feed into that bullshit. Which is why we have the low quality plastic chicks now all in porn, in the strip club, and walking the street. They are akin to putting a Ferrari 250 GTO on a Datsun
260 Z, still a Datsun underneath, you can't fool me.
