With her no-make-up look, Pamela Anderson is campaigning for women to be allowed to age with dignity. On Drew Barrymore's talk show, the former "Baywatch" mermaid even managed to get the presenter to fully embrace the concept of "natural beauty". To the shock of the studio audience, Barrymore suddenly started pulling her hair in the middle of the interview.

"Sorry, but if we're really going to be completely honest here," she interrupted her guest. Then Barrymore suddenly had her hair extensions in her hand, which she threw back. 

Horror gives way to admiration
The 49-year-old revealed that her hair had thinned out considerably as a symptom of the onset of her menopause and that she had previously concealed this with the extensions. Anderson, who looked a little horrified at first, burst out laughing: "Oh my goodness, how wonderful! Yes, that's right, leave them out, you don't need them." The 57-year-old then cheered the presenter up even more: "You still have a lot of hair left and it's beautiful. It's good hair, not bad!"

All studio guests without make-up
Anderson was not the only one to appear "topless" - i.e. without make-up. As a prerequisite for the episode, all studio guests (90 percent women) also had to come without make-up. Of course, Barrymore also adhered to this, much to Pam's delight.

After retiring from Hollywood, the former Playmate "took off my mask", which "opened up a whole new world" for her. What she thinks when she sees old glamor photos of herself: "I see this cartoon character that I created myself. It was really fun back then, but I'm not the same person anymore!" Since she swore off make-up in June 2023, she has received more praise from other women than ever before.

In a story in "Better Homes & Gardens" magazine, she revealed: "I often get stopped on the street and told: 'I didn't like you before, but now I do.' I hope there's a compliment hidden in that sentence!"
