Key Points
Carmen Electra is aiming for a comeback similar to her Baywatch costar Pamela Anderson.
In a new interview, Electra shared she is “holding nothing back” with her upcoming documentary and book.
Electra, who appeared in the opening scene of the original Scary Movie and returned for 2006’s Scary Movie 4, makes a cameo in the latest reboot-sequel.
Carmen Electra is praising Pamela Anderson for her recent comeback — with hopes for the same herself.
Electra said she is “really happy” for her Baywatch costar’s revival, which began with the release of her Netflix documentary and memoir in 2023 and then landing the leading role in 2024’s The Last Showgirl, which earned the 1990s icon her first-ever Golden Globes nomination.
“It seems like she’s doing everything she wants to do,” Electra told PEOPLE in a recent interview, adding, “Now I feel like it’s time for my edgy role! It’s definitely time.”

Along with Electra’s cameo in the sequel-reboot for Scary Movie, which she told Entertainment Weekly was “just a whirlwind” to film, the actress is both working on a documentary and a book.
Explaining she is “holding nothing back” when it comes to both projects, the Good Burger 2 actress said she knows the process will be “tough” but also “really beautiful at the same time.” Electra added that it’s taken her “a long time to get to this place,” and there was added pressure once Anderson came out with her doc Pamela, A Love Story.
“I know when Pamela came out with her documentary, everyone wanted me to do it, but I just wasn’t there yet. And now I’m completely ready,” Electra shared.
Anderson’s documentary, directed by Ryan White, featured all-new interviews with Anderson along with archival footage and her personal writings. The doc followed criticism from the actress over Hulu’s limited series Pam & Tommy, which starred Lily James and Sebastian Stan as Anderson and Tommy Lee. Anderson was not involved nor gave permission for the project, and upon its release, called the crew behind the series, which included executive producer and star Seth Rogen, “a–holes.”

As for whether Electra will follow Anderson’s trend of not wearing any makeup for red carpet appearances, her response was a quick “hell no.”
“Listen, I would do it for a film. I would do it for a TV series. If it’s for a role, I would do it. But I love my makeup and I’m a glam girl, 100% glamazon,” Electra said.
