Los Angeles, March 24 : Baywatch icon and once sex symbol of America, Pamela Anderson has revealed that her two part Netflix documentary shall also feature a look at her Broadway debut in the musical “Chicago.” The 54 year old actress appeared on “Good Morning America” and opened up on her role as the lead of the musical, Roxie Hart and the new documentary. “They’re actually following me through this journey, so they get to see a little bit of me preparing for Roxie as well,” the “Baywatch” actress said of the docu-series. “But we weren’t intending on doing that. Roxie just came along literally in the last few weeks.” The show’s producer Barry Weissler had previously called the Baywatch icon about her role “just a few weeks ago.” “How can you say no to him?” Anderson joked about her conversation with the producer. “It was just so outrageous, I thought. And it’s good timing. My kids are grown … so now I feel like it’s time. I need a challenge. I need to do something. I needed this. I’ve been gone for a little while and I’m back to the challenge.” Anderson revealed that while playing the role of Roxie has been a challenging affair, she’s enjoying the feeling of a challenge and that she’s “surprising” herself with the rigorous amount of singing and dancing involved. “I like that kind of dangerous, crazy feeling that you can’t do something, and then you surprise yourself. Maybe you don’t know what you’re capable of until you try it,” she said. “So that’s what I’m really curious about: What can I actually do? Because I kind of haven’t applied myself too much in my life except for my children.” Anderson also explained that she felt a personal connection to the role, which almost “feels a little parallel” to her own life. “I feel like this seems very meant to be. The role is so great,” she told GMA. “The media is so powerful and it’s really kind of — it’s just interesting how it’s affected my life. You just got to make the most of what you got. You got to make the most of any opport ty, and sometimes things will seem like a bad thing; you can turn it into a good thing.” “I just feel like this is really a moment for me to shine for once,” she said later. “I’m doing this for myself, which is rare.” News of Anderson’s Chicago casting, which will see her star in the long-running Broadway musical from April to June, came just five days after Netflix announced it was teaming with the actress on a documentary that would “tell her story” through never-before-seen archival and journalistic material in addition to interviews with Anderson.
