The Quentin Tarantino movie Pamela Anderson “self-sabotaged” her way out of: “I stood him up!” Quentin Tarantino has made a habit of plucking Hollywood’s fallen stars and forgotten faces from big-screen obscurity and parachuting them into his movies, and Pamela Anderson was once on the list. In this case, those dramatic chops would have been unnecessary because you get the sneaking suspicion that Tarantino had no intention of providing Anderson with a showcase. Anderson was apprehensive, though, because she wasn’t sure she wanted to be “slaughtered, ripped apart, and killed” onscreen, in case her children saw it. I couldn’t believe Tarantino wanted to meet me.
