Actress Pamela Anderson (55) says she is looking forward to getting older. “I can’t wait to see myself old,” the Baywatch icon said on the Armchair Expert podcast. “I’ve always said that when I’m old, I’ll recognize myself in the mirror. I want to sort of let my hair go naturally gray, put on a little straw hat, don’t wear makeup.”

She probably owes this attitude to the fact that she never saw herself as “any kind of great beauty,” Anderson explained. “I think a lot of women who are sort of classically beautiful have a hard time aging.” The Canadian-born actress opens up about the tragedies of her life in both the new Netflix documentary Pamela: A Love Story and her memoir Love, Pamela, which was released Tuesday.
