It now seems that Anderson wants to set a few records straight as she had teamed up with Netflix to release a documentary for the streamer about her life, allowing the 54-year-old to tell her story in her way. The news of the venture came from Anderson herself, who shared an image as her only post on her Instagram account, which showed a handwritten list of what to expect from the documentary.
The image, which was headed up with Netflix’s name, it reads, “My Life. A thousand imperfections. A million misconceptions. Wicked, wild and lost. Nothing to live up to. I can only surprise you – not a victim, but a survivor. Alive to tell the real story.” The note then is finished off with the actress’ signature and a lipstick kiss.
The documentary will be directed by Ryan White, and the currently untitled project will see Netflix being given exclusive access to Anderson’s personal achieve footage collection and journals to bring to the world a definitive look at the actress who became best known for wearing a red swimsuit in Baywatch, and that video with husband, Tommy Lee. After being the subject of media headlines for decades, appearing on numerous editions of Playboy magazine and being given the kind of reputation that brought in the 1990s, Anderson is now seemingly ready to show the world who she really is.
