Who was more beautiful in their prime: Anna Nicole Smith or Pamela Anderson?

ANS

Pam, hands down.

Pam. A natural beauty. AN needed makeup and lots of it.

Pam. Here's pre-glam Pam pictured in 1993.

1991 on Home Improvement.

Anna.

Beautiful? These blow up dolls? Honey, check yourself for COVID - you have no taste.

R3 what all do you think was wrong with Anna's face? Just wondering.

Why the sudden Anna Nicole Smith threads? Is her estate trying to hype her again?

They are both "raped-out, drugged out old dyed haired plastic cum dumpster" And the fat, stupid one is dead!!

In their prime?

From what I've observed, this must mean when they were seven.

Let's call it a tie.

Pam, but she destroyed her looks very early on with plastic surgery. She was naturally very beautiful, but had already wrecked her looks by the time she appeared on Baywatch.

Pam... You can fit Canada, Alaska& the Rocky Mountains inside her "stretched-out loose vadge" and still have room for Tommy Lee's dick and the NFL.

These women are similar to Alex Haley - they all have black roots!

Pam was very hot and beautiful before the plastic surgery and tit job. She was still stunning on Baywatch. After getting dicked down by Bret Michaels and Tommy Lee. She seemed to try to the groupie slut look of tons of raccoon makeup and gaudy fashion. By the 2000s, she started looking really old. Too much tanning, too much makeup and constantly going under the knife. Years of fucking deplorable white trash dudes who treated her like shit must have awakened her inner left-wing activist because now she's a Marxist who supports Assange and is into heavy political literature. Which actually makes her much cooler now.

Bobbie Brown would be the winner of the bleach blonde bimbo look.

Bret Michaels. What a dork.

The one who snagged a billionaire.

Pam started getting the worn, hard and whorish look very early in her career. She was very pretty in girl next door way in her first Playboy layout in 1990. Too much sun, drugs, and taste in a long line of questionable men ruined what beauty she had.

Brett Michaels was probably one of the least offensive guys she fucked. He seems like a somewhat decent guy, besides the wig and make-up.

r9 I assume they want Aaron Sorkin to direct the biopic

Bret Michael's wig, make-up and headband = dork

Tommy Lee = arsewipe

Kid Rock = fucknut

Kelly Slater = really hot back then

Lovely peasants. Should have been milkmaids.

Anna Nicole hands down. Pam also had waaay too much surgery.

Team anna

Anna

I'm curious about the people who choose Anna, as R3 said, her beauty required makeup, Pam's didn't. Anna was pale with thin lips and a gummy smile.

She always wore makeup even as a teenager.

Pam on the other hand...

R26, I agree that Anna wasn't perfect, but Pamela isn't either. She had a big pig nose, chicklet teeth, big forehead, huge cheekbones, and deep eyes, and also her eyebrows were too thin.

On a related note, why does Pamela's makeup always look so off - her eyebrows and lips in particular distract from her face.

I don’t find young, pre surgery, hair dye and makeup free Pamela beautiful at all. She looks like a lot like average pretty girls I grew up with. She was gorgeous in the mid 90’s but never the most beautiful woman I have seen. I think Anna had a better face.

They are both clearly hetero male fantasies along with Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson and other busty blondes with tons of eye makeup, childish personalities and baby doll voices. An exaggerated feminine ideal. Iconic to straight girls who want to look like them.

Pam was gorgeous before the drugs, constant surgeries and sun damage. Anna was very pretty before the weight gain and drugs.

Anna definitely looked better when she didn't show teeth. She was gorgeous in those black and white Guess ads. She brought voluptuous back. (Before it all went to Hell.)

R33 those Guess ads required shit tons of makeup, it was all about a certain look (painted on ‘50s makeup) as opposed to true beauty. That said, her face, though not beautiful, was more photogenic and a bit more unique than Pam’s generic Barbie face pre-tranny-looking years. ANS’s gummy smile and thin lips added to a goofy prettiness. When she later plumped up her lips she took on a more generic yet cartoonish look.

Pam looked like a tranny even during her “hot” chick days while on Bay Watch. Bad skin, stretched out melon tits, hairpieces, shaved eyebrows, and Tammy Faye Baker level eye makeup. I think the the uber hetero dude bros who lusted after her are also into trannies on the down low.

Pam is naturally the prettiest blonde girl next door on the planet. (Rat faced Lily James has makeup troweled on and doesn’t come close).

Anna Nicole was more glamorous when made up - she was perfect for guess.

BUMP

Anna Nicole was far more beautiful than junkie Pam.

Anna Nicole had such a fucked up life. You can't help but feel sorry for her. She wanted to do better but had too many demons. Pam fucked up a lot but always seemed to land back on her feet. She's pretty smart.

What's next? Traci Lords vs Jenna Jameson

Neither

I remember reading an article about the early days of the internet and it said that the 2 most downloaded women on the internet at the time were Pamela Anderson and Jennifer Connelly.

That despite their limited fame that every male from 16 to 60 knew who these two women were. I guess they meant straight men.

Anna

Tie

I thought a young Anna Nicole Smith was stunning.

I never thought Pamela was that beautiful. Anna was stunning and her rags to riches story is truly fascinating. I’m surprised Hollywood hasn’t made a motion picture.

Anna Nicole Smith

Marilyn

Both equally beautiful

FUCKING WHORES!!

both legends, ANS wins bc of the tragic story

Neither of these surgery addled bimbos were beautiful. I feel bad for ANS, but Pam seems to be doing fine these days. Both of them seem/seemed nice enough.

Pam Anderson looked like a young Michelle Phillips back in the day.

I agree with Pamelas animal rights beliefs but Anna Nicole Smith seems much cooler

Well Pamela is way more iconic. She was the definitive sex symbol of the 90’s. She was the Kim Kardashian of the 90’s, so many women modeled themselves after her.

I prefer Pamela but Anna Nicole was more beautiful and that was the question.

Pam Anderson wishes she looked as good as Michelle Phillips.....EVER! Michelle Phillips is a Goddess. I met Michelle in the early 1990's at a party in Laurel Canyon (I know right). It was one of the few times I was "STARSTRUCK" and at a loss for words. I never forgot I met my mom's favorite singer.

R52, what does that have to do with who's more beautiful?

On the "cheap" scale, they are both a 10.

I think Anna for face and Pamela for body

R40 wasn't Cindy Margolis the most downloaded person on the internet around 1999ish?

In her before picture she kind of look like Golden age pron star Christy Canyon

For comparison

Madonna

Neither.

Neither

I remember pictures of a young Pamela Anderson with no or little make-up and she was just lovely. No idea why she had to get all that surgery. The boobs I get, because it is an attention grabber.

Why surgery? Why do ya think, r63? Because road to fame and fortune ran through the Playboy mansion. E.g., Pam's nose wasn't "ideal."

Anna.

ANS all day, Pam is no slouch but ANS was on another level

ANS - always go with the tits

Pamela Anderson

They were both naturally beautiful but turned themselves into ridiculous blow up dolls. Same with Jenna Jameson. Hard to imagine the thought process behind wanting to turn something so naturally lovely into something hard and cheap looking.

Tommy gave Pam hepatitis, despite denying it and Anna Nicole is dead.

I have a theory that the gold diggers have to go with the giant lips, tits and drag Queen makeup- because the old rich men have lost their eyesight and can only make the broad strokes of beauty ... or, if you will, these broads' strokes.

Neither...Beauty equals Ann-Margaret or Sophia Loren.

This thread reminds me of the most hilarious entry ever on the "Dialing a Phone with a Pencil" thread from years ago when a poster revealed that in the early 1970s at age six, with a notepad and pencil in his hands, he approached his father and his beer buddies drinking out on the patio, and said, "I'm taking a poll. Who would you say is more beautiful: Florence Henderson or Shirley Jones?"

I'd say about equal. I'm sure Anna did a lot of work on her teeth, but that was probably her weak spot.

Anna’s chin was too big and pointy. Pam had/has a great figure independent of the implants, but a body like hers isn’t as rare as a body like slim Anna Nicole because her height. She was rarely slim, though. I’d say it’s a tie.

To me it depends what you want. Pam was the more natural beauty, the hot girl-next door. Then she started with the surgeries and it wasn't as great and she started looking trashy. Anna, though, was much better able to pull off glamourous sexy. She was white trash, most of the time, but if she was styled right she was perfection.

Fun fact: Supposedly Anna’s modeling agency (Casablanca?) was pissed when she did that New York magazine cover with Cheetos. They were trying to obscure her white trash aspects. Linked article says it was Anna herself who objected, but I was told otherwise at the time.

Definitely Pamela. I remember looking through this really old Playboy magazine once when I was bored and this one woman stood out to me as the best looking of all the models. I looked at the name and was shocked it was Pamela Anderson. I did not recognise her. She had a huge bush too (they all did then).

I think straight guys would choose Pam. She embodied the hetero male fantasy of a busty blonde siren with just enough sass and humor to not be a bore. She was just hot and sexy rock groupie chick that struck a chord and made the most of it. Had a fun ride and rode many dicks.

Gays love Anna because she's like Marilyn Monroe. Came from a trashy home and while pretty, she was not out of the ordinary for a Southern small town girl. She did a lot to improve herself and manufactured this goddess persona that was an imitation what she perceived as Hollywood glamour. But sadly was mentally ill and it fell apart.

Personality-wise, Anna was probably a nicer person. I was / am into metal music and used to read "Metal Sludge." I also read "The Dirt," a joint autobiography of the Motley Crue band. Pam sounded really full of herself. Look how she's turned out, too. As mentioned above, marrying deplorable Kid Rock. She's had about 3 marriages that each lasted maybe one year. Sounds pretty insecure and desperate.

She looks so different in pics like this (nudity trigger warning for delicate gays).

Pam's whole face looked different in the 80s and early 90s. She was so fresh-faced on Home Improvement. By Baywatch, she got the raccoon eyeliner and overdone makeup that became her trademark. Her Canadian accent is cute.

R80, what does that have to do with their beauty?

Pam had a sweet face and the girl next door look. Soft features but nothing striking. I think Anna’s features were more beautiful. The gummy smile could easily be fixed these days with Botox. Either way they were clearly both beauties.

Anna had hard beady features, Pamela was much more feminine looking

I am surprised no one has mentioned Pamela's nose. I've always thought she would have been prettier if she would have had it fixed. She was pretty don't get me wrong, I just think she would have been even more so if her nose looked better.

I heard Pam did get her nose slightly tweaked. But maybe not enough.

Dorothy Stratten

Sharon Stone

Neither in my opinion.

There is nothing the least bit likable or interesting about Pamela Anderson. At least Anna had the decency to die before getting boring and old.

ANS was an angel on this earth. The way the media treated her wasn’t horrible.

*was not wasn’t

Anna was more beautiful. She had glamour. Pam was more plastic barbie doll, even though she is beautiful too, Anna just had "it."

R91, yeah a real angel the way she took advantage of that old man

Catherine Deneuve

"That old man" = vicious oil tycoon who fought a billion dollar stock war with the Koch brothers, fucked around on his disabled wife, and claimed the gifts he gave to his dead stripper mistress were "consulting fees" when the IRS went after him for tax evasion. Yeah, sure, "that old man" was taken advantage of by a functional illiterate.

How many people did JHoward Marshall take advantage of in his life? Probably a lot more than Anna Nicole did. She deserved to get her money.

Tie.

ANS

Marilyn Monroe

Kim Walther

To the commenter who said ANS deserves a biopic, there was one, if not two. I liked her reality show it was so unflattering but real.

Neither

Pam was the prettier natural beauty pre-plastic surgeries and drugs, while Anna became a bombshell the moment she wore makeup, had her hair styled professionally, and had the right wardrobe.

I’m professional photography, ANS beat Pamela hands down.

IRL, before disfiguring herself, Pamela beat ANS.

Both were attractive women for different and some similar reasons.

Pam by far. I'm actually stunned by how many people are claiming Anna Nicole wad more attractive.

Edit: was

R105, why don't you think Anna Nicole was attractive?

R107 not necessarily unattractive but ans looked like a typical pretty texas girl you would see in a shopping mall in Dallas. Look at the high school photos of Smith vs the high school photos of Anderson. This is before they had any work done. I don't think either of them are The Most Beautiful Women Ever but Anderson's natural features are more striking then Smiths natural features. I also think Pam was prettier as a brunette but I guess the blonde got her her career

I really couldn’t say, I’m not a connoisseur of tacky whores.

Madonna

Debbie Harry

I LOVE these threads with a bunch of gay men arguing about and judging the beauty, or not, of female celebrities.

Few celebrities, women or men, especially in this age of out-of-control plastic surgery, fillers, supplemental hair (for women and men) etc etc, are truly naturally beautiful women or naturally attractive men. Even Marilyn Monroe had a nose job or two. Don't forget Photoshop.

We'd have to see these celebs high school photos (unless they were from money and started with the surgeries back in high school) to judge these celebs true level of attractiveness.

Pam all day every day. She didn’t have receding gum line or speak incoherently.

Madonna

Both

Who had more plastic surgery?

Vicky

Charlize x

Kelly Clarkson

Anna Nicole. No contest.

Even Hugh Hefner said the only person he saw more beautiful than Anna was Marilyn.

R121, that is cool he said that. Where and when did he say that? Just wondering.

Both equally attractive

What does it matter? Superficial beauty is only a facade.

Annnnnna

Carmen Electra or Jenny McCarthy?

Anna Nicole Smith

Was Pam a heavy drug user and drinker? I know she’s a vegan so hee diet is healthy but she started looking rough exceptionally early.

These are the choices?

R140, when do you think her looks first started to go downhill? Just wondering

Debbie Harry

Anna Nicole hands down. Pam wasn't that good looking.
