Pamela Andersonis sharing a wild story from her visits to the Playboy Mansion.
In an excerpt of her upcoming memoir,Love, Pamela, included in a new feature interview withVariety, Anderson, 55, recalled a visit to the infamous former home ofPlayboymagazine founderHugh Hefnerin which she bumped intoJack Nicholsonwhile he was “having a threesome in a bathroom.”
“Trying not to look, but I couldn’t help myself and caught his eye in the reflection,” the memoir reads. “I guess that got him to the finish line, because he made a funny noise, smiled and said, ‘Thanks, dear.’ "
As Anderson recounted the Playboy Mansion story toVariety, she described her memories of the time period — though the actress did not specify when this visit happened — “as just complete freedom.”
“It was full of artists, philanthropists, intellectuals, chivalry, beautiful women,” she told the outlet. “It was really an experience.”
