It's been almost a year to the day since Pam & Tommy premiered, featuring Lily James and Sebastian Stan telling the story of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee's relationship before, during and after the leak of their infamous sex tape.
Reflecting back on the series, Cinderella star Lily says she hopes that she did Pamela proud with the show, despite reports that Pam herself didn't want to be involved with the drama.
"With a real person, morally, you want to do them justice. Feeling like you could ever possibly have the right to tell someone’s actual story is a confusing conversation and something I still think about with Pamela," she told The Mirror.

"I still hope and pray I did her justice. But with anything, you just have to trust your instincts and know your intentions are good in shaping a story. The more I watched Pamela, the more I tried to inhabit her and sensed how strong and fierce-spirited she is and the more I felt inspired by her.
"Experiences like that give me a bit of a buzz and a bit of fire to march on in life."

The actress also stated that "a lot of people" reached out to thank her for her involvement in the show, and how it explored the emotional impact on a woman who has private material shared publicly.

"It has been so meaningful to hear what women got from it and to share what they thought about these violations and how you experience them personally," she said.
"That makes it all so worthwhile. It was a role that was close to my heart, even with my own small experiences of what it is to be a woman in this industry."
Pamela announced a Netflix documentary to "set the record straight", but when it drops on January 31, she won't be watching.
Pam & Tommy is available to stream now on Disney+.
