FIVE FUN FACTS ABOUT THE PAM & TOMMY LEE SEX TAPE ON THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF ITS RELEASE
1 – This February Vivid Entertainment marks the 20th anniversary of its release of what many believe is the most famous celebrity sex video of all time — Pam & Tommy Lee: Hardcore Uncensored & Uncut
This sensational tape was the very first of its kind. Its release by Vivid launched the celebrity sex tape category for the adult industry. Though many more celebrity sex tapes have been distributed over the past two decades, Pam & Tommy set the tone for this genre, which has been dominated by Vivid from the start.
2 – Pam Anderson and Tommy Lee were young, in love and newly married. Pam was famous as TV’s Baywatch babe and Tommy as the drummer with Mötley Crüe. Their courtship was epic – lasting only four days before they tied to knot. Tommy has always said the tape was just video he took on a vacation, but the footage was wildly natural and erotic, and it quickly earned the nickname The Honeymoon Tape.
3 – Over the years much has been written about the Pam & Tommy Lee tape. Here’s one famous comment: “This is the granddaddy of all sex tapes and the one that everyone should see. If porn had a Mona Lisa, it would be this. Absolutely must-see if you haven’t already.”
4 – Rolling Stone wrote about the tape in a 2014 article under the headline: “Tommy: The Untold Story of the World’s Most Infamous Sex Tape.”
The article stated:
“The Pam and Tommy Lee sex tape is the most infamous stolen celebrity artifact on the planet…But it was a porno that appealed to people who didn’t usually watch pornos, a voyeuristic dive into the guileless intimacy between two tabloid darlings…The couple already had a reputation for carnal and pharmaceutical indulgence, but peeping on their love play offered an entirely new level of dirty, thrilling violation…”
5 – In late 1997 Howard Stern captured it best when he said: “It’s the greatest tape I have ever seen in my life. What’s cool about it is that, like, you get to live their lives with them.” Check it out for yourself at Pam & Tommy Lee: Hardcore Uncensored & Uncut.
