“Baywatch” actress Pamela Anderson is mastering her dance moves as a contestant on “Dancing with the Stars,” but she isn’t having luck when it comes to mastering the art of paying taxes.

According to the Associated Press, Anderson failed to pay $493,000 in personal income tax, and she was placed on California’s annual list of delinquent taxpayers. 

Anderson had a steady paycheck when she starred on the hit television show “Baywatch” from 1992 to 1997. 

In 1998, she starred in another television show titled “V.I.P.”  Since then, her acting roles have been few and far between. 

Her next acting role will be in the film “Hollywood and Wine.”  The movie also stars Jeremy London, Vivica A. Fox, Norm MacDonald and Chris Kattan.

The woman who was once considered (by some) to be the most beautiful female in the world has found herself in financial turmoil.

Los Angeles County Court records show Pamela Anderson owes $1.1 million to five construction companys and back taxes. 

The companies were hired to to remodel Anderson’s home, but they claim they didn’t receive full payment.  Pamela also owes $252,360 in back taxes to the IRS as well. 

Ironically, Pamela’s ex-husband musician Kid Rock told the public a couple of years ago that Pamela wasn’t wealthy. 

During an interview with Howard Stern in 2007, Kid Rock said Pamela doesn’t have a lot of money and “the worst thing in life is to be famous without money.”

Pamela became famous during the 1990s when she starred on the popular series “Baywatch” from 1992 to 1997.  She graced the cover of Playboy magazine more than any women in the magazine’s history.
