Abu Dhabi: The balmy Abu Dhabi weather might be perfect for that famed red bathing suit, but Baywatch star Pamela Anderson was in the capital last night on a life saving mission of a very different kind.
Here to support the Make A Wish Foundation, a charity that grants wishes to gravely-ill children, Anderson - a mother of two - told a press conference that she's been actively involved with the cause since days when she made a living running along a Malibu beach.
"We granted a lot of wishes on Baywatch, and it's a great opportunity to be involved with the foundation here in Abu Dhabi," the star said, looking sweetly demure in a beige shirtdress.
On Sunday night, however, she'll be doing all she can to raise money for the foundation - by auctioning off a private dinner with herself. The charity auction, at the Embassy Club at Emirates Palace, will also feature a performance by r'n'b singer Montell Jordan, who was by Anderson's side yesterday and later had a kickabout at a football game in aid of the charity.
In an exclusive interview, Anderson told Gulf News that she's devoted her time to looking after her two young boys - "I'm a soccer mom, she giggled - and supporting her favourite charities, in particular focusing on raising awareness of Hepatitis C, which she contracted several years ago. "I'm healthier than ever," she said. "The doctors can't believe it."
