Actress Pamela Anderson has revisited the terrifying hepatitis C diagnosis that once left her believing she had only a decade to live, revealing how the illness affected her family, finances and outlook on life before she was finally declared free of the virus.
The 59-year-old Baywatch star reflected on her decades-long health ordeal while accepting the Award of Courage at the amfAR Gala Venezia on Sunday, 6 September. Anderson said her doctor told her after her diagnosis that she 'probably had around 10 years to live,' a prognosis she described as a 'death sentence.'
