Pam Anderson U.S. citizen

Former "Baywatch" star Pamela Anderson became a U.S. citizen Wednesday, her lawyer said.

Anderson, 36, who was born in British Columbia, underwent an interview and passed a 10-question citizenship test. She was then sworn in at a private ceremony, her attorney Barbara Federman said. "She did fabulous," Federman said.



Anderson moved to California in 1989. Federman would not say why she sought U.S. citizenship. Immigration officials said the actress also retained her Canadian citizenship.

Anderson is currently a columnist for Canadian Elle magazine. She starred on "Baywatch" and has since worked in various films and TV shows, including the animated television series "Stripperella."

She has two sons with her former husband Tommy Lee, a member of the band Motley Crue.
