PAMELA ANDERSON'S SCANDALOUS PAST AND PRESENT ROMANCES ROCK THE HALLS OF HOLLYWOOD!

The 58-year-old Baywatch bombshell, Pamela Anderson, has been making waves in Tinseltown with her rumored new romance with the dashing 73-year-old Liam Neeson. But little do people know that this isn't her first foray into romance with a leading man. In fact, our sources reveal that Pam had a sizzling six-month fling with none other than Lois & Clark's Dean Cain back in 1993!

DEAN CAIN SPILLS THE TEA!

Turns out the 58-year-old Baywatch alum enjoyed a six-month fling with Lois & Clark alum Dean Cain in 1993

In an exclusive interview with Variety, the lovable heartthrob, who turns 59 this Thursday, confessed to having a whirlwind romance with Pamela. "That candle burned hot and short," he quipped, hinting at the fleeting nature of their relationship. According to Dean, Pam was drawn to the "rock-star kind" of guys, but he wasn't quite that kind of guy. "She wanted someone more edgy, more exciting," he revealed.

THE '90S SUPERCOUPLE

Meanwhile, our sources confirm that Pamela's whirlwind romance with Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee was no coincidence. The two met at the infamous WeHo nightclub Sanctuary in 1995 and got hitched just four days later! Their union may have been short-lived, but it produced two gorgeous sons: Brandon (29) and Dylan (27). And while they're co-parenting with ease, insiders claim that Pam's still reeling from her messy divorce.

LIAM NEESON STEALS THE SHOW... AND PAMELA'S HEART!

Fast-forward to the present day, and Pamela's been beaming alongside Liam Neeson at the New York premiere of The Naked Gun. "It's a budding romance in the early stages," a source close to the couple reveals. But this isn't Pam's first brush with the Irish hunk – they've bonded over their shared love of literature and good laughs on set! And let's just say, Liam's smitten: "I'm madly in love with her. No huge ego... She's funny and so easy to work with," he gushed to People last October.

FROM SCANDAL TO RESURGENCE

Dean only has 'fond memories of' Pamela, who went on to marry Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee (R) in 1995 just four days after they met at WeHo nightclub Sanctuary

After a tumultuous few years, Pamela Anderson's career is finally back on track! Her Golden Globe-nominated performance in Gia Coppola's drama The Last Showgirl earned her critical acclaim and sparked a full-blown resurgence. And it looks like love is in the air – again! This time with none other than Liam Neeson.

UPCOMING PROJECTS: PAMELA ANDERSON'S BUSIEST PERIOD YET!

But don't expect Pam to slow down anytime soon. With projects like Alma (opposite Dakota Fanning and Lindsay Duncan), Place to Be (with Ellen Burstyn and Taika Waititi), and Rosebush Pruning (for Mubi) in the works, she's busier than ever. And if you're wondering how she manages it all – just ask her co-stars! "She's a true professional," gushes Elle Fanning about working with Pam on Rosebush Pruning.

Three years later, the couple - whose honeymoon sex tape was stolen from their safe and released - divorced but remain co-parents of sons Brandon (L), 29; and Dylan (R), 27

THE LADIES OF HOLLYWOOD WEIGH IN

We caught up with some of Pamela Anderson's colleagues and friends to get their take on the romance. Riley Keough, who starred alongside Pam in Rosebush Pruning, praises her as "a true artist" – while Dakota Fanning calls her a "role model." Even Liam Neeson's ex-partner, Freya St. Johnston, has kind words for Pam: "She's an incredibly talented woman."

A source told People on Monday: 'It's a budding romance in the early stages. It's sincere, and it's clear they're smitten with each other'

Earlier this month, the Golden Globe nominee gushed to EW: 'I think I have a friend forever in Liam. We definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving. He's a good guy'

The feeling was definitely mutual for Liam, who gushed to People last October: 'I'm madly in love with her. No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She's funny and so easy to work with. She's going to be terrific in the film'
