Isn't it kinda sad that in order to be a legendary sex symbol you have to die in your prime. Just imagine if Marilyn Monroe would have aged, and she wouldn't be so iconic.
Just imagine Pamela in her agent's office with the conversation going something like: "Pamela, things are going great! The search numbers on the Internet are through the roof, your recognizability is sky high, your popularity is at a peak. I think you could be a legendary sex symbol. So this is what we're going to do.... You need to die tragically. Take your pic: drug overdose, plane crash or car accident. I'm sorry about that, but it's just the way it is."
"You don't believe me? Well, Jim Morrison is a legend and Peter Frampton isn't. One died on a high note, the other lived.... Elvis-legend, Kurt Kobain-legend. Just think, if Kurt was still alive, we'd be making fun of him being an angry has-been billionaire who still thinks he can sing with that beer belly and awful haircut."
