The actress opened up about her life and career during an appearance at the Zurich Film Festival in Switzerland where she was honoured with the event's Golden Eye Award.
And she's revealed she barely remembers much of her life in the spotlight after shooting to fame on hit TV show Baywatch.
According to Variety, she said: "I look at it now and it feels like I went from Baywatch to Broadway. I don't know what happened in between, it's all a big blur.
"I am just happy to be here, in this moment, because I think I have had depression for a couple of decades."
The star explained she's thrilled to be busy with work again and she believes her 2023 Netflix documentary Pamela, A Love Story helped revive her career after The Last Showgirl director Gia Coppola watched it.
She added: "That's how Gia saw me. I always knew I was capable of more. It's great to be a part of pop culture, but it's a blessing and a curse. People fall in love with you because of a bathing suit. It has taken a long time, but I am here."
