Lapland beckons Pamela

Pamela Anderson wants to learn to speak fluent Finnish. The former TV serial 'Baywatch' star, whose grandfather hailed from Finland, was pleased she remembered so much of the language during a recent trip to the country, and now plans to increase her vocabulary. Pammie said: "I'm surprised at how much of the language I retained from before I was 10 years old speaking with my grandfather. It came back quick. I'm going to learn more and more."

The 39-year-old actress is planning to build a house in Finland and return there every year during the long summer days. Pammie said: "I will have a summer home there one day and plan on going back every summer to enjoy the midnight sun."

The blonde star - who recently introduced her father to shock jock Howard Stern - also says travelling to the Nordic country with her dad was a "dream". She explained: "My dad was so thrilled to meet Howard Stern and more of my friends in NYC. He's a huge fan. Also bringing him to Finland finally was a lifelong dream."
