Pamela Anderson Shines in Acclaimed Drama 'The Last Showgirl'

The film, directed by Gia Coppola, explores the struggles of a veteran Las Vegas showgirl and features award-nominated performances from Anderson and Jamie Lee Curtis.

Pamela Anderson stars as Shelly Gardner, a seasoned Las Vegas showgirl facing an uncertain future after her long-running show is abruptly canceled.
The film, directed by Gia Coppola, captures the vibrant yet sobering reality of Las Vegas and features authentic showgirl costumes from the iconic Bob Mackey and Pete Menefee collections.
Jamie Lee Curtis delivers a standout performance as Annette, Shelly's best friend and former showgirl, earning her a Screen Actors Guild nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
Critics praise Anderson’s dramatic transformation in the role, with many highlighting her nuanced portrayal, though some note the screenplay lacks depth.
The Last Showgirl, filmed on a modest $2 million budget in just 18 days, is now playing exclusively in theaters after a limited awards-qualifying release in December.
