TIFF 2024: Pamela Anderson takes star turn as ‘The Last Showgirl’
Hindustan TimesBy Jenna Zucker TIFF 2024: Pamela Anderson takes star turn as ‘The Last Showgirl’ TORONTO, Sept 6 - Pamela Anderson portrays a veteran Las Vegas showgirl forced to confront an uncertain future when she suddenly finds herself out of a job in “The Last Showgirl,” a heartfelt drama that made its premiere on Friday at the Toronto International Film Festival. Supported by a cast that includes Dave Bautista and Jamie Lee Curtis, Anderson took on the challenging role after last year's Netflix documentary "Pamela: A Love Story," which offered an intimate portrait of the "Baywatch" actor's life and career in her own words. "There was just a gut instinct about Pamela that I was compelled by, and then seeing her documentary really solidified that choice,” Gia Coppola, who directed "The Last Showgirl," told Reuters at the premiere. “I knew that no one else could play this role but her and add the same meaning,” said Coppola, whose directorial credits include 2013's "Palo Alto" and "Mainstream" in 2020.
