‘She Is a Transcendent Creature’: Jamie Lee Curtis Showers Praise on the Last Showgirl Costar, Pamela Anderson

by

As an ardent fan, I find myself utterly captivated by the electrifying dynamism that unfolds when two legendary figures like Jamie Lee Curtis and Pamela Anderson unite on the silver screen. Their synergy is not just a testament to their acting prowess but also a celebration of their resilience, spirit, and undeniable charm.

I had the pleasure of heaping praises on my esteemed co-star, Pamela Anderson, during the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6th. In my eyes, she’s not just a talented actress, but a truly wonderful person. She exudes intelligence, spirituality, and beauty that leaves a profound impact.

In The Last Showgirl, 57-year-old Anderson portrays Shelley, a former Las Vegas entertainer seeking a fresh start after the termination of her popular act. Curtis lands the role of Annette, Shelley’s closest friend, and expresses that she was drawn to this character, especially with Anderson attached to the project. To work together, Curtis structured her schedule around other responsibilities.

Curtis expressed to the crowd, “In my opinion, she’s an extraordinary being, not just physically, but also in terms of intelligence, spirituality, and inner beauty.

I, too, admire Anderson for her unyielding spirit against the pressures of Hollywood. Additionally, I applaud her methodical approach to her professional journey.

Anderson first garnered attention through her Playboy photoshoot, but it was her role in Baywatch that brought her widespread fame. Her life, including the infamous theft of her and Tommy Lee’s private video tape, is detailed in her memoir Love Pamela and a documentary film about her, titled “Pamela, a Love Story,” directed by her son Brandon Lee, was released in 2023.

After viewing the documentary, Curtis took the time to commend Anderson for her openness in discussing her struggles and voiced his hope that the film would transform people’s views of her abilities. Moreover, he commented on Pamela by stating, “She has been candid about society’s treatment of her. I am optimistic that we will all gain a fresh appreciation for her skills once we watch the movie.

In “The Last Showgirl,” led by Dave Bautista, Brenda Song, Kiernan Shipka, and Billie Lourd, Gia Coppola serves as director, with Kate Gersten penning the script. Robert Schwartzman and Natalie Farrey are producers. This marks Anderson’s significant return to a leading role since “Inner View” in the 2022 horror film “Alone at Night.” The movie is set to compete at the San Sebastián International Film Festival following its Toronto International Film Festival participation. However, it currently lacks a distributor or release date.
