At 57, Pamela Anderson is experiencing a career renaissance with her starring role in The Last Showgirl, marking a dramatic departure from her '90s bombshell image. The film, directed by Gia Coppola, features Anderson as Shelly, a Vegas showgirl fighting to maintain her place in an industry that prioritizes youth. During a pivotal scene , Anderson altered her dialogue to declare, "I'm 57 and I'm beautiful, you son of a bitch!" Tommy Lee's wife saves pet dog from coyote attack in their backyard Baywatch star shows off ageless beauty as she reunites with cast for documentary "I felt it in my body," Anderson said of the emotional moment that resonated with Toronto Film Festival audiences.
The project almost didn't reach Anderson, as her agent initially rejected it without consulting her. "He thought it wasn't right for me. He thought I couldn't do it," Anderson revealed.
"At that point, I was being offered nothing." Coppola, who discovered Anderson through her documentary Pamela, a Love Story, saw beyond the stereotype. "I saw a woman that was bursting at the seams of wanting to express herself creatively," the director said.
Anderson's son, Brandon Thomas Lee, rescued the script from a rejection pile, leading to what the actress describes as "something karmic." DON'T MISS..
