Ex-Baywatch babe, Pamela Anderson, was lucky enough to snag a perfectly aged role that parallels her own career trajectory, a matured sex symbol showgirl reaching the end of her career and an end of an era, in Gia Coppola’s “The Last Showgirl.”
Gia Coppola, Francis Ford Coppola’s granddaughter and Sofia Coppola’s niece, has directing blood coursing thru her veins.
Gia did “The Last Showgirl” to comment of disposing of the old, in favor of the new.
“The Last Showgirl” is a snapshot of what’s currently happening in Sin City, old-fashion sexy glamour of “rhinestone, breasts, and blush” being pushed by bawdy, raunchy, twerking acrobatic burlesque vaudeville.
Pamela Anderson’s Shelly learning how to evolve and where to pivot next.
Gia allowed Pamela to express full range of raw and real emotions in Vegas’ gritty, hard scrabbled environment.
The Last Showgirl, Shelly, showed her love and dedication to her career and craft that has fallen out of favor. She reveals the sacrifices, Shelly made, at least, gave her a thirty-years Vegas Strip career, which pretty solidly good for any career.
For an hour and half movie, Gia manages to fully explain Shelly’s history.
Basically, “The Last Showgirl” is a cautionary tale of staying too long and knowing when to transition.
