The Last Showgirl

A seasoned performer must plan for her future when her show abruptly closes after a 30-year run. A wistful showcase for Pamela Anderson in a refreshingly dramatic role, The Last Showgirl pays homage to the working class of Las Vegas with a superb collection of performances.

After 30 years, Shelley's (Pamela Anderson) show in Las Vegas is cancelled. Facing an uncertain future and emotionally floundering, the 50-year old showgirl tries to reconnect with a daughter she hardly knows, which proves just as difficult as losing the only job she has ever had. Bolstered by her best friend Annette (Jamie Lee Curtis), a brash cocktail waitress who laughs a little too loud and too often, Shelley must find her place in a world that she shut the stage door on years before. Director Già Coppola has crafted a touching and bittersweet homage to a dancer in the twilight of her career with this nocturnal Las Vegas film. Pamela Anderson delivers a heartwarming performance in the perfectly cast lead role.
