Pamela Anderson's remarkable performance in Gia Coppola's film, "The Last Showgirl," has caught the attention of audiences and critics alike. Despite missing out on an Oscar nomination, Anderson has received lead actress nominations for the Golden Globes, Gotham Awards, and Screen Actors Guild Awards. In an interview with ELLE.com, she reveals that she did not have high expectations of receiving an Oscar nod and believes that the true reward lies in the work itself.
Anderson expresses her happiness over the recognition she has received, especially for the SAG nomination, which is voted on by her peers. After a long journey promoting the film, she feels grateful for the positive reception it has received. "The Last Showgirl," premiered at the 2024 Toronto Film Festival, received critical acclaim, with many considering it her career-best performance. This serves as a satisfying comeback for Anderson, who has often been dismissed as just a sex symbol rather than a serious actress.
