Our Take On The Last Showgirl Trailer
Pamela Anderson Has Redefined Herself

During the 1990s, Pamela Anderson rose to fame as a Playboy model and starred as C.J. Parker in the television series Baywatch, which further cemented her status as a sex symbol, though the show consistently received negative critical reviews. Anderson also starred in movies like Barb Wire, which was panned by critics. In turn, Anderson was never really taken seriously as an actress until 2022 when she made her Broadway debut as Roxie Hart in Chicago. Now, Anderson is continuing to redefine herself with The Last Showgirl, with many calling it the best performance of her career.
