‘The Last Showgirl’: Read The Screenplay That Pamela Anderson Waited Her Entire Career For
The Last Showgirl, the Gia Coppola-directed drama written by Kate Gersten, has catapulted Pamela Anderson into the awards conversation.
But her world is shattered when the revue is unceremoniously canceled to make way for a modern act, leaving her and the other dancers with a mere two weeks’ notice to face an uncertain future. Gersten’s characterization of Shelly also makes her a mentor, guiding and acting as the mother figure to the younger dancers, Mary-Anne (Brenda Song) and Jodie (Kiernan Shipka), as they face the complexities of the showgirl life. The Last Showgirl paints a vivid portrait of Las Vegas, a city of dazzling lights and faded dreams, as it follows the lives of multifaceted characters who find solace and significance in the Strip’s intoxicating glow.
