‘The Last Showgirl’ Review: Pamela Anderson Is A Revelation In Gia Coppola’s Smart Story Of A Vegas Veteran As The Spotlight Fades – Toronto Film Festival
A review of 'The Last Showgirl' with Pamela Anderson sensational as an aging showgirl in Vegas whose life turns upside down when her show is closing.
It helps to have not just a female director as guide, but also a top screenwriter, Kate Gersten who had studied the Jubilee show before it closed, particularly those women who lead hard lives as showgirls every night on stage. As we learn though there has been a price to pay and that comes in conversations with her daughter Hannah (a fine Billie Lourd) who she has brought up as a single mom but who also feels resentment for all the nights Shelly was away working in the show rather than being at home with her. At a dinner with some of her colleagues including ex-showgirl and now waitress Annette ( Jamie Lee Curtis), current showgirls Kiernan Shipka and Brenda Song, and the show’s longtime producer Eddie ( Dave Bautista), the latter has a bombshell to deliver.
