Brenda Song On ‘Last Showgirl’ and Post-Disney Life With Macaulay Culkin

The Disney Channel alum and ‘The Last Showgirl’ star almost quit acting to focus on her family with Macaulay Culkin. She opens up about life after 'The Suite Life.'

Pamela Anderson toplines the movie as Shelly, a veteran showgirl mourning the job that has carried her through her entire adult life, with Song, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Kiernan Shipka supporting. The 36-year-old actor tells me this while clutching a latte at a café within walking distance from the family home in LA that she shares with her two children and her fiancée, a man who, incidentally, represents former child stardom more than anyone else in this town — or on this planet: Macaulay Culkin. Coppola’s vision of Vegas evokes the work of her famous aunt Sofia: It’s a naturalistic but wistful look at the interior lives of women who are always putting on a show — in this case, while wearing archival Bob Mackie outfits, rhinestones, and lashes so fluffy they’re more prominent than their noses in profile.
