“The Last Showgirl” features Anderson as a Las Vegas performer who learns her long-running show is coming to an end.
“Extra” recently spoke with her co-star Jamie Lee Curtis, who said, “This one’s so deep and beautiful in its storytelling about [Pamela’s] character Shelly, a show girl whose show is closing.”
While discussing “The Last Showgirl’s” TIFF premiere, she spoke about a tearful moment she shared with Anderson after the screening.
“None of us, including Pam, had seen the movie, and then we sat for the premiere at the Toronto Film Festival and it’s gorgeous and glorious and sad and beautiful and tragic, and then we went backstage and we were all sobbing,” Curtis shared.
Jamie Lee said it wasn’t just Pamela and herself crying. “It was all of the girls. Billie Lourd is so beautiful in the movie, and Brenda Song and Kiernan Shipka, all of us along with Kate Gersten, who’s the writer, and [director] Gia Coppola, who I’ve known since my daughter and she were dear friends in grade school. So that crew of women were gathering and receiving this feeling from the crowd of this beautiful movie.”
