Pamela Anderson, known for her role on the iconic TV series Baywatch, is making waves once again with her recent film, The Last Showgirl. Though she missed out on an Oscar nomination, the 57-year-old actress expressed contentment with the recognition she’s received, saying, “The win is the work.” She noted that just being part of the conversation is exciting, especially after years away from the spotlight.
Anderson is pleased with her nominations from the Golden Globes and the Screen Actors Guild, and she sends her best wishes to fellow actors nominated for the Academy Awards. “All of this is about having another chance to perform,” she remarked.
Frequently referenced for her glamorous past and high-profile relationships, Anderson’s latest role has garnered attention not just for its storyline, but for the similarities it draws to her own life. In The Last Showgirl, she plays Shelly, a Las Vegas dancer navigating the tumultuous aftermath of her show’s abrupt closure. Critics have lauded Anderson’s performance, while others have raised mixed reviews about the film itself.
Discussing the film's themes—especially those about motherhood—Anderson identifies with Shelly's struggles to balance career ambitions and family life. As a mother of two sons, Brandon and Dylan, she understands the difficulties of being a parent while pursuing personal dreams.
Reflecting on her time with Baywatch, Anderson defended the show's portrayal of women, viewing it through a lens of innocence and empowerment, contrary to critics’ assessments.
In a departure from her previous glamorous image, Anderson has adopted a natural look, emphasizing self-acceptance as a priority in her current chapter. "My beauty routine is rest," she stated, stating that self-discovery is essential as she explores new roles.
She also expressed admiration for fellow actress Demi Moore, who has received an Oscar nomination this year, recognizing the effort it takes to remain relevant in the industry. Anderson's resilience and reflections reveal a multi-dimensional character continuing to evolve within an industry that often showcases her past.
