Pamela Anderson is back and serving showgirl realness in The Last Showgirl! And yes, it’s as glamorous as it sounds. This isn’t just any movie; it’s a rhinestone-encrusted rollercoaster directed by Gia Coppola and written by the brilliantly witty Kate Gersten. It’s the kind of cast-and-crew collaboration that might make you think, “Am I ready for this much star power?” Spoiler: You are definitely ready.
The Plot, a.k.a. “What Drama Awaits?”
Picture this: Pamela as Shelly, the ultimate showgirl who has been twirling on stage for three whole decades. She’s got routines sharper than a freshly manicured nail and enough sequins to blind her audience nightly. But when her show closes out of nowhere, she’s faced with the ultimate challenge—what does a girl do when the feathered curtains fall for good?
But Shelly isn’t alone! She’s got her best friend played by none other than Jamie Lee Curtis (queen of everything from scream scenes to sarcastic smirks). Jamie’s character is the voice of reason…or maybe just the voice of snark? Either way, she’s bringing her unique brilliance to the table, along with her A-list attitude.
Joining them are Dave Bautista as Shelly’s “wise but silent” bouncer buddy, Kiernan Shipka probably playing some mysteriously hip girl who’s wise beyond her years, Billie Lourd serving glam sidekick vibes, and Brenda Song adding her signature sparkle. The cast is basically a walking award show!
The Soundtrack We Didn’t Know We Needed
If that wasn’t enough star power, Miley Cyrus herself blesses us with an original song called “Beautiful That Way.” Co-written by indie sensation Lykke Li and produced by Andrew Wyatt, this track promises to be a powerful, soul-stirring anthem that’ll have you clutching your sequins in full dramatic fashion.
Mark Your Calendar
The movie premieres December 13 for one fabulous week at AMC Century City, with a nationwide release on January 10, 2025. You’ll have just enough time to buy a feather boa and brush up on your showgirl strut.
Check out the trailer and prepare yourself: The Last Showgirl isn’t just a movie; it’s a glittery ode to resilience, friendship, and the art of making every single moment your last, most fabulous encore.
