Pamela-Anderson in a showgirl costume in front of a blurry vegas background in The Last Showgirl
The Coppola name is one that undeniably stands out in the film world, and it’s a hard-earned pedigree that cannot be ignored when plastered on a poster or marquee. With The Last Showgirl, Gia Coppola proves, once again, that this reputation is well-deserved, taking a beautiful script by Kate Gersten and crafting a loving portrait of a complicated woman forced to face demons past and present when her career — and life — are suddenly turned upside down.
Watching how her outspoken friend Annette struggles to make ends meet following her departure from the showgirl business and unable to understand why her fellow dancers’ worlds aren’t crumbling like hers is, Shelley grapples with her changing identity and holds tight to her glory days in any way she can.
Jamie Lee Curtis’s talents are likewise on full display in The Last Showgirl, proving once again that there’s no role she can’t embody with full commitment and empathy. Donning a deep spray tan and brassy wig, Curtis transforms seamlessly into Annette, a showgirl turned cocktail waitress whose turn of bad luck leaves her painfully aware of what the future could hold for her beloved friend.
