Pamela Anderson returns to the big screen as an LA dancer
In the movie, Pamela Anderson plays Shelly, a Las Vegas dancer grappling with an uncertain future when her long-running show comes to an end.
The film explores themes of reinvention and familial healing, with Billie Lourd starring as Shelly’s estranged daughter.
The star-studded cast also includes Jamie Lee Curtis, Dave Bautista, Kiernan Shipka, and Brenda Song.
The film is set to debut in select theaters on December 13, with a wider release planned for January.

"It is never too late to dream, to start again, to stay open to possibilities — we are not all so lucky," she wrote. “I wish everyone my love and thanks while I navigate this new exciting chapter.”
“I could see this artist that was so creative and so knowledgeable of art and philosophy and just the way she approached life,” Coppola reportedly said of Anderson at a recent Q&A promoting the film.
“And how vulnerable she was, not really wearing makeup in the documentary, so I could see that this was a person who was fearless. I just really wanted to collaborate with her. I could see her hunger to kind of express her talents in a dramatic way.”
The film received glowing reviews after its premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, with critics lauding Anderson’s performance as a career-defining comeback.
