The Last Showgirl is set to hit theaters next month, and for Pamela Anderson, landing the starring role in Gia Coppolas drama was a "life or death" moment for her. Anderson stars as Shelley, a seasoned showgirl who is faced with uncertainty after her Las Vegas show abruptly closes, leaving her to question what comes next. In a way, the movie mirrors her own life, as Anderson rose to stardom thanks to Baywatch, and has since struggled to find her footing in both her career and in life.
