“The Last Showgirl” stars Anderson as a Las Vegas performer who learns that her long-running show is coming to an end.
Extra recently spoke with co-star Jamie Lee Curtis, who said: [Pamela’s] Showgirls character Shelley as the show closes. ”
While discussing The Last Showgirl’s TIFF premiere, she talked about the tearful moment she shared with Anderson after the screening.
“None of us, including Pam, had ever seen this movie, but we attended the premiere at the Toronto Film Festival and it was gorgeous and glorious and sad and beautiful and tragic. And “We went backstage and we were all crying,” Curtis shared.
Jamie Lee said Pamela and she weren’t the only ones crying. “It was all the girls. Billie Lourd is so beautiful in the movie, and Brenda Song and Kiernan Shipka and all of us, and Kate Gersten, the screenwriter, [director] I have known Gia Coppola since my daughter and I were close friends in elementary school. So the female staff came together and received this sentiment from the crowd for this beautiful movie. ”
