In The Last Showgirl, Anderson takes on the role of a veteran performer grappling with an uncertain future after her show abruptly ends following 30 years on stage. The drama, directed by Gia Coppola, is set for a January 10, 2025, release. Earlier this week, the release of a first-look trailer captivated audiences and sparked early Oscar buzz, highlighting Anderson’s poignant portrayal.
The Last Showgirl also features a stellar cast including Jamie Lee Curtis, Brenda Song, and Kiernan Shipka, among others. Anderson’s performance has sparked speculation that she could secure a Best Actress Academy Award nomination for the role. Critics are already praising her portrayal, with Deadline’s Pete Hammond calling it “remarkable” and highlighting how Anderson’s natural optimism shines through while allowing her to explore raw emotion. Variety’s Peter Debruge also lauded her, describing her performance as a “force of nature.”
Despite her comedic roots, particularly in her short-lived 2005 sitcom Stacked, Anderson’s dramatic abilities have shone through in this film. Hammond added that Anderson’s performance would “break your heart,” noting that she’s fully committed to the role.
Anderson last appeared in the 2017 Baywatch film, reprising her iconic role as CJ Parker. In January 2023, she also starred in the Netflix documentary Pamela, A Love Story and released her memoir Love, Pamela.
