Pamela Anderson was 'aching to express herself' before starring in The Last Showgirl

Pamela Anderson was "aching to express herself" before starring in 'The Last Showgirl'.

The 57-year-old actress believes director Gia Coppola was able to see beyond the "nonsense" that surrounds her life, after watching Pamela's 2023 Netlix documentary, 'Pamela, a Love Story'.

The Hollywood star - who plays Shelley Gardner, a Las Vegas showgirl, in the drama film - said on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon': "Gia saw the documentary, and she could just see someone.

"Thank god she could see through the nonsense, you know, and see that I was a woman aching to express herself."

Pamela is thankful that Gia, 38, gave her the opportunity to showcase her talent in 'The Last Showgirl'.

The actress - who shot to fame as CJ Parker on the hit TV series 'Baywatch' - said: "It was nice that she gave me the opportunity, because that's a skill in itself, to see past all of the nonsense."
