Pamela Anderson, the iconic bombshell and former Playboy model, gets a career resurgence inThe Last Showgirl. At first look, it seems like a film tailored specifically for the actress, and it’s no surprise because she is actually the top choice for the lead role.
In the movie, she plays a veteran performer in Las Vegas who finds out her show closes abruptly after a successful 30-year run. It’s a story of finding life and purpose in middle age and reconnecting with the important people in our lives.
Jamie Lee Curtis Channeled Pamela Anderson’sBaywatchRole
Apart fromPamela Anderson,Gia Coppola’sThe Last Showgirlalso featuresJamie Lee Curtis, who portrays the role of a waitress and former showgirl. The actress, also an Academy Award recipient, did not forget to show off her transformation when she attended their first table read.
According to Anderson, theBorderlandsstar sported an orange-ish makeup which took her aback. She remembered Curtis grabbing her by the shoulder, looking at her intently in the eyes, and saying, “We’re doing this. I did this for you. I hope you know that.”
It turns out, she had just gotten a spray tan on her body. “As I was talking to her, she was deepening in her orange color,” recalled Anderson viaVariety. Curtis was clearly depicting a bad tan job as an homage to Anderson’s 1989 drama seriesBaywatch. The highly successful show ran for 11 seasons, propelling the model to worldwide fame. To this day, C.J. Parker remains her most famous role.
One of the most noticeable sights inBaywatchis the lifeguards’ seamless suntans. In a 1997 interview withOrlando Sentinel, makeup artist JoAnna Connell revealed it was all fake. “That beautiful Baywatch tan you see on all those people is faux. We actually use sunless tanning lotion with a body stain.”
