Pamela Anderson isn’t holding back about how good it feels to receive high praise for her new film The Last Showgirl — especially after the Hulu series Pam & Tommy, which was released nearly three years ago, was made without her knowledge, she says.

Nothing lasts forever, but in Las Vegas not much sticks around longer than a minute or two. Not your money, not the old casino hotels on the Strip, and not the topless revues that, for decades, defined Sin City in a rhinestone nutshell.

Anderson plays an aging Vegas showgirl in the new movie from Gia Coppola. For so many reasons, it's a role only she could meaningfully deliver.
