Pamela Anderson Receives Golden Eye Award

Zurich, September 17, 2024

Pamela Anderson will be honoured by The Zurich Film Festival (October 3 – 13) for her versatile career and her role in the film THE LAST SHOWGIRL. She will receive the award in person on 4 October at the Zurich Convention Centre before presenting the film THE LAST SHOWGIRL together with director Gia Coppola.

Pamela Anderson returns to the silver screen with an outstanding performance in the role of a lifetime as Shelley, the 50-year-old showgirl who discovers her long-running show in coming to a close. Anderson is set to attend the 20th Zurich Film Festival as a star guest and receive the Golden Eye Award for her versatile career and role in THE LAST SHOWGIRL.

'Pamela poured her heart and soul into the character of Shelley and captivated us right from the start,' explains Christian Jungen, Artistic Director of the Zurich Film Festival. 'She completely immersed herself in her character, turned Shelley's inner life inside out with her facial expressions and made sure that we sympathised with her. A terrific performance, perhaps the best of her career, which deserves an Oscar nomination. We are therefore delighted to honour Pamela Anderson, this cult actress with whom many of us have grown up and who has reinvented herself time and again, at the ZFF.'

After 30 years, Shelley's (Pamela Anderson) show in Las Vegas is cancelled. Now, the 50-year-old showgirl faces an uncertain future and tries to mend her long-neglected relationship with her daughter, with the help of her colleague Annette (Jamie Lee Curtis). Director Gia Coppola has crafted a touching and bittersweet homage to a dancer in the twilight of her career with this nocturnal Las Vegas film. Pamela Anderson delivers a heartwarming performance in the perfectly cast lead role.

Pamela Anderson will accept the Golden Eye on 4 October before presenting her new film, THE LAST SHOWGIRL.
