The Last Showgirl is a 2024 American drama film directed by Gia Coppola and written by Kate Gersten. It stars Pamela Anderson, Jamie Lee Curtis, Billie Lourd, Dave Bautista, Brenda Song, and Kiernan Shipka. Its plot focuses on a middle-aged Las Vegas showgirl who is faced with an uncertain future after learning that the revue she has performed in for three decades is scheduled to close. The screenplay was adapted by Gersten from her own play, Body of Work, which she based on her visits to the Jubilee! show shortly before its closure in 2016.
The film had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6, 2024, and was began a limited theatrical release in the United States on December 13, before expanding on January 10, 2025. It received generally positive reviews from critics, with Anderson's performance garnering critical praise. The film received two nominations at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama (Anderson) and Best Original Song for "Beautiful That Way", and two at the 31st Screen Actors Guild Awards for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role (Anderson) and Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role (Curtis). Curtis additionally received a nomination at the British Academy Film Awards for Best Supporting Actress for her performance.
Plot
[edit]Shelly Gardner is a 57-year-old showgirl who has performed for three decades in Le Razzle Dazzle, a classic French-style revue at a casino on the Las Vegas Strip. Her co-stars in the show now include several younger women, including Mary-Anne and Jodie, who view Shelly as a mother figure. Shelly's older friend, Annette, maintains a close kinship with Shelly, despite having been ousted from the show years prior, and now works as a cocktail waitress.
Eddie, the producer of the show, joins Annette, Mary-Anne, and Jodie for an impromptu dinner at Shelly's home. He breaks the news that Le Razzle Dazzle is due to close in two weeks due to declining ticket sales, and is to be replaced by the more contemporary, neo-burlesque circus show that already took over their most popular nights. Shelly is crestfallen by the news, and views the replacement show as obscene and garish. Mary-Anne and Jodie begin auditioning for roles in other shows on the Las Vegas Strip, despite Shelly's objections that they are low-class and too risqué.
Shelly, who has no means for retirement and little resources, worries for her livelihood. Her newest paychecks are smaller due to the fewer shows with less ticket-buyers, and she is docked for tearing her costume which required new fabric to be ordered. Meanwhile, Annette faces her own financial struggles, largely stemming from her alcoholism and gambling addiction. Shelly reaches out to Hannah, her semi-estranged daughter. Hannah lived with family friends for much of her adolescence and is now a photography student in Tucson nearing graduation. Hannah briefly visits Shelly at her home, but their reunion is marred by Hannah's emotional distance and Shelly's lack of realism. Shelly displays her lack of knowledge about her daughter, like forgetting her age and asking if she has declared a major. Hannah declines dinner with Shelly that night but later changes her mind and they enjoy each other's company.
Hannah attends a Le Razzle Dazzle performance, unbeknownst to Shelly. After, Hannah confronts Shelly in the dressing room, offended that her mother prioritized the show over caring for her. Shelly storms out and Hannah briefly meets Eddie before leaving. Jodie comes by Shelly's place distraught because her own mother will not talk to her, but Shelly is unempathetic and rebuffs her. At the next show, Jodie refuses to help Shelly get ready, leading her to rip part of her costume and ultimately miss her cue, breaking down on the floor backstage. Shelly invites Eddie to dinner, where she discusses her future and feelings of alienation as an aging woman, frustrated that Eddie can continue working for the casino as a producer of the new show. Through their conversation, it is revealed that Eddie is Hannah's father, a fact which neither have ever disclosed to Hannah. Eddie implies his disappointment about Hannah's upbringing, while Shelly condemns Eddie for his failure to be present in Hannah's life.
Shelly auditions at a casting call also attended by Mary-Anne. The audition goes poorly, as Shelly is clearly nervous and unfamiliar with modern auditioning. The director stops Shelly early and tells they are seeking acrobatic or "sexier" acts. He plainly tells her she is not a talented dancer, and made up for it with youth and looks when she was hired years ago at Le Razzle Dazzle, but is not "selling" that anymore. Shelly is shattered and humiliated, and Mary-Anne misses her own audition slot to console her and get her to leave the stage. Before driving off, Shelly verbally attacks Mary-Anne in her grief over giving up her life for this unforgiving industry, telling her she is not their mother and she does not love them.
Annette loses her home when she is unable to make her rent, admitting to Shelly that she has been showering in the casino's locker room and sleeping in her car. Shelly offers to let her stay with her. Shelly leaves Hannah a voicemail apologizing and appears to reconcile with Jodie and Mary-Anne. At the final performance of Le Razzle Dazzle, Shelly envisions Hannah smiling at her backstage and watching excitedly in the audience with Eddie, but it is unclear if Hannah truly forgave her or if it was just a manifestation of Shelly's hopes.

Production
[edit]Development
[edit]Kate Gersten adapted the screenplay from her own unproduced play Body of Work (developed at Roundabout Theatre), which she had been inspired to write in conjunction with her visits to the Jubilee! show before it closed in 2016.[3] Coppola said that the play's structure allowed them to keep the story contained and create an intimate movie.[4][5] She began collaborating with producer and cousin Robert Schwartzman in 2021, opting for a modest budget and short shoot to keep creative control: "By staying intimate, I get to keep my creative autonomy. When I came across Kate's play, it lends itself structurally to doing a movie in that way. There are not a lot of locations and a small cast, so you can be insulated."[6]
Casting
[edit]The casting of Pamela Anderson, Jamie Lee Curtis, Dave Bautista, Brenda Song, Kiernan Shipka and Billie Lourd was announced in February 2024 as filming had wrapped.[7] Coppola wanted to cast Anderson as Shelly after watching her 2023 documentary Pamela, a Love Story.[8] She sent the script to Anderson's then-agent who turned it down within the hour without letting Anderson know about it. Coppola then reached out to Anderson's son Brandon through mutual friends, passing it along to his mother, who had largely given up on acting.[1][9] Anderson said: "I've been handed a lot of scripts in my life, but never a challenge like this. You don't see parts like this when you're working in your bathing suit. I was so drawn to the character, I heard her voice in my head and pictured everything. I thought, 'Oh! This is that thing people talk about when they read material and know they have to do it.'"[10] Anderson likened the film's style and her emotional trust with Coppola to the works of John Cassavetes and Gena Rowlands.[11] Curtis agreed to star in the film when director Coppola told her Anderson was playing the lead character.[12][13] Similarly to Anderson and Curtis, Coppola instantly thought of Bautista for his part after recalling a conversation between the two from years prior about his desire for dramatic roles.[5]
Filming
[edit]Principal photography took place on location in Las Vegas over the course of 18 days[14] on a budget of under $2 million.[15] Coppola was inspired by nonfiction views of Vegas, from documentaries to the work of the late journalist and art critic Dave Hickey, stating: "I didn't look to movies for inspiration on this project; I was looking to photography. I knew this world because of that." Coppola reunited with cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw, who shot her 2013 directorial feature film debut Palo Alto as well as 2020's Mainstream. Arkapaw shot The Last Showgirl on 16mm film to capture a raw, grainy quality, using a handheld camera and custom anamorphic lenses.[6] The scenes with Curtis were shot first as she only had four days available to film.[12]
The showgirl costumes worn by the cast in the film were archival pieces designed by Peter Menefee[16] and Bob Mackie, some of which were used in the actual Jubilee! revue.[17]

The film's score was written by Andrew Wyatt; Coppola sent him some stills and invited him to the film's shoot in Las Vegas in order to persuade him to join the project.[18] Wyatt watched the film's final cut the day after his "I'm Just Ken" performance at the 96th Academy Awards, and suggested to Coppola to incorporate an original song instead of a Dean Martin song that was previously present at the end of the film.[18] He reached out to Swedish musician Lykke Li, as he felt he needed a female perspective to go with the film's themes; the two had known each other for decades and founded Ingrid together in 2012.[18] The film's closing song, "Beautiful That Way", was performed by Miley Cyrus, and written by Wyatt, Li, and Cyrus.[19] Wyatt was working on Cyrus's upcoming studio album, and felt that her career from child star to adult musician would provide a good perspective while writing the song.[20] The song was a last-minute addition to the film; Jamie Lee Curtis persuaded Cyrus to get involved at the 2024 ceremony when they were both inducted as Disney Legends and Cyrus got in touch with Wyatt the following day.[18] Wyatt aimed for "Beautiful That Way" to sound like a Patsy Cline song.[20] The ballad was released as a single on December 9, 2024, and received a nomination for Best Original Song at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards.[21] It was also nominated for Best Song at the 30th Critics' Choice Awards, but it was not shortlisted for Best Original Song at the 97th Academy Awards, which was widely regarded as a snub.[22][23][24][25] The score was released digitally on December 20, 2024, through Milan Records.[26]

Release
[edit]In May 2024, unveiling the first look for the film, Goodfellas and Utopia, the latter of which was co-founded by Coppola's cousin once removed Robert Schwartzman, announced that they would be teaming up to handle international sales on the film, which had already generated much interest among distributors, at the Marché du Film.[27]
It had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6, 2024.[28][29] It also made it to the main competition slate of the 72nd San Sebastián International Film Festival.[30] On September 27, Roadside Attractions acquired distribution rights to the film.[19] A few days later, it was announced that Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions had acquired all remaining international distribution rights to the film, including Latin America, France, Scandinavia, Greece, Portugal, Turkey, Israel, Eastern Europe excluding Poland, Asia, and Africa.[31] The film was released in one theater in Los Angeles for one week beginning December 13, 2024 in order to qualify for the 97th Academy Awards, before receiving a wide release on January 10, 2025.[32] The movie premiere scheduled for January 9 at the Chinese Theatre was canceled due to the Los Angeles wildfires.[33]
Reception
[edit]Box office
[edit]During its one-week run in Los Angeles in December 2024, the film earned $77,589 screening at one theater.[2] It was the fifth best per-screen opening of the year and marked Roadside's second-highest opening per-screen average in its 20-year history.[34] Upon its expanded theatrical release on January 10, 2025, it grossed $620,700 on its opening day from 870 venues in the United States, and debuted in tenth place at the weekend box office with $1,536,314.[35][36]
Critical response
[edit]On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 80% of 152 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.9/10. The website's consensus reads: "A wistful showcase for Pamela Anderson in a refreshingly dramatic role, The Last Showgirl pays homage to the working class of Las Vegas with a superb collection of performances."[37] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 67 out of 100, based on 33 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.[38]
Writing for KTLA News in Los Angeles, critic Russell Falcon positively compared the film's themes to those of Coralie Fargeat's The Substance, opining that both films observe the prices women pay for their beauty and career. Time's Stephanie Zacharek named Anderson's performance as one of the 10 best of 2024, writing that her "take-me-as-I-am face intensifies both the vulnerability and the defiance she brings to the role."[39]
Writing out of the film's world premiere RogerEbert.com's Marya E. Gates praised Anderson for her nuanced performance, writing, "As Shelly, Anderson is a revelation, bringing the same balance of buoyancy and pathos that Judy Holliday brought to each of her roles."[40] Sheila O'Malley also compared Anderson to Judy Holliday, further writing, "And so “comeback” isn’t the right word at all for Anderson’s performance, one of the best of the year. Her performance is an inadvertent indictment of an industry who pumped her up while simultaneously de-valuing her, barely considering her an “actress” at all. Nobody could play Shelly the way Anderson plays it.[41]" Citing Pamela Anderson's turn as Shelly as one of the ten best performances of the year, The Boston Globe's Odie Henderson writes, "Anderson gives the kind of lived-in performance that proves the actor knew her character inside and out."[42]
