Pamela Anderson appears to shine in the first look of her new film.

The 56-year-old actress, who has signed on for the Naked Gun reboot, will star in her first leading role in years in The Last Showgirl.

Director Giancarla (Gia) Coppola, 37 – whose grandfather is The Godfather’s Francis Ford Coppola – shared on social media on Friday a photo of a pensive Anderson, dressed in her glittering regalia, with the Las Vegas strip in the background.

The former Baywatch star will play a Vegas performer who is left without a job when her show abruptly closes after a 30-year run.

As a dancer in her 50s, her character struggles with what to do next and tries to repair a strained relationship with her daughter after years of focusing primarily on her showgirl family.

Jamie Lee Curtis, 65, who stars in the upcoming drama, shared the photo and wrote, “So excited for the world to see @pamelaanderson @davebautista @praisethelourd @kiernanshipka @brendasong in @giancarla.coppola @itskategersten THE LAST SHOWGIRL! ‘

The film has already received international attention.

Paris-based sales and production company Good Fellas and US distributor and sales company Utopia are teaming up in Cannes to jointly sell the film.

Deadline reported that it was the first time the two major companies had done this.

“We are very excited to launch overseas sales for Gia Coppola’s upcoming film, The Last Showgirl,” Goodfellas’ head of sales Eva Diederix and Utopia VP Sales Marie Zeniter said in a joint statement to the outlet.

“This is exactly the kind of title distributors should be looking for: a compelling directorial voice, a great cast and strong theatrical potential.”

Both executives praised Anderson’s performance, adding, “Combined with a compelling story, this film embodies the strength, resilience and creativity of women’s voices in independent cinema.”

The script was written by Kate Gersten, known for her work on TV series such as The Good Place and Schmigadoon!

“As we embark on this journey, we can’t wait for audiences around the world to experience the magic of this film.”

The film does not yet have a US distributor or release date.

This will probably be arranged fairly quickly at the Cannes Marketplace, which takes place simultaneously with the film festival from May 14 to 22.

The Last Showgirl is Anderson’s first feature film since 2022’s Alone At Night.

She was also the focus of the Netflix documentary Pamela: A Love Story, which was released by the streamer in 2023.

The leading lady shared the first look on her Instagram Stories and commented with a heart and clapperboard emojis.
