Pamela Anderson to Receive Golden Eye Award at Zurich Film Festival

As a cinephile who has spent countless hours immersed in the silver screen world, I find myself genuinely thrilled about Pamela Anderson’s upcoming role in “The Last Showgirl.” Having grown up with her as an iconic figure, it’s fascinating to see her evolve and redefine herself through the medium of film.


The Zurich Film Festival, taking place from October 3rd to the 13th, plans to honor Pamela Anderson. On October 4th, she will be awarded the Golden Eye Award in recognition of her notable career accomplishments. Prior to this, she will also collaborate with director Gia Coppola to present “The Last Showgirl”.

In this movie, Anderson portrays Shelley, a 50-year-old showgirl from Las Vegas. When her show ends after running for thirty years, she encounters an unpredictable future and endeavors to rebuild her strained bond with her daughter, receiving support from her coworker Annette, played by Jamie Lee Curtis.

The festival stated: “Director Gia Coppola has skillfully created a tender and melancholic tribute to a dancer near the end of her career with this nighttime Las Vegas movie. Pamela Anderson gives a moving portrayal in the flawlessly chosen leading part.

Christian Jungen, the creative head of Zurich Film Festival, commented: “Pamela breathed life into the role of Shelley, captivating us from the get-go. She became one with her character, revealing Shelley’s inner world through her facial expressions, and ensuring we empathized with her.

He added: “A terrific performance, perhaps the best of her career, which deserves an Oscar nomination. We are therefore delighted to honor Pamela Anderson, this cult actress with whom many of us have grown up and who has reinvented herself time and again, at the Zurich Film Festival.”

Kate Gersten penned ‘The Last Showgirl’, a production graced by the presence of Kiernan Shipka, Billie Lourd, Dave Bautista, and Brenda Song.

CAA, Goodfellas and Utopia are handling rights on the film.
