Pamela Anderson will be recognized for her starring role in Gia Coppola’s The Last Showgirl with the Marquee Award at the 2024 SCAD Savannah Film Festival. Anderson will receive the award before the film’s Southeast premiere and she will join Coppola for a Q&A. The 2024 SCAD Savannah Film Festival kicked off on October 26 and runs through November 2.
“We are excited to have Pamela Anderson join us for the last day of the festival for a special screening of The Last Showgirl,” said Christina Routhier, executive director of the SCAD Savannah Film Festival. “Pamela gives a captivating performance in The Last Showgirl, and we are so honored to celebrate her remarkable achievements and career with the Marquee Award.”
Anderson, most recently nominated for Outstanding Lead Performance by the Gotham Awards, stars in the role of a lifetime as a seasoned showgirl who must plan for her future when her show abruptly closes after a 30-year run. As a dancer in her fifties, she struggles with what to do next. As a mother, she strives to repair a strained relationship with her daughter, who often took a backseat to her showgirl family. The film will open nationwide January 10, 2025.
The Last Showgirl premiered to rave reviews at the Toronto International Film Festival; and also screened at the San Sebastian Film Festival, where it won the Special Jury Award, and the Zurich Film Festival, at which Anderson received the Golden Eye Award.
Anderson will next appear opposite Liam Neeson in the upcoming Naked Gun film revival, which will premiere in July 2025.
Anderson joins previous honorees for this year’s festival, including Colleen Atwood (Variety Creative Impact in Costume Design Award), Jerry Bruckheimer (Legend of Entertainment Award), Colman Domingo (Spotlight Award), Karla Sofia Gascón (Distinguished Performance Award), Jharrel Jerome (Lumiere Award), Richard Linklater (Lifetime Achievement in Screenwriting Award), Mikey Madison (Breakthrough Award), Isabela Merced (Rising Star Award), Demi Moore (Icon Award), Steve McQueen (Outstanding Achievement in Directing Award), Lupita Nyong’o (Virtuoso Award), Margaret Qualley (Luminary Award), Daisy Ridley (Lumiere Award), Zoe Saldaña (Vanguard Award), and Sebastian Stan (Maverick Award).
