JAKARTA - The Toronto International Film Festival has hosted many world-class film stars. Call it Brendan Fraser, the main character in the film, The Whale. And now, the star in the spotlight is none other than Pamela Anderson.

Pamela Anderson plays in the film The Last Showgirl, an indie drama that tells of an old Las Vegas stage girl.bany (Anderson) is the old star of a casino dance performance featuring women dressed in minimal and coated with fur who have gone through their beautiful times.

The film, which was sold at the Toronto International Film Festival, reaped various reviews but lively applause for 57-year-old Anderson.

"I've been preparing myself my whole life for this role," Anderson told audiences at the Princess of Wales Theater after an premiere reported by VOI from AP, Sunday, September 8.

For Anderson, whose most prominent works include "Baywatches" and "Borat," the festival's praise is a new experience. Even just getting a script like "The Last Showgirl" is something new to him.

"This is the first time I've read a good script, first of all. I've never found a coherent script," Anderson said. "I'm like: I'm the only one who can do this. I've never felt that strong about anything."

"The Last Showgirl" extended a series of fortunes for former Playboy Playmate, which includes its 2023 memoir "Love, Pamela" and the Netflix documentary nominated by Emmy "Pamela, A Love Story." The film also has some of the same themes as other TIFF entries, the body horror film "The Substance." The film, starring Demi Moore, also grapples with maturity for women's entertainers.

Jamie Lee Curtis, who plays a dark-lit casino waiter in "The Last Showgirl", became emotional when discussing his character.
