Pamela Anderson's Life Prepared Her For 'In other news,' She Says
Anderson sits down with ‘Anora’s Mikey Madison to talk all things acting and girlhood.
From fronting Playboy to her natural era, Pamela Anderson’s life is full of inspiration.
In Variety’s latest segment of “Actors on Actors,” the star sits down with Anora’s Mikey Madison to discuss her new film, The Last Showgirl.
In her new film, Anderson plays “A seasoned showgirl who must plan for her future when her show abruptly closes after a 30-year run,” the description reveals. In conversation with Madison, Anderson shares that her journey made the creation of this film quite personal. ”I was able to bring a lot of my own personal experience, my long life of dealing with beauty and glamour and aging and reassessing life choices. I got to bring my whole life into this role,” she said.
However, where some feel she should be ashamed of her self-expression, she refuses to be. “A lot of the things I went through, I didn’t realize my kids were going through them at the same time. Being a working mom and being in this entertainment world and having your mom be sexualized in some way — I didn’t realize how difficult it was.” But, “I’m not ashamed of the choices that I made, even though maybe in hindsight I would’ve done things differently. But you need life experience to know that you would’ve done that differently.”
Madison chimed in, “I don’t think there’s anything to be shamed about.
This incredible, amazing life you had made you the person that you are, and that’s why you were able to give the performance you were able to give.”
“I’m trying to tell myself that too,” Anderson reflected. “And I feel like now I have the freedom to focus on things instead of worrying about a relationship or my family. My kids are grown. I’m free. Now I can play again.”
