Pamela Anderson had a rather risk of ascent and down her career.
This could explain why so much stoic is due to leakage of an Oscar nomination for his role in the last showgirl.
“Victory is a work,” the Canadian actress told BBC News.
“You couldn’t tell me that I would be here about ten years ago, so this is very exciting for me, even to be in conversation.”
Anderson, 57, was able to achieve nominations at the Guild Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild awards for his role in Gia Coppola about the Bledan dancer in Las Vegas.
But she does not run for the Academy awards, which are held this Sunday in Los Angeles.
“I just want everyone well,” she said.
“I think anyone, any actor, realizes that all this is talking about another chance that you can perform and share your talent with the world.”
Anderson stood out on the 1990 Baywatch TV series.
At the time, the most watched television show in the world became a rescue drama, which is still the role that is most famous.
But in three decades since she first ran out of California beaches, fans and critics met with different parts of Anderson’s life story, including Playboy Covers, leaked the sex strip And many marriages.
In 2022, the Hulu Pam & Tommy series told the story that Anderson and now ex-husband Tommy Lee was stolen and illegally arranged in the mid-90s.
Anderson later criticized the series In an interview with Varietydescribing this as “shocking” and inviting the people behind her to apologize to her.
Now she’s starring in a new movie, which is also about another chance.
In the last showgirl, the leading character Shelly, played by Anderson, has to plan her future after her show is suddenly closed.
Many critics have pulled parallels with Anderson’s own life in the spotlight, and she does not dispute it.
“I think it attracted me to the project, that it was so relativized to so many levels,” said Anderson of the movie.
She added that his central theme, which struggles to work as your career as a woman in later medium, is something “many generations of women” faced.
In the movie, Shelly is portrayed as a tense relationship with her daughter Hannah.
Shellyna’s career as a showgirl means she often works late, which made her miss out of important moments like sleeping with Hannah.
It is also something Anderson says it can relate.
He shares two sons, Brandon Thomas (28) and Dylan Jagger, 27, with his ex -husband, drummer Mötley Crüe Tommy Lee.
She said that for all working moms, she had no “appropriate way” to be a parent, followed by their dreams and following a career.
“So this movie is, I think, in a very vulnerable space.
“And it was an interesting role to play with all her imperfections and selfishness and selflessness. And there were many layers and shades of the character I could really connect with. “
The last showgirl received a mixed reception from critics, although most praised Anderson’s appearance.
New York Times called him “Sensitive and scary” and described Anderson as “blinding.” But the guard She awarded only one star, calling her “great disappointment.”
Many also described the role as Anderson’s “return”. She does not refuse the expression, but says that she prefers him as a “new chapter.”
“I’ve always been fascinated by the craft of acting,” she said. “[But] My personal life took me out of my way, and I raised two beautiful boys. “
She is not the only actress who has returned to the center of attention this season.
Demi Moore was nominated for Best Actress On the Oscars for their role in a substance, a body horror that has revived her career.
“I’m really happy about Demi,” Anderson said. “I think she earned her place. And you have to make money. You have to fight for that.”
With so strong female protagonists in this year’s movies, I’m curious that Anderson is now thinking of Baywatch.
The show has long been criticized for portraying their female characters, which, many claimed, were sexualized and denied meaningful lines.
“I didn’t see it at all. I thought it was quite innocent and healthy and, and to watch fun,” she said.
“I always felt like I was surrounded by such amazing people, rescuers who were also firefighters or firefighters. It’s really, really, empowered.”
Rejection of makeup
Anderson has always seen that he embodies the appearance that has appeared in a prominent in the 90s – lean, blonde and enhanced by plastic surgery.
But in recent years, she has had a “mockery without a model”, she has decided to accept her natural look instead.
“My beauty routine is a vacation. And this is more important to me today,” she told me.
She said it was not that she was against makeup, but more to think it was “time and place” for it.
“This is a chapter, for me, it was just acceptance and discovering who I am. What are my original thoughts? What do I have to give?” she said.
“I know I have a lot more to give in this world, and in this industry, and I feel like I even have to remember who I need to start with, and then I hope, play characters in movies, not in my personal life.”
