Pamela’s new film was directed by Gia Coppola, granddaughter of The Godfather director Francis Ford Coppola and niece of Lost In Translation filmmaker Sofia Coppola.
Gia revealed that she was inspired to cast her lead after watching her 2023 Netflix documentary, Pamela, A Love Story.
Released around the same time as her memoir Love, Pamela, the documentary allowed her to bare her soul about her career, her relationships and the trauma of the scandal when a sex tape with Tommy Lee was stolen and leaked.
While watching Pamela’s documentary, Gia was “very impressed with her knowledge of artistic film, art and philosophy,” she said. Deadline.
“I saw a woman who was on the verge of wanting to express herself creatively.”
However, when Pamela’s agent received the script for The Last Showgirl, he didn’t even pass it to her before rejecting it.
“He thought it wasn’t right for me,” Pamela said. ‘He thought he couldn’t do it. At that time, they didn’t offer me anything. But also, in a way, I had also given up.

However, Pamela and Tommy’s son, Brandon Thomas Lee, came to the rescue when he found the script in his mother’s agent’s office.
Brandon, who had produced the Netflix documentary that inspired Gia to send the script to Pamela in the first place, then brought The Last Showgirl to his mother’s attention.
Pamela shared that she read the script and “felt it.” I had to do it. I felt Shelly right away. I knew it was fine. There’s something karmic there because if Brandon hadn’t made that documentary and Gia hadn’t seen it, I wouldn’t be doing this.”
After premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival in September to warm critical response, The Last Showgirl will hit theaters on December 13.
