The Last Showgirl

“The Last Showgirl” is the story of an over-the-hill dancer in an out-dated Las Vegas revue that is closing. Her whole life is this second class show. We learn that she has a daughter who does not live with her and her friends are other showgirls. Pamela Anderson is the main character. She shows a lot of vulnerability and is not afraid to show her age. I did not care for this film. It was kind of gritty, showing the lower side of Vegas. Jamie Lee Curtis plays an older, former showgirl who is working as a cocktail waitress. Curtis pulls out all the stops for this role. She might end up with an Oscar nomination. Not bad, but not great.
