Canadian-American actress Pamela Anderson’s new film The Last Showgirl is being lauded by critics and audiences and is generating some serious Oscar buzz. Directed by Gia Coppola, the film centres on a Las Vegas showgirl faced with an uncertain future after learning her long-running show is set to close.

The Canadian icon joins Q’s Tom Power to talk about entering a new chapter of her career as a serious dramatic actor. She recently earned her first Golden Globe nomination for her critically acclaimed performance in The Last Showgirl.

While Pamela Anderson reinvents herself, it sometimes seems at the cost of giving the spotlight to her peers, with perhaps as much to prove.
