Gia Coppola's drama gives the pop-culture icon a chance to go deep as a Vegas showgirl taking her final bow. Whether it works is another story

Few are so strongly associated with Southern California like Pamela Anderson, but the Canadian-born actress won’t get her time in spotlight tomorrow due to the fires and high winds battering LA Thursday’s premiere of the Anderson starring The Last Showgirl at the Chinese Theatre has been cancelled,

There’s a scene in “The Last Showgirl ” where the namesake showgirl, Shelly ( Pamela Anderson ), auditions for a man whose voice we hear offstage. “Age?” he asks before the music starts. “Oh. A gentleman never asks a lady her age,” she says breathily with a nervous smile, then adds, “36? Sorry, I lied. I’m 42.”
