Movie Monday: Rapid Fire Q & A From “The Last Showgirl”

Adorable. Pamela Anderson and Kiernan Shipka are adorable. That’s it. That’s all you need to know.

Ok, but I do have more on this Movie Monday…

I have not seen The Last Showgirl yet but early reviews were expecting Pamela Anderson to receive an Oscar Nom for her role as Shelly (a seasoned showgirl dealing with her show abruptly closing after a 30-year run). The nominations just came out and she didn’t get one. After reading Pamela Anderson’s memoir last year, “Love Pamela”, I just want all good things to come her way. I really like her a lot.

Maybe it’s because we’re kindred spirits- both Cancer water signs in the zodiac. Maybe it’s because she just seems like a sweetie. Maybe it’s because she also doesn’t eat meat so we’d be easy lunch buddies. Either way, I think we’d be friends.

So maybe it’s just me, but this is one of the realest Hollywood interviews I’ve seen in a long time. Two friends, just sitting and chatting like normal friends do. Except these friends are in the limelight a lot more than normal friends are. So how cute is it that when asked, “What’s the best gift you’ve ever received…”, one of them answers: a handwritten note from my son. Adorable.

Adorable!!

At the end, they’re asked some Rapid Fire Q & A Questions and I thought it would be fun for all of us to play along. So here’s my quick answers and I would love to see yours, too! Email [email protected]

And to wrap up this Movie Monday, here’s a movie recommendation for you fellow scary movie lovers starring Kiernan Shipka that you may not know about. The Blackcoat’s Daughter (2015) is one that slipped by me when it was new but I watched it just recently and it was pretty darned good. Kiernan also played a small role in the Longlegs (2024) and while I liked that movie, my mom and husband thought it was dumb. Well… that’s why there are more than one movie on the library shelves. Or on your streaming service of choice, but the library movies are free!

Until next week…
