AceShowbiz - Pamela Anderson, who rose to fame as a Playboy model in 1989, has received a Golden Globe nomination for her captivating portrayal of Shelly, a Las Vegas dancer navigating a crossroads in her life and relationships, in new movie "The Last Showgirl". It marks her first-ever nod at the awards show in her career that spanned decades.

In a heartfelt statement, Anderson expressed gratitude for her nomination, sharing it with "The Last Showgirl Family, my family, and my hard working companions on this interesting journey." She emphasized that "it is never too late to dream, to start again, to stay open to possibilities."

The actress also penned a heartfelt message on Instagram.

The film, which also features standout performances by Kiernan Shipka, Brenda Song, Billie Lourd, and Jamie Lee Curtis, follows Shelly and her fellow dancers as they face an uncertain future. Anderson's character must also confront her estranged relationship with her daughter.
