Pamela Anderson made her first and only Golden Globes appearance in 2006. Now, 19 years later, the star is back at the Los Angeles ceremony with a Best Performance by a Female Actor in Motion Picture – Drama nomination for her role in The Last Showgirl.
Anderson wore a black gown on the red carpet and went makeup-free. She accessorized with long black gloves and diamond jewelry, walking the red carpet solo and alongside her son, Brandon Thomas Lee.
In 2006, Anderson dressed up in a black and white column gown for her debut appearance at the ceremony:
In an interview released earlier this week, Anderson spoke to W magazine about how she ended up starring in the Gia Coppola project that earned her a Golden Globe nomination.
“It was a rocky road,” she said. “It was sent to an old agent of mine, who turned it down within five minutes. I had gone home to my garden to make pickles and jam, thinking, I’m probably never going to do a film of any substance. I was beating myself up a little bit. Then Gia found my son and sent him the script. I read it, and bells rang and I could hear the voice. It really sang to me.”
She explained how she prepared for the role as a Las Vegas dancer. “I spent time with some of the dancers from the show Jubilee and asked them a lot of questions,” she said. “They came over to my house for tea, and I learned the showgirl dos and don’ts. They don’t wear pasties—that’s one thing. And they never go down into the casino. There are a lot of rules to keep them safe. And they take great pride in their art form.”
