Miley Cyrus & Pamela Anderson Reflect on Growth in The Last Showgirl Promo January 2025

Cyrus, 32, revealed that Anderson, 57, has been her idol since childhood, inspiring her bold persona and career choices. “Ever since I was little, it was only Pam when people asked what I wanted to be. The tattoos, the hair, all of it—I wanted to be a showgirl!” Cyrus shared. Anderson, known for her iconic Baywatch role, has evolved into a respected actress and activist, a transformation Cyrus admires. “I’ve had so many pivots and detours, but they’ve all led to something more real,” Cyrus reflected.

Both stars emphasized the value of authenticity and learning from life’s challenges. Anderson, who once wished to leave her past behind, now embraces it as part of her identity. “I’m not ashamed of my life. I don’t need to let anything go,” she stated. Cyrus echoed this sentiment, expressing pride in every stage of her life, even the uncertain moments. “I wouldn’t go back and change anything—except maybe a couple of outfits!” she joked.

Cyrus’s contribution to the film, the hauntingly beautiful song “Beautiful That Way,” adds emotional depth to the narrative. The track, co-written with Andrew Wyatt and Lykke Li, underscores the film’s themes of transformation and resilience.

Directed by Gia Coppola, The Last Showgirl features a stellar cast, including Jamie Lee Curtis and Kiernan Shipka, and has garnered critical acclaim for Anderson’s performance. Despite an Oscar snub, Anderson remains focused on the joy of her craft. “Doing the work is the win,” she said.
