Pamela Anderson, a long-standing icon in Hollywood, is embracing 2025 as a fresh chapter in her acting journey. While she’s been a familiar face on screens since her 'Baywatch' days, Anderson sees her latest role as the real beginning of something new.
Attending the U.K. premiere of 'The Naked Gun', the 58-year-old actress expressed that she views this moment as the start of her true career. She shared that she’s thrilled to be part of the film and to finally portray a fully developed character, a departure from many of her earlier roles.
'The Naked Gun' is a modern reimagining of the 1988 comedy classic originally led by Leslie Nielsen and Priscilla Presley. In the new adaptation, Pamela Anderson plays Beth Davenport, a seductive femme fatale entangled with Frank Drebin Jr., played by Liam Neeson — the bumbling police lieutenant and son of Nielsen’s iconic character.

Liam Neeson has spoken highly of Anderson’s performance, noting her professionalism, lack of ego, and natural comedic timing. He praised her dedication on set and remarked that she brings something truly special to the role.
This latest comedic turn follows Anderson’s critically acclaimed performance in 'The Last Showgirl', a moving drama directed by Gia Coppola. In that film, she portrayed Shelly, a seasoned Las Vegas performer facing the end of her longtime revue show, Les Razzle Dazzle. The role earned Pamela Anderson widespread praise, including a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress alongside Hollywood heavyweights like Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman, and Kate Winslet.
Pamela Anderson Longed For Emotional Roles
Anderson revealed earlier this year that she had longed for the kind of emotional depth and self-expression 'The Last Showgirl' offered. She admitted that she once felt stuck in a public persona that limited her growth — almost as if she'd become a caricature of herself, with little hope of moving beyond it.

The role nearly slipped away, too. Her former agent declined to pass her the script, forcing director Gia Coppola to reach out to Anderson's son to ensure she received it. Anderson said she remains deeply thankful for that opportunity and doesn’t take it for granted.
Pamela Anderson is making waves in Hollywood again, this time by showing off her talent in both drama and comedy. Critics are taking notice, and it's clear she’s not just looking back at her past — she’s creating a bold new chapter in her career.
Catch 'The Naked Gun' in theatres across the country starting 1st August.
