But that’s not all; Anderson is also diving into the dramatic world of ‘Rosebud Pruning,’ directed by acclaimed filmmaker Karim Ainouz. This project promises a deep, character-driven narrative, and Anderson recently shared her enjoyment of the immersive rehearsal process that involved family dinners to build on character development. ‘Karim is unbelievable,’ she said, praising the ensemble cast that includes stars like Elle Fanning, Jamie Bell, and Riley Keough.

At the festival, Anderson was honored with the prestigious Golden Eye Award, marking a significant milestone in her career. While promoting her upcoming cookbook, ‘I Love You: Recipes From the Heart,’ she reflected on her transformative journey.

‘I never thought I would be on stage, receiving an award like that. Just want to keep working. I am excited to do more,’ she revealed, shedding light on her evolving career trajectory.

This renewed sense of purpose comes on the heels of her documentary ‘Pamela, a Love Story’ and her memoir ‘Love, Pamela,’ both of which explore the complexities of her fame.

She acknowledged the duality of being a pop culture icon, saying, ‘It’s great to be a part of pop culture, but it’s a blessing and a curse.’ Despite past struggles with depression, Pamela Anderson feels invigorated and empowered by the opportunities that lie ahead.

Reflecting on her upbringing, Anderson attributes much of her creative spirit to her Finnish grandfather, who ignited her imagination and ambition from a young age. Her journey into the spotlight began with modeling, a phase she humorously downplayed. ‘I don’t know if I would call it modeling,’ she quipped, highlighting her humble beginnings.

As she looks back on her life experiences, Anderson remarked, ‘I don’t think I could have played this character in ‘The Last Showgirl’ if I wouldn’t have had the life that I had, so it was worth it.’ Her recent role as Roxie Hart in the Broadway production of ‘Chicago’ marked a pivotal moment in her career. ‘You never know what you are capable of until you try,’ she noted, reflecting on the challenges and triumphs of performing on stage.

Now, as Pamela Anderson reconnects with her roots, she is embracing her past while eagerly anticipating her future. She described the emotional journey of returning to her childhood home, expressing a desire to ‘get my power back.’ This exploration of self was further highlighted in her latest film, where she faced her fears head-on while working alongside the legendary Jamie Lee Curtis.

Recalling a light-hearted moment during their table read, she said, ‘She showed up to the table read in her spray tan… Now, I feel like I’ve known her all my life,’ showcasing the supportive bond they developed throughout the project.
