The former Baywatch star, 57, is attracting critical acclaim and awards buzz for her role in Gia Coppola’s movie, The Last Showgirl, which tells the story of a veteran dancer in Las Vegas named Shelly (Anderson) on the verge of retirement. Anderson has celebrated a career renaissance after the most challenging period of her life was dramatised in the series Pam & Tommy, which recounted her relationship with her ex-husband, the Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee, whom she divorced in 1998 when Lee was sentenced to six months in jail for assaulting her.
“I didn’t know anything about it. I didn’t have any involvement,” she said of the Hulu series. “No one called me, which was so strange, and that was hurtful.”. Pam & Tommy starred Lily James as Anderson and Sebastian Stan as her then-husband Tommy Lee. It recounted how the pair’s home video was stolen from their safe by an electrician (played by Seth Rogen) and sold online as a sex tape.
Anderson revealed last year that James sent her a handwritten letter prior to playing her, which Anderson did not read. Anderson told host Andy Cohen that she believes it was unethical for producers to make a scripted series about her personal life without her permission.
