One of Hollywood’s biggest cheerleaders has been sidelined at this year’s Oscars. Jamie Lee Curtis was snubbed for her performance in The Last Showgirl despite recent Best Supporting Actress nominations at both the SAG Awards and BAFTAs.

In the latest edition of The Dispatch, Derek C. Blasberg talks to the duo about how fate (and Coppola’s determination) brought them together for The Last Showgirl.

Directed by Gia Coppola, “The Last Showgirl,” follows Shelly (Pamela Anderson) as a Las Vegas showgirl whose show, after 30 years of performing, abruptly closes — forcing her to forge a path for her future.

Director Gia Coppola doesn’t force any observations ... then pops the bubble when Annette turns up. Played by Jamie Lee Curtis, she’s a tough broad who knows what sells.

Some fans are claiming that Jamie Lee Curtis has been snubbed by the Academy for her role in 'The Last Showgirl'.

After “Baywatch,” that “Pam and Tommy” miniseries and a documentary on Netflix, Pamela Anderson was ready for a change. She gets it with "The Last Showgirl."

The "Baywatch" actor has earned the best reviews of her career for her performance in the film, which co-stars Jamie Lee Curtis.

Starring Pamela Anderson, The Last Showgirl continues to do well at the box office despite no Academy Award nominations.

Pamela portrayed Shelly Gardner, a middle-aged Las Vegas showgirl who discovers the revue she performed in for three decades is closing. The film is based on the unproduced play Body of Work by Kate Gersten, who adapted the screenplay.

When the Academy Award nominations were announced on Thursday morning, many were disappointed that Pamela Anderson was not among the names read, but the star actress of new film “The Last Showgirl” wasn’t one of them.
