Christian Jungen, the artistic director of the Zurich Film Festival heaped praise on Pamela Anderson for her powerful performance in The Last Showgirl. He said, “Pamela poured her heart and soul into the character of Shelley and captivated us right from the start. She completely immersed herself in her character, turned Shelley’s inner life inside out with her facial expressions and made sure that we sympathized with her,” as quoted by the media portal. 

He added, “A terrific performance, perhaps the best of her career, which deserves an Oscar nomination. We are therefore delighted to honor Pamela Anderson, this cult actress with whom many of us have grown up and who has reinvented herself time and again, at the Zurich Film Festival.”

Other celebrities who will be honoured at the Zurich Film Festival include Kate Winslet, Jude Law and Alicia Vikander.
