“Pamela Anderson is so incredible and wonderful in this film, and just I can’t wait for everyone to see her,” Shipka said. “It’s really a performance that changed me as a performer, and I’m just really lucky to be a part of it.”
Shipka added that her fellow showgirls Brenda Song and Jamie Lee Curtis are also “amazing” onscreen.
