Pamela Anderson Set for Torino Film Festival Lifetime Achievement Award (EXCLUSIVE)

Pamela Anderson will be honored with a lifetime achievement award at Italy’s Torino Film Festival, where she will introduce a special screening of Gia Coppola’s “The Last Showgirl.”

“We thought we knew everything about her, but in this film every gesture of hers revealed a sensitivity as a performer that is both moving and surprising,” Base continued.

Anderson will be honored with Torino’s Stella della Mole Award, previous recipients of which include Spike Lee, Antonio Banderas, Angelina Jolie and Sharon Stone.

Segueing from “The Last Showgirl,” Anderson starred alongside Liam Neeson in Paramount’s reboot of “The Naked Gun” and in Karim Aïnouz’s Berlin-premiering family satire “Rosebush Pruning” with Riley Keough, Callum Turner, Elle Fanning, Jamie Bell, Lucas Gage and Tracy Letts. She was subsequently at the Venice Film Festival in September with Kornél Mundruczó’s road movie “Place to Be,” in which she co-starred with Ellen Burstyn, Taika Waititi and Murray Bartlett.

Anderson has also recently wrapped filming on several upcoming films, including Brian Klugman’s “Somedays” with Billy Bob Thornton; Michael Cera’s directorial debut “Love Is Not the Answer,” an absurdist comedy which is in which she co-stars with Steve Coogan and Jamie Dornan; and Sally Potter’s “Alma” alongside Richard E. Grant.

Torino’s 44nd edition will be held Nov. 24-Dec. 2 in the Northern Italian city of Turin.
