Abstract

This article examines the rebranding of Pamela Anderson, who appears in the documentary Pamela, A Love Story (2023) and as an aging Las Vegas showgirl in The Last Showgirl (2024). Ouellette situates the transformation of Anderson’s star image – Playboy pinup to legitimated actress and lifestyle maven – within the remediation of femininity and female empowerment discourse.
