Miscellaneous Pamela Anderson honored for her career at the Zurich Film Festival

Pamela Anderson, once known for her wild lifestyle and her role in the cult series "Baywatch", showed herself to be an actress to be taken seriously in Zurich. The Zurich Film Festival (ZFF) presented her with a Golden Eye Award for her multifaceted career.

She is said to have given a single autograph outside on Sechseläutenplatz on Friday evening, as was rumored among the media at the end of the Green Carpet.

And shortly afterwards she appeared, quietly and quietly, the eagerly awaited Pamela Anderson. Wearing a pink robe, which was more of a cape, she stepped in front of the cameras. She talks so quietly, movie people were heard to say. You can't even hear much through the headphones.

In addition, the 57-year-old Canadian-American actress appeared almost without make-up. Or even better: made up in such a way that it perfectly emphasized her new vulnerability.

Festival director Christian Jungen presented her with a Golden Eye Award at the Kongresshaus. For her career, which has gone from one extreme to the other. He praised her for her "Oscar-worthy performance" in the film "The Last Showgirl" by Gia Coppola, which was shown in a gala premiere at the Zurich Film Festival.

"Pamela Anderson plays so well that you forget the person behind the character," said Jungen. To which Anderson later replied that she was actually playing herself. Her role as 50-year-old showgirl Shelly, who is at the end of her career and has to save her relationship with her daughter, has parallels to her own life. "When I read the script, I thought: that's me. No one else can play this role."

Underestimated throughout her life

Pamela Anderson read her acceptance speech from an A4 sheet of paper. Her words were very reminiscent of the texts she has been sending to her fans in a weekly newsletter for a while now. They are always encouraging words from a woman who has been underestimated throughout her life.

She built on this narrative in Zurich: "We are all valuable - even in our fifties," she said. And referring to herself: "You can destroy a building, but not a person." Her time is far from over. On the contrary, she was just getting started.

Pamela Anderson handed her reading glasses and cheat sheet to ZFF Director Christian Jungen before the subsequent talk with presenter Tanya König. And retrieved both before quietly walking out of the room - leaving an impressed audience behind.
