Anderson's portrayal of Roxie Hart in the Broadway revival of 'Chicago' in 2022 prepared her for the emotional depth required in 'The Last Showgirl', with director Gia Coppola expertly exploring the human resilience of Vegas performers.
Though the film touches on Anderson's past experiences of being sexualized and objectified, she hopes it will be defined by her powerful performance and the film's message about finding purpose beyond one's past.
