"I am just happy to be here, in this moment, because I think I have had depression for a couple of decades."

Anderson made her Broadway debut in 2022 playing Roxie Hart in "Chicago" for eight weeks, and she has gone on to land a number of film roles, including The Last Showgirl, Rosebush Pruning and a role in the new Naked Gun movie, which is due for release next year.

She explained she is thrilled to be busy with work again and believes her 2023 Netflix documentary, Pamela, a Love Story,  helped revive her career after The Last Showgirl director Gia Coppola watched it.

She added, "That's how Gia saw me. I always knew I was capable of more. It's great to be a part of pop culture, but it's a blessing and a curse. People fall in love with you because of a bathing suit. It has taken a long time, but I am here."
