‘The Naked Gun’ star Pamela Anderson was ‘terrified’ of performing ‘crazy’ jazz scat
If the game does not work for Pamela Anderson, she might want to consider a career in jazz.
In the new Naked pistol Film, in theaters on August 1, Beth Davenport by Anderson goes on stage to interpret a scat number, as well as a distraction so that Frank Drebin Jr. of Liam Neeson can infiltrate the back-room of a supper club belonging to a technological billionaire Richard Cane (Danny Huston) to find proof that Cane killed one of his programmers, the brother of Beth, Simon.
Just as she played Roxie Hart Chicago In Broadway in 2022, Anderson can present his singing skills – but this time with an absurd number entitled Sassafras chicken in D.
Elizabeth Gillies, which is currently featuring in the production outside the Broadway of Small horrors shop, has collaborated with several of Naked pistol The Swing and Jazz albums of the producer Seth MacFarlane.
