Pamela Anderson to Receive Lifetime Honour at Torino Film Festival
Pamela Anderson will be honoured with a lifetime achievement award at the Torino Film Festival in Italy, according to Variety. The festival's next edition runs from 24 November to 2 December 2026 in Turin.
The festival will also give Anderson its Stella della Mole Award. Past recipients of the prize include Spike Lee, Antonio Banderas, Angelina Jolie and Sharon Stone. The festival is run by artistic director Giulio Base.
Anderson will introduce a special screening of Gia Coppola's The Last Showgirl and hold an onstage conversation before the film. The movie earned Anderson a nomination for her performance at the 2025 Golden Globes, the awards voted on by foreign press members in Hollywood.
Her recent work spans big studio comedy and independent drama. She starred alongside Liam Neeson in Paramount's reboot of The Naked Gun. She also appeared with Ellen Burstyn, Taika Waititi and Murray Bartlett in Kornél Mundruczó's Place to Be.
Earlier in 2026, Anderson received amfAR's Award of Courage at amfAR Venezia, the gala held during the Venice Film Festival, according to Deadline.
The Torino Film Festival began in 1982 as the Festival Internazionale Cinema Giovani. Its awards have long gone to actors and directors who have built careers across decades, and Anderson's honour adds her name to that list. The festival has not yet announced the date of the award ceremony.
For Italian audiences, the chance to see a star speak in person before a screening is a draw in itself. For the festival, a headline name in its lineup means more eyes on the programme during its final weeks of planning.
