Gia Coppola Of “The Last Showgirl” On Making Art, Organic Wine & Heartfelt Movies

Gia Coppola is the director of “The Last Showgirl,” the poignant and beautifully crafted new film starring Pamela Anderson. Set in Las Vegas, the film explores the bittersweet end of a showgirl’s career and has been nominated for multiple awards, with Pamela’s moving portrayal of Shelly earning her Best Actress nods from both the Screen Actors Guild and the Golden Globes.

Gia joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about the film, the influence of her late grandmother, Eleanor Coppola, working as a bar back at a Thomas Keller restaurant, being a cat lady, and her wine project, Gia Coppola Wines, which is part of the Francis Ford Coppola Winery. “I wanted to make a wine for my generation,” says Gia. 

Kerry and Gia discuss her collaboration with Coppola winemaker Ali Davignon, the creative process behind her wines, and the connection between her label and the iconic punk band, the Ramones.
