“I was so excited! I mean, I couldn’t ever imagine this. So, I’m just taking it day by day. It’s really exciting,” said Anderson, who said her phone lit up as soon as Mindy Kaling read her name out during the announcement of the Golden Globe nominations earlier in the week.

“I didn’t even know so many people had my cell phone number, because I rarely carry it. Everybody I know, everybody called and texted me that day so I didn’t have to reach out to anybody. My parents were happy, very excited.”

“It’s a group effort and I want to pay respect to that, (to the) community around me that has helped made — MAKE? — this happen,” said Anderson, who was speaking from Los Angeles but will soon be heading home to Ladysmith for the holidays. “The script is so great. Gia is wonderful and the music element and the editors. There is so much that goes into making a performance …It’s starts with a beautiful story.”

“Gia had such a vision. You know, she can see through the nonsense and see a person who needs to express themselves as an artist. So I will be eternally grateful to her for the experience,” said Anderson.

Leading up to The Last Showgirl, Anderson had other projects that kept her busy between “making pickles and jam” at her Ladysmith home. There was a Netflix documentary about her, a memoir, a turn on Broadway as Roxie Hart in Chicago, and a lifestyle TV show about the renovation of her Ladysmith compound. She also caught a lot of attention and press for her choice to face the world — and the red carpet — makeup-free.

“I’m living just like any woman. And I try different hairstyles,” said Anderson, when asked about the internet chatter about her new fringe and fresh face.

“I was really kind of drawn to the no-makeup makeup kind of thing because I’m still trying to figure out who I am underneath it all. I feel like I’ve been playing characters my whole life, in my personal life, and now that I get to play them in films and movies, I can actually just be myself. It’s an experiment I’m playing with … I never thought anyone would even notice. But I love that other people are having makeup-free dinner parties and all sorts of stuff.”

But that doesn’t mean Anderson, who will be seen starring alongside Liam Neeson in the Naked Gun remake out next summer, has shut the makeup bag entirely on glam.

“I still love makeup, by the way. I love getting glammed up for photoshoots and for events, sometimes,” Anderson said. “Tomorrow, I could wear a full face of makeup. I just wanted to be able to have the freedom of walking around and walking outside without feeling like I needed three hours in a makeup chair. It was just starting to get a little bit crazy.”
