Brenda Song may have made a name for herself on the Disney Channel in the early 2000s. But the actress has since moved on from her role as London Tipton on The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. But as is common with child stars, the transition to adult roles proved quite challenging. The 36-year-old's re-entry into Hollywood came at a surprising time in her life, with the influence of an unexpected individual playing a pivotal role – Gia Coppola.
Although the mother of two had continued her flourishing career with various projects and small roles over the years, none stuck. In fact, with so much on her plate, Song let her career take somewhat of a backseat until Coppola's The Last Showgirl.
During the Toronto International Film Festival, Gia Coppola's The Last Showgirl debuted and received a lot of attention. Although Pamela Anderson may have taken the film's lead, the spotlight fell on Brenda Song. In an interview with Variety, the actress revealed that her comeback would not have been possible without the director.
