Thursday’s installment of The View offers a particularly diverse pairing. Pamela Anderson, the actress and model whose career has spanned from Baywatch to Broadway, will be discussing her new film, The Last Showgirl. Given Anderson’s often outspoken nature, one can anticipate a lively discussion.
Joining her is ABC News’ chief international correspondent, James Longman. Longman will be promoting his book, The Inherited Mind: A Story of Family, Hope, and the Genetics of Mental Illness, shifting the conversation towards a more serious, and potentially important, topic.
This juxtaposition of celebrity and weighty subject matter is a frequent hallmark of The View. How the hosts—Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin, and Ana Navarro—navigate this tonal shift will be interesting to observe. Will they find common ground between Anderson’s glamorous world and Longman’s exploration of mental health?
The View airs weekdays at 11:00 AM on ABC.
