Blondie frontwoman Debbie Harry has landed a new acting gig. Deadline reports that Harry is set to play Pamela Anderson’s mother in the new comedy Maitreya.
The film centers around Anderson's title character, who's described as “a rising star in the New Age Healing community.” After finding out her father is dying, she decides to bring her whole family with her to a conference in India to “put her New Age healing theories to the test.”
The film is being directed by Portlandia co-creator Jonathan Krisel.
This certainly isn’t the first time Harry has flexed her acting chops. She previously appeared in such films as 1983’s Videodrome, 1988’s Hairspray, 1997’s Cop Land and 2008’s Elegy.
