  1. > “I do know,” replies Curtis. I do know because her generation was so much about your body and what you look like. And the beauty. The beauty is just who she was. That’s what her life was. My mother was literally jaw dropping. But I think that would’ve been very hard for her to see me with my tummy sticking out. Or in [the film] Last Showgirl, for her to see me in that dressing room at 66 years old. That really would’ve upset her. I know her very well. I have accepted myself in a much bigger way than I think she felt she was allowed to, through her generation.”

  2. The best thing about Jamie Lee Curtis is that it’s highly likely she will be more remembered than either her father or mother. She’s blazed her own Hollywood trail and is an absolute bad ass.

  3. Parents be like “you didn’t win an Oscar the right way.”

  5. Every time I see her name it’s some self serving drivel and im immediately eye rolling

  6. JLC is 2 generations above me & I still find her relatable 🫡

  7. I know she’s on a press tour, but her takes are so full of false humility, transparent attempts to garner sympathy, hypocrisy, and narcissism.

  8. You know what, some of these comments have convinced me that the Jamie Lee hate is misogyny under the veil of the “undeserved Oscar”.

    Adrien Brody just gave one of the most pretentious speeches in Hollywood history and everyone has forgotten, meanwhile two years later everything she says is continually scrutinized as fake or narcissistic.

    If she were to share anything that might give people the idea that she thinks she deserved her Oscar, there would be double the headlines. But most of you would rather her do what you expect of all women, to do their jobs and stay quiet.

    It’s one thing to disagree with her Oscar win, but completely another to comment on every other thread about her with vitriol.

  9. Damn I thought she was gonna be like “Because Stephanie Hsu should’ve won it over me”
