Her Friday is getting freaky.
Jamie Lee Curtis said she’s preparing to leave the spotlight – in part thanks to her experience of watching her famous parents’ careers as they aged, and thanks to watching plastic surgery take off.
“I witnessed my parents lose the very thing that gave them their fame and their life and their livelihood, when the industry rejected them at a certain age,” Curtis, 66, told The Guardian, in an interview published Saturday.
“I watched them reach incredible success and then have it slowly erode to where it was gone,” she added. “And that’s very painful.”
The “Halloween” star’s famous parents were Janet Leigh – who was in Alfred Hitchcock’s “Psycho,” and Tony Curtis (“Some Like It Hot”).
Leigh died in 2004 at age 77, while her dad died in 2010 at age 85. They were married from 1951 until their 1962 divorce.
Curtis also slammed plastic surgery as being “the genocide of a generation of women by the cosmeceutical industrial complex, who’ve disfigured themselves.”
“The Last Showgirl” actress has been married to British actor Christopher Guest since 1984, and shares daughters Ruby, 29, and Annie, 38, with him.
“I believe that we have wiped out a generation or two of natural human [appearance],” she explained. “The concept that you can alter the way you look through chemicals, surgical procedures, fillers – there’s a disfigurement of generations of predominantly women who are altering their appearances.”
She blasted AI as aiding and abetting this, “because now the filter face is what people want. I’m not filtered right now. The minute I lay a filter on and you see the before and after, it’s hard not to go: ‘Oh, well that looks better.’ But what’s better? Better is fake.”
Curtis did not name names of celebs who have admitted to getting plastic surgery, such as the Kardashians.
“There are too many examples – I will not name them – but very recently we have had a big onslaught through media, many of those people,” she stated.
Despite her plans to step back from the spotlight, Curtis still has a recent slew of hot projects, as well as upcoming movies and TV shows.
She finally won an Oscar in 2024 (for “best supporting actress” in “Everything Everywhere All At Once”), and has a recurring side role as Carmy’s (Jeremy Allen White) mother in the Emmy-winning drama “The Bear,” which has been renewed for a Season 5.
She’s also in the “Freaky Friday” sequel “Freakier Friday,” (hitting theaters Aug. 8) and she recently confirmed that she will take over the late Angela Lansbury’s iconic role of Jessica Fletcher in a “Murder, She Wrote” reboot.
Coming up, she’ll film “Ella McCay” alongside Woody Harrelson and her “The Bear” co-star Ayo Edebiri (premiering in December) and will star. in the Prime Video series “Scarpetta” with Nicole Kidman (which doesn’t have an announced premiere date yet).
“I have been self-retiring for 30 years. I have been prepping to get out, so that I don’t have to suffer the same as my family did,” she told The Guardian. “I want to leave the party before I’m no longer invited.”
“I have become quite brusque,” the “True Lies” actress added. “And I have no problem saying: ‘Back the f–k off.’”
