Jamie Lee Curtis reveals she's already started 'retiring' from Hollywood
Jamie Lee Curtis knows she'll leave Hollywood, having already started 'self-retiring'. The Hollywood star, 66, is the daughter of two screen icons in Psycho star Janet Leigh and Some Like it Hot's Tony Curtis. She shared her frank assessment over how the movie industry has impacted her after seeing both her parents struggle with their careers as their youthful looks began to fade. '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. I watched them reach incredible success and then have it slowly erode to where it was gone,' she told The Guardian. 'And that's very painful.' The consequences of that have had a lasting effect on the True Lies and A Fish Called Wanda star who said that, as a result: '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.I want to leave the party before I'm no longer invited.' Curtis, who shot to fame aged 19 thanks to her role in slasher flick Halloween (1978), is actually currently riding high on the wave of career revival, having won her first Oscar in 2023 for Everything Everywhere All at Once. She also received a Bafta nomination for supporting actress earlier this year thanks to her turn with Pamela Anderson as cocktail waitress Annette in The Last Showgirl, while she recently nabbed an Emmy for her guest spot on TV show The Bear, playing alcoholic Donna Berzatto. The actress is under no illusion that her stock has soared as she describes the experience of playing Donna as 'an unleashing of 50 years of being a performer who was never considered to have any range'. 'It took no toll. The toll has been 40 years of holding back something I know is here,' she added. Curtis will be back in cinemas in August as Tess Coleman, mother to Lindsay Lohan's Anna, who endured a body swap with her daughter in the classic Y2K movie from 2003. More Trending In the sequel, Anna has her own teenage daughter, Harper (Julia Butters), and the swap goes four ways as it also involves Harper's enemy Lily (Sophia Hammons) – who is the one this time inhabiting the now grandma Tess's body.

The star jokingly calls herself 'a weapon of mass promotion' but it was also her that convinced Disney top brass to ensure Freakier Friday wasn't released only on streaming but got it's proper run in cinemas too. Her argument? As Curtis tells it, 'if you don't think the audience that saw Barbie is going to be the audience that goes and sees Freakier Friday, you're wrong'. Got a story?

Jamie Lee Curtis is ‘prepping' to leave Hollywood as she blasts plastic surgery as ‘genocide'
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*** off.''

Stop what you're doing, and watch these 3 great movies leaving Netflix by August 1
Movies leave Netflix at the end of every month. However, something doesn't sit right with me about Happy Gilmore leaving the service days after the premiere of Happy Gilmore 2. That isn't right! Regardless, it's leaving Netflix by August 1, and there's nothing you can do about it. Happy Gilmore is one of many movies departing soon. The three movies below will depart Netflix with the Adam Sandler comedy. One of our picks might be the most influential horror ever. Find out more below. Recommended Videos We also have guides to the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Amazon Prime Video, the best movies on HBO Max, and the best movies on Disney+. Psycho (1960) Picking Alfred Hitchcock's best movie is an impossible task. Choosing his most popular picture is more doable. Thanks to a memorable shower scene and its impact on slashers, Hitchcock's most notable movie — to mainstream audiences — is Psycho, his adaptation of the Robert Bloch novel. After Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) steals $40,000 from her employer, she plans to run away with her boyfriend, Sam Loomis (John Gavin). While traveling from Phoenix, Arizona, to Fairvale, California, Marion stops at the secluded Bates Motel for protection from a heavy rainstorm. Inside, she meets the proprietor, Norman Bates (Anthony Bates), a peculiar man with a strained relationship with his mother. Psycho's influence on the horror genre is priceless. Every horror's roots post-1960 can be traced back to Psycho. Stream Psycho on Netflix. Field of Dreams (1989) 'If you build it, he will come.' When writing the history of iconic one-liners, those famous words uttered in Field of Dreams must be on the list. While tending to his Iowa cornfield, farmer Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner) hears the 'build it' line and envisions a baseball field. Believing in divine intervention, Ray builds his baseball field and hopes for the best. One night, the ghost of 'Shoeless' Joe Jackson (Ray Liotta) appears on the field and asks Ray if he can play. Soon after, many of Jackson's teammates from the Black Sox arrive and take part in nightly games. For Ray, the baseball field was only the beginning of this journey, as he embarks on a mission of blind faith. For my money, it's the greatest baseball movie ever made. Stream Field of Dreams on Netflix. Matilda (1996) Sometimes, you need an enjoyable children's movie from your childhood as a palate cleanser. For me, that's Matilda, the story of a gifted child based on the Roald Dahl novel. Since birth, Matilda Wormwood (Mara Wilson) has been neglected by her father, Harry (Danny DeVito), and mother, Zinnia (Rhea Perlman). Seeking an escape, Matilda finds solace in education, particularly in reading. When it's time to go to school, Matilda's father enrolls her in Crunchem Hall Elementary School, run by the cruel Miss Agatha Trunchbull (Pam Ferris). The school's only saving grace is Matilda's teacher, the kindhearted Miss Honey (Embeth Davidtz). One day, Matilda inherits telekinesis powers, and for the first time in her life, she starts to fight back. Matilda is a feel-good movie that brings out your inner child in the best way. Stream Matilda on Netflix.
