Jamie Lee Curtis on why her mother Janet Leigh would've 'been incredibly upset' about her Oscar-winning role
Jamie Lee Curtis calls herself the 'OG nepo baby ' having had a leg up in showbusiness thanks to her famous parents Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis. But the outspoken 66-year-old doesn't think the late Psycho scream queen would've approved of her grittier, unflattering characters like IRS revenue agent Deirdre Beaubeirdre in Everything Everywhere All at Once. 'Today I have a freedom to be myself that my mother's generation would never have allowed,' Jamie revealed in her People cover story Sunday. 'My mother would've been incredibly upset at Everything Everywhere All at Once and how I looked. My mother would have loathed [how I looked].' Curtis continued: '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.' The Bear actress famously won an Oscar for her performance in Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert's critically-acclaimed multiverse dramedy, which went on to amass $143.4M from a $25M budget in 2022. Jamie also looked rough as Shelly's (Pamela Anderson) hard-living gal pal Annette, a cocktail waitress living in her car, in Gia Coppola's critically-acclaimed 2024 drama The Last Showgirl, which earned $7.1M from a $2M budget. 'Or in Last Showgirl, for [Janet] to see me in that dressing room at 66 years old. That really would've upset her,' Curtis noted. '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.' The Borderlands actress added: 'I know that my mother was so proud of me and and what I've achieved, that she respected my husband's work and was thrilled to be a grandma.' Leigh passed away, at age 77, in 2004 after a protracted battle with vasculitis while her famous father died, at age 85, in 2010 of cardiac arrest. On Saturday, Jamie - who regrets undergoing a lower blepharoplasty at age 25 - called out the 'genocide of a generation of women by the cosmeceutical industrial complex, who've disfigured themselves.' 'I believe that we have wiped out a generation or two of natural human [appearance],' Curtis told The Guardian. '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. And it is aided and abetted by AI, 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 continued: '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' (pictured last Tuesday) The Bear actress also looked rough as Shelly's (R, Pamela Anderson) hard-living gal pal Annette, a cocktail waitress living in her car, in Gia Coppola's critically-acclaimed 2024 drama The Last Showgirl The Borderlands actress told The Guardian: 'I believe that we have wiped out a generation or two of natural human [appearance]. 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. And it is aided and abetted by AI, because now the filter face is what people want' However, the Halloween alum 'minds her business' when it comes to advising her Freakier Friday onscreen daughter Lindsay Lohan, whose facial features are noticeably more taut than they were seven years ago. Jamie noted: 'I'm bossy, very bossy, but I try to mind my own business. She doesn't need my advice. She's a fully functioning, smart woman, creative person. Privately, she's asked me questions, but nothing that's more than an older friend you might ask.' Curtis and the 39-year-old former child star executive produced and reprised their roles in Nisha Ganatra's mother-daughter swap sequel Freakier Friday, which hits US/UK theaters August 8. It's hard to believe it's been 22 years since the Emmy/Grammy nominee and Lindsay portrayed Tess and Anna Coleman in Mark Waters' critically-acclaimed remake of Freaky Friday, which amassed $160.8M at the global box office. Last Tuesday, Jamie confirmed she'll play mystery novelist Jessica Fletcher in Universal's upcoming reboot of the CBS hit series Murder, She Wrote - which aired for 12 seasons spanning 1984-96. 'Oh, it's… happening,' Curtis told ET. 'We're a minute away, but yeah, [I'm] very excited. Very excited. But I'm tamping down my enthusiasm until we start shooting. I have a couple of other things to hustle, but then I'll get to enjoy that work.' The LA native's other upcoming projects include James L. Brooks' political dramedy Ella McCray for 20th Century Studios, Liz Sarnoff's eight-episode series Scarpetta for Amazon Prime Video, and Russell Goldman's scam psychological horror Sender.

Nepo-baby with superstar singer mum insists it ‘didn't help her' land movie role – can you guess who she is?
THE daughter of an international superstar insists being a nepo baby "doesn't help" after bagging her first film role. The 22-year-old is studying at Central Saint Martins in London and said that having famous parents is often "disguised as a benefit". 6 Her mum earned 15 Grammy nominations throughout her 40-year career, and forged a path in the art and fashion industries. In the 1980s she shot to fame as the lead singer of The Sugarcubes. A decade later, she'd branched off and quickly established herself as a solo artist with instantly recognisable vocals. Have you guessed who this nepo baby is and who her famous parents are? It's Isadora Bjarkardottir Barney - the daughter of Iceland's most eccentric export, Bjork, of course! Isadora's dad, Matthew Barney, is an American contemporary artist and film director. She was born in London and grew up between New York and Reykjavik after her parents split in 2013. Speaking to the Sydney Morning Herald, she said: "People have preconceived ideas about me, based on what they think they know about my family. "I hope I don't sound bitter, because it's such a gift. I just mean that it's a challenge discerning what's what. But you get pretty good at it, eventually." She also said that her parents are the first people she goes to when she has an idea or needs creative advice. "But then there is the other kind of benefit that disguises itself as a benefit but doesn't really serve you, which is nepotism." Isadora admitted that financially, it's helpful to have wealthy parents, but said that in terms of "uncovering how she sees the world or how she relates to it", she said it "doesn't help". Bjork has earned a reputation as being an art project in motion - and it seems Isadora is following in her footsteps. The youngster modelled for MiuMiu when she was just 20 years old. She was also on the cover of The Gentlewoman magazine in 2022. Isadora landed the lead role in The Mountain, where she plays Anna, a teenage musician trying to navigate her life after the sudden death of her mother. The role came to her by chance after a former crew member she'd worked on a TV series with previously and remembered she'd acted before. In 2022, she played a small role in The Northman, which starred her mum. She played a singing Viking slave alongside Alexander Skarsgard, Nicole Kidman, and Anya Taylor-Joy. 6 6 6 6

Mabel, 29, hits back at nepo baby claims as she admits 'I work hard every day' in candid interview about growing up with her famous parents
She's the daughter of eighties pop star Neneh Cherry and legendary producer Cameron McVey. Mabel, in recent years, has insisted she's made a successful career in music without the help of her famous parents. And in a new interview with Michael Dapaah on Comfortably Speaking, the singer has doubled down on nepo baby claims as she declared 'I work hard every day'. Mabel, 29, said: 'It was like a play on everything really, the expectations I've always had on myself. 'I'm still so hard on myself and I work really hard at it every day, I try to be kinder to myself, but it was definitely initially about the things that I felt about myself and yeah the expectations I had set for myself from a super young age. 'And then also about like coming from a family of musicians, maybe the expectations that people had of me, good for bad, do you know what I mean. 'Like people either set the bar here or they set the bar here, because they're like "oh well you're a nepo baby so like you're s*** basically", do you know what I mean?' The singer, full name Mabel Alabama-Pearl McVey has long been surrounded by musical royalty. Her mother Neneh, 61, rose to fame with her 1989 album Raw Like Sushi and hits Buffalo Stance and Manchild. Mabel's father Cameron, 68, is a legendary producer behind acts like Massive Attack and All Saints. Mabel also opened up about nearly ending her music career entirely as she struggled navigating her twenties. She said: 'It wasn't possible (to keep up with the pace), I mean it nearly like ended the relationship with what I loved the most, music, because it was impossible. 'It is impossible to deliver, in my opinion, an authentic creative product, because that's what it is when you're in the business. 'And also be okay and have enough life to live to be able to create the authentic product if you're having to do it every eight weeks. 'And you're also in your early 20s and you're trying to figure things out because who knows who they are or what they're doing.' Mabel first made waves in 2017 with her breakout hit Finders Keepers, and went on to release her platinum-selling debut album High Expectations in 2019. In 2020, she won the Brit Award for British Female Solo Artist. In 2018, Neneh spoke about nurturing her daughter Mabel in the music industry, revealing she is in awe of her. The songstress spoke of the then 21-year-old's success and reflected on motherhood, in an interview with the Evening Standard Magazine admitting she wasn't always 'emotionally accessible'. She said: 'Mabel is unbelievable and so focused and it's hard out there. 'She gets up sometimes and she's doing two or three sessions a day. I'm in awe of her and so I try to support her with basic mum things, like making her a take-out lunch.' Mabel previously insisted she doesn't want her parents' help when it comes to her own music career. 'When I was in my teens, and was like, 'I really want to do music',' she told the publication. I felt quite embarrassed by being my mum and dad's daughter. I thought, 'People will never take me seriously".'

The film that nepotism made: Leslie Mann's daughter Maude Apatow gathers fellow celeb offspring for new movie - with the cast a who's who of Hollywood's hottest scions
For many celebrity offspring in Hollywood, the nepo baby label is one they try to desperately hard to shirk. Yet Maude Apatow - the daughter of actress Leslie Mann and filmmaker Judd Apatow - has embraced nepotism with her upcoming project, casting several stars who have had a leg up in the industry owing to their famous backgrounds. Yet Maude - who began acting at the age of seven with a role in her father's comedy film The 40-Year-Old Virgin - is set to make her directorial debut with Poetic License. Her mother Leslie has the starring role in the movie, playing former therapist and soon-to-be empty nester Liz, who becomes the unexpected point of tension between two inseparable best friends as they fight for her affections. The remaining cast list for the upcoming film reads as a who's who of Hollywood offspring - with no less than half the cast boasting celebrity relatives. So, with nepotism seemingly the new normal, MailOnline details who made the cut in the Poetic License cast. Maude Apatow Daughter of Leslie Mann and Judd Apatow Maude, 27, unwittingly found herself at the centre of the nepo baby discourse in 2022 when a X/Twitter user expressed her shock at learning the Euphoria star had two famous parents. The viral tweet prompted a raft of fans to share other examples of nepo babies in the industry, with New York magazine going as far as to call 2022 'The Year of the Nepo Baby'. Maude was among a slew of celebrities who have famous parents to feature on the magazine's front cover, which quipped: 'She Has Her Mother's Eyes. And Agent.' The actress has previously confessed she was 'sad' to see the backlash, telling Net-a-Porter: 'At first it was sad. I try not to let it get to me because I obviously understand that I'm in such a lucky position. 'A lot of people [in a similar position] have proven themselves over the years, so I've got to keep going and make good work.' Notably, Maude landed her first film roles as a direct result of her father - featuring in his movies Knocked Up (2007), Funny People (2009), and This Is 40 (2012) during her childhood. The films also starred her mother Leslie and sister Iris. Maude went on to star in Euphoria, while Iris appeared on the Netflix series Love. Last year, Maude teamed up with director Olivia Rosenbloom to launch Jewel Productions, a film and television production company. The pair's first film in the works is the aforementioned Poetic License, but they already have plans to create another two movies. Discussing the venture, the pair shared: 'We have both always been drawn to flawed and complicated characters and using comedy as a tool to tell their stories. 'We are so excited to launch Jewelbox and hope it can be a home for artists with distinct voices and perspectives to develop compelling original ideas.' Cooper Hoffman Son of Philip Seymour Hoffman Cooper previously confessed his late father Philip Seymour Hoffman's legacy that had made him wary of entering the industry (pictured together in 2013) Cooper, 22, is relatively new to the industry, making his acting debut in 2021 coming-of-age film Licorice Pizza. His leading role was well received by critics and he was nominated for a Golden Globe Award. The movie was directed by Paul Thomas Anderson - a longtime collaborator of Cooper's late father, Philip Seymour Hoffman. Paul worked with Philip on five films: Hard Eight, Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Punch-Drunk Love and The Master. While Cooper no doubt felt at ease working alongside someone who knew his father well, he previously confessed it was his father's legacy that had made him wary of entering the industry. He explained: 'I don't think I ever really considered it a possibility. I was always kind of scared to enter that arena because my dad did it so well.' The budding star opened up about being on set of Licorice Pizza, explaining, 'In a weird way, it felt almost like I was stepping into my dad's shoes. 'It really was this feeling of: Maybe this is what he felt like. It was this weird out-of-body experience. I felt incredibly close to my dad through the whole shooting process.' Cooper has been mixing in showbusiness circles and is said to be dating Nico Parker - who will star alongside him in Poetic License. Nico Parker Nico - who is dating Cooper - is also relatively new to the industry, making her acting debut in 2019's live action reboot of Disney's Dumbo. She has gone on to land roles in HBO series The Last of Us and the lead part in fantasy film How to Train Your Dragon. And while many celebrity offspring attempt to distance themselves from their famous parents, Nico has confessed she is a 'proud' nepo baby. While she previously admitted she was 'embarrassed' by her famous mum at school, she admitted she's 'reaped' the rewards of being the daughter of the BAFTA award winning actress and filmmaker husband. In an interview with The Times, Nico said how neopotism 'needs to be acknowledged' and how she understood it can be 'annoying'. She explained: 'I never want to discredit myself and what I've done, but I also want to give full credit to my parents. 'They've both had brilliant careers and I am really fortunate because I get to reap the benefits. Especially very early in my career, I think you walk into rooms in a different way because people know who your parents are. 'You do need to acknowledge it — if you don't, where does that leave you? I totally get why it's annoying.' Nico went on to reveal her parents taught her how she is not more important than anyone on set, though she remained tight-lipped on their advice to her. The actress said: 'In terms of acting advice, I keep that stuff close to the chest — that feels very much like mine and theirs.' Jake Bongiovi Son of Jon Bon Jovi While he may not have directly followed in his father's footsteps, Jake's rocker dad has helped him open doors in his career. The son of the Grammy winning artist Jon Bon Jovi, explained he learnt about how to handle fame as a result of his father. Jake, 23, made his acting debut just last year in the romantic comedy, Sweethearts. The star - who is married to Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown - previously said he has no plans to follow in his father's rock 'n' roll footsteps. When asked if he fancied a career in music in an interview with Man About Town magazine.: 'I think I'll leave that to my dad! There's really no following the act there.' He shared: 'There was always music playing in the house growing up, all different types of genres from all different types of worlds. But what spoke to me were the people on the screen, not the voices through the speakers.' However, Jake said his father's experience in the industry has been hugely beneficial to him. He said: 'Having my father's influence has been a wonderful learning curve. It's just great to hear it directly from a first-person source, their experience coming up through artistic expression.' Jake reflected: 'As long as you can have your identity – who you are and what you originally set out to do – and keep that strong, that's the goal.' Maisy Stella Daughter of MaryLynne and Brad Stella Maisy, 21, had her breakthrough role in musical series Nashville, where she starred alongside her sister Lennon. Capitalising on their fame from the show the siblings toured together as country music duo Lennon & Maisy, performing mostly covers of songs. It was hardly surprising the pair were keen to explore their musical roots as the daughters of Canadian country music duo MaryLynne and Brad. Their parents played in various bands before forming The Stellas - finishing in fourth place on CMT series Can You Duet in 2009. While Maisie is carving out a successful career in acting - recently receiving a Critics Choice Award nomination for her work in My Old Ass - she didn't grow up watching TV. She revealed that her parents had banned TV from their home because they didn't want their children tuning in and tuning out, so instead they would create their own entertainment. Maisy mused: 'My sister made a cardboard-box TV that I would get in, and she had a fake cardboard remote. I'd do a baking show, and then she'd be like, "Soap opera!" and I'd be like, "You killed my husband!" 'We would do that for hours. That was our entertainment.' She revealed that their parents only caved and bought a television for the house once the girls had landed their roles on Nashville.
