Hollywood star Jamie Lee Curtis shared memories from her childhood, noting that although she was full of energy, she was not interested in show business and did not act in plays. A decisive factor in her acting career was a meeting with talent scouts from Universal Studios.
This is reported by UNN with reference to Variety.
Details
Oscar-winning actress Jamie Lee Curtis, known for her role in the 80s hit "A Fish Called Wanda," as well as for films such as "Halloween" and "Everything Everywhere All at Once," said in a recent interview that as a child she considered herself a person "without any tangible abilities." She was a mediocre student and, in general, became an actress by accident, Curtis noted.
As a child, I wasn't interested in show business. Of course, there are a few photos of me and my sister on set, but I don't remember any of it — absolutely nothing.
I was a little weird. I was... a 16-year-old girl, full of energy and a bright personality. But I had no intellect. You know, I wasn't an athlete, I didn't act in plays. And I became an actress by accident.
But there were those who helped Jamie Lee Curtis get on the path that eventually led to her status as one of the most famous actresses.
Curtis particularly highlights her mother, Janet Leigh. As an actress, especially in the film "Psycho," and through her public activities, she became an excellent role model.
Also important for her was meeting Monica James, who was responsible for finding new talent at Universal Studios. Friends sent her to audition for the vice president of the American film company.
Curtis brought a child from an acting class, they played a scene, and when they finished, Curtis turned to James and said (she does it as if she's chewing gum and is airheaded): "Hey, listen, that was fun. Thank you very much. I really enjoyed it. Listen, honestly, the problem is that I'm going back to college in two days, so I need to know if this is going to happen."
The next day, Curtis received a call and was offered a contract. This is how the future star's creative journey began.
