Curtis Keeps it Natural
August 11, 2004
Jamie Lee Curtis claims her movie career may be over -- because she won't get plastic surgery. In a revealing interview in the new issue of More magazine, the actress says "I don't want to watch my face get older on film."
That's just one of the revelations that the 45-year-old Golden Globe winner makes as she lashes out against what she calls "Hollywood's plastic surgery epidemic," warning that, "It's going to backfire at some point; somebody famous and young is going to have to die on the table."
Jamie Lee admits to having gone under the knife herself, and in 2000, she told us about raising her own daughter in a place and time where beauty means everything. "The tummy tucks and the face tucks and things, and looking good and Victoria's Secret and bras and MTV and gyrating," she complained. "I would throw the TV and the internet out the window if I had it in my house right now."
Curtis shocked her fans and friends in the industry in 2002 when she appeared on a More magazine cover without make-up. More Entertainment Director Hillary Black told us it was Curtis' way of striking back: "She's become something of a heroine to mid-life women in this country, because she feels like plastic surgery has become too rampant."
Curtis has already shot her next film, "Christmas
with the Kranks," co-starring Tim Allen. The movie
is scheduled to come out November 24, just in time for
the holidays. We'll just have to wait and see whether
it's the final gift to fans of Jamie Lee's career.
