Jamie Lee Curtis Reconsiders Her Mother's Reaction to Her Oscar-Winning Role

Summary
- Jamie Lee Curtis believes her late mother, Janet Leigh, would have "loathed" her role in "Everything Everywhere All at Once"
- Lindsay Lohan challenged Curtis' assumption, asking how she could know what her mother would have thought
- Curtis now says her mother may have "loved" the film and appreciated the "art of it"
In a recent interview, actress Jamie Lee Curtis shared how a conversation with Lindsay Lohan helped her reconsider her belief that her late mother, Janet Leigh, would have disliked Curtis' role in the 2023 film "Everything Everywhere All at Once."
Curtis had previously expressed her conviction that Leigh, who passed away in 2004 at the age of 77, "would have loathed" her performance in the Oscar-winning movie. However, Lohan challenged this assumption, asking Curtis how she could know what her mother would have thought.
This interaction made Curtis rethink her stance. "Maybe she would've loved it. Maybe she would've appreciated the art of it," Curtis now says of her mother's potential reaction. The actress acknowledges that her mother's generation "really struggled with" the unconventional style of "Everything Everywhere," but Lohan's words prompted her to be more open-minded.
Curtis believes her mother, who was known for her legendary beauty, may have had issues with the way she looked in the film. However, the actress now says she is not certain, as Leigh is no longer alive to share her true opinion. Curtis adds that her mother "always believed" she had a talent for comedy, which is reflected in her roles in films like "Freakier Friday" and "True Lies" - movies Leigh likely would have enjoyed.
