Jamie Lee Curtis: 'Janet Leigh Would've Been Upset' Over Oscar Role

JAMIE LEE CURTIS UNLEASHES HER TRUE SELF: A FIERCE AND BEAUTIFUL NEPO BABY LIKE NO OTHER

In a candid and unapologetic interview with People, Jamie Lee Curtis is spilling all about her life, career, and the generation that raised her. The outspoken actress, who's been making waves in Hollywood for over four decades, is not afraid to speak her mind and challenge the status quo.

At 66, Curtis is embracing her true self and refusing to conform to the beauty standards of her mother's generation. She's trading in her glamorous persona for a more authentic look, with a "tummy sticking out" and all. And she's loving every minute of it!

"I have a freedom to be myself that my mother's generation would never have allowed," Curtis reveals. "My mother would've been incredibly upset at Everything Everywhere All at Once and how I looked. My mother would have loathed [it]."

Janet Leigh, the legendary actress who passed away in 2004, was known for her stunning beauty and glamour. But Jamie's latest roles, including her Oscar-winning performance in Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert's critically-acclaimed multiverse dramedy Everything Everywhere All at Once, have been a far cry from her mother's classic Hollywood looks.

"My mother was so much about your body and what you look like," Curtis explains. "And the beauty. The beauty is just who she was. That's what her life was. But I think that would've been very hard for her to see me with my tummy sticking out."

Curtis is also speaking out against the beauty industry, calling it a "genocide of a generation of women" who are disfiguring themselves through surgical procedures and cosmetic enhancements.

"I believe that we have wiped out a generation or two of natural human [appearance]," Curtis tells 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 seems Jamie is leading by example, proudly showing off her natural beauty and refusing to conform to societal standards.

"I'm not filtered right now," Curtis says. "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."

But don't expect Jamie to be doling out advice to her younger co-stars, including Lindsay Lohan, whom she collaborated with in Freaky Friday. Curtis is being mum on the subject of Lindsay's noticeably smoother complexion.

"I'm bossy, very bossy," Curtis admits, "but I try to mind my own business. She doesn't need my advice. She's a fully functioning, smart woman, creative person."

As for their upcoming project together, Freakier Friday, which hits US/UK theaters on August 8, Curtis is excited but also eager to get back to work on her other projects.

"Oh, it's... happening," Curtis confirms to ET about her new role as mystery novelist Jessica Fletcher in the Universal reboot of Murder, She Wrote. "We're a minute away, but yeah, [I'm] very excited. Very excited."

With a slew of upcoming projects, including James L. Brooks' political dramedy Ella McCray for 20th Century Studios and Liz Sarnoff's eight-episode series Scarpetta for Amazon Prime Video, Curtis is ready to take on the world with her unique blend of humor, intelligence, and unapologetic authenticity.

And it seems we can't get enough of this fiery nepo baby who's refusing to conform to the norms of Hollywood. Bring it on, Jamie!
