- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Jamie Lee Curtis is telling it like it is — and what she’s saying about how the beauty industry targets women when it comes to aging is spot on. Honestly, she is just fed up with having to live up to standards that are truly unrealistic.
“I’ve had the trial and error of the part,” the Halloween Kills star said on the Lorraine podcast. “I did plastic surgery. It didn’t work. I hated it—made me feel worse.” Curtis admitted that this revelation didn’t happen overnight though, it started decades before when she was constantly in the salon to perm and dye her hair. After a styling mishap “burned” the hair off her head, she had a huge revelation. “The first time I cut my hair short, I went, ‘Oh. Oh my God. Oh wow. I look like me,'” she said.
