Description

If anyone in Hollywood has experienced every aspect of the business, it’s Jamie Lee Curtis. “I’ve been doing this for a long time with very little expectations. I’ve just had a really good time doing what I get to do, when [and] with who I get to do it with. You just never know when someone’s going to really love something,” Curtis told Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott. Fresh off her Oscar win for ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once,’ Curtis is keeping busy, first with Disney’s Haunted Mansion, bringing to life the mysterious Madame Leota. “I remember thinking, ‘Why is that woman in the crystal ball? What’s going on with her?’” She’s also receiving even more award buzz for her portrayal of the high-strung matriarch on Hulu’s ‘The Bear.’ “How many of us know people who are so desperate for help but then claim they don’t want it? It’s a beautiful portrait, the whole show.” If that wasn’t enough, she’s also out with a new graphic novel, ‘Mother Nature.’ Considering how busy she is, Curtis is unsure if she’ll have time to direct the film version. “I’m hoping to. The problem is, I’m getting work.” We’re certainly glad she has that problem. Pick up ‘Mother Nature’ wherever books are sold: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/713662/mother-nature-by-written-by-jamie-lee-curtis/ Visit Newsweek.com to learn more about the podcasts we offer and to catch up on the latest news.
