I'm a 38 year old cinephile... and I'm just learning NOW that her father was Tony Curtis. Jesus, I'm an idiot. I always knew her mother was Janet Leigh and thought, yelp thats the end of that ::facepalm::

Just said something similar to my wife. One of my favorite movies, btw.

Wouldn't you, too, if you were hiding from the Chicago mob trying to kill you for being the only civilian eyewitnesses to the St. Valentine's Day massacre?

Does it get you going? Watch Tootsie if you like that kinda stuff.

38 in two months, also a lifelong lover of movies, also knew her mom was Janet Leigh... also just learning Tony Curtis was her father. We are two very selectively oblivious people lmfao

Tootsie is really a good comedy-drama, with a great cast. I don't know what "kinda stuff" you're thinking of, it's not a porn movie.

WTH, I'm also 38, avid movie fan and I too didn't know this. So do we, like, start a club or something? How does this work?

She looks identical to her dad too. I’m one of those weirdos that has to Wikipedia all the actors/actresses in a movie while I’m watching, so I learned this a while ago. But pretty cool she doesn’t mention it. I like her. Halloween is one of my favorite films.

One of my favorite TV moments. She got some award and took him as her +1. She thanked him during the speech and did an imitation of him in a big accent "I love you Spartacus, like a brotha!" And they showed his face doing all the emotions. So sweet!

That sounds adorable, any idea where to find it?

She was boy at birth but it was changed to girl for some reason. I never learned why and she doesn’t discuss it. She’s still one of my favorites.
StartingToLoveIMSA t1_itpsz4a wrote
uh, what?
JCazzz t1_itptcbn wrote
Yes. Verified via birth records and the birth announcement from the papers. Hospital said they welcomed a son and newspaper posted article with then and their son. So many rumors why they changed it but it all worked out and she was able to marry a British Baron and adopt children and have successful career.

It's hilarious. I had watched it several times on TV and then got to see it on the big screen a couple of years back. The theater was packed -- literally no seats left.

She was very talented.

“Verified” okay, where?
Hopefulkitty t1_itqafdw wrote
Janet Leighs and Tony Curtis' daughter, married to Sir Christopher Guest, who she requested a date with through their managers because she thought he was funny. She's gotta have a million stories, and seems like a really nice lady.

I only know that she's a massive WOW fan I think and cos plays fairly often..
Honestly she's one of those celebs I'd be super happy to meet.

Yeah I’ll join the club !
wjbc t1_itrjv4z wrote
That might be due to the fact that Tony Curtis disappeared from her life after her parents divorced in 1962. Jamie Lee was raised by her mother and her stepfather, stockbroker Robert Brandt.
