Jamie Lee Curtis has openly talked about getting older. She has also discussed her thoughts on ageing with her daughters, Annie and Ruby. She mentioned, “I tried plastic surgery, and I used Botox on my forehead. Does Botox help with wrinkles? Yes. But then you end up looking like a plastic toy.” She tries to be a good example for her daughters.
Earlier in the same year, Curtis received her first-ever Oscar for her role in “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” Before that, she had never been nominated for an Academy Award. She bagged the role of IRS inspector Deirdre in the film, which also won the award for best picture.
