Overview

  • Curtis reveals she has been 'self-retiring' for 30 years to leave the industry on her own terms before opportunities dry up
  • Her decision stems from watching her parents, Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis, lose roles as Hollywood rejected them with age
  • She condemns the cosmeceutical industry for a “genocide of a generation of women” and warns that AI filters fuel unrealistic beauty ideals
  • Curtis emphasizes she respects others’ choices on cosmetic procedures and will not judge women who opt for surgery or enhancements
  • Despite her exit plan, she remains active in upcoming films The Lost Bus, Ella McCay, Freakier Friday and will star in a Murder, She Wrote reboot and the Prime Video series Scarpetta
