Jamie Lee Curtis has been around celebrities since her father’s sperm entered her mother’s egg. You see, her parents, Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, are Hollywood royalty from the Golden Age of movies.
So you would think she has never asked a celebrity for an autograph, unless they were someone like The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Steve McQueen, David Cassidy, or Elizabeth Taylor. And you would be wrong.
Yesterday, when she was on The Late Show, Stephen Colbert asked her questions from The Colbert Questionert.
One of the things he wanted to know is if she ever asked anyone for the John Hancock. At first, she could not think of anyone. But then she started giggling uncontrollably.
After 35 seconds, she finally blurted out, “Urkle.” While still laughing, she revealed she got it for her child and keeps that signature in her daughter’s scrapbook.
How was the late night host going to get her to stop laughing? The next question was, “What do you think happens when we die? Talk about a buzzkill.
He had a few more questions, but it was the last one that touched our hearts. What was it? He wanted her to describe the rest of her life in five words. They are: “Free. Married. Mommy. Grandmoomy. Loved!”
We can help her with the last one. Although she should know by now, she is very much loved by all of us, and that is not going to change anytime soon.
Lindsay Lohan and Chad Michael Murray shared a kiss in Freaky Friday. Did you know that was her first onscreen kiss?
Since it was a stressful situation for the then-teenager, Jamie Lee Curtis, Murray, and the producers had a meeting to make it less stressful for her. So the Hollywood legacy, with three decades of experience at the time, told them to practice their kiss there and get it over with so that it would not be as nerve-racking when the director yelled, “Action.”
However, since she was about 16, she was still nervous to kiss the good-looking 21-year-old.
So, what were they going to do to make her more comfortable? Curtis turned to Murray and asked if he was good. Of course, he said yes. And then she put her lips on where he just said yes.
That broke the ice, and Lohan’s first kiss was not as stressful. And Murray’s dad is still jealous of his son to this day.
You can say that the three had a Freaky Friday moment because Curtis substituted for Lohan, or had Lohan already switched bodies with Curtis so that she could kiss her co-star in both bodies?
Murray learned a very important lesson in that moment. He told the Good Morning America anchors, “It set up me for a lot more comfortability working with her, working with everybody because you realized, ‘We’re just making a movie. Let’s go have some fun. And let’s not be so serious. Let’s have a riot.'”
Curtis hasn’t changed. Murray said that when all the actors went into the table read for Freakier Friday, the Oscar winner came up with a way to make it less confusing because there are four of them switching places in the sequel. What was it? She gave Lohan, Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons, and herself hats, so that everyone knew who was who at that moment in the movie. It worked, and it made things a lot less confusing.
Janet Leigh did a great job preparing her daughter for Hollywood and acting, so that she could do the same for the next generations of actors. We need more actors like the late legend and her talented daughter.
One last note, I wouldn’t mind having the One Tree Hill star as my first onscreen kiss! Would you?
Remember how happy you were watching Freaky Friday as a kid? Well, after watching the trailer for Freakier Friday, I can tell it is going to make us feel just like we did when we saw the first movie 22 years ago. And don’t we need more movies like that?
Freakier Friday, a sequel to the beloved 2003 film with a multigenerational twist starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan, will be released in theaters on August 8th. In the film, Curtis and Lohan reprise their roles as Tess and Anna Coleman. The story picks up years after Tess (Curtis) and Anna (Lohan) endured an identity crisis. Anna now has a daughter of her own and a soon-to-be stepdaughter. As they navigate the myriad challenges that come when two families merge, Tess and Anna discover that lightning might indeed strike twice.
Are you going to see it in theaters? I know I will! Unless I switch bodies with my cat!
In 2003, we fell in love with Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan as a mother and daughter who switch bodies in Freaky Friday.
Ever since then, we have wanted a sequel! On August 8th, we are finally getting it with a quadruple body switch.

This is going to be the must-see movie of the Summer! At least in my house, because it looks like it is going to be so much fun!
Plus, who doesn’t love the chemistry between Curtis and Lohan? That is what made the OG a classic as soon as it was released.
