Jamie Lee Curtis Looks Gorgeous In Rare Makeup-Free Photograph

Jun 28, 2021

It is so common for Hollywood celebrities to do whatever they can to keep themselves looking as young as possible. Cosmetic procedures, expensive treatments — you name it, they have done it. Jamie Lee Curtis used to be a celebrity who would go to great lengths to make sure that she looks good. But she has since realized what is best for her.

Curtis has been a pinnacle icon in the film and television industry since the late 1970s when she rose to fame with her starring role in the horror franchise "Halloween." The successful actress has played a variety of characters in her many career avenues, with some of her most notable roles being a mother, such as her part in "Freaky Friday."

Curtis is a mother herself and has even proven to be a pretty cool mom since both she and her daughter used to rock their corresponding gray hairstyles together — albeit hers is natural and her daughter's was dyed. Being in the industry for so long has taught Curtis the importance of staying youthful and relevant, but she also learned this from her famous parents — actor Tony Curtis and actress Janet Leigh. 

Getting consistent work and staying famous can be harder for stars as they grow older since fewer roles tend to be available. At 62, the star is still glowing and glamorous and has no plans to slow down her vibrant career. In March 2021, Curtis uploaded a gorgeous photo of herself on Instagram, and has showed her fans that she is just as beautiful as she has always been. 

In the photo that Curtis uploaded onto Instagram, she wrote, "Although I am careful about selfie mode, I am posting because this is what happened AFTER the lovely facial at @omorovicza in Budapest. Every different emollient and exfoliant felt like it removed time. I think they also found some make up I lost in 2007. A lovely treat."

Naturally. her fans were quite taken by Curtis, and the comments came rolling in about Curtis's natural beauty. One person humorously wrote, "This isn’t meant to come off as criticism, but u should be more careful with what u post. I have asthma and was completely blown away by your beauty 😳" Another person chimed in saying, "You look naturally beautiful! Thank you for being a model to age wisely and not fake!👏 #nofillers #ageisagift"

Celebrities who age without giving into cosmetic procedures are becoming rarer nowadays. Some celebrities have even been starting their procedures young, such as Kylie Jenner and Kelly Osbourne. In a world that demands youth and perfection even after a certain age, it is heartening to see celebrities like Curtis own their age and age absolutely gracefully. 

Curtis told Good Housekeeping that she isn't vain about herself. "I don’t look in the mirror," the star said. "I am not going to look the same as I used to, and I don’t want to be confronted by that every day! When I get out of the shower, I have a choice: I can dry myself off looking in the mirror, or I can dry myself off with my back to it. I turn my back to the mirror, and I feel great! I don’t want women to hate themselves, because I think women are extraordinary." 

During a podcast interview with PEOPLE in June 2021, Curtis also opened up about how she learned to be mindful about aging while staying relevant in Hollywood thanks to her famous parents. "I'm the child of movie stars," she said. "I watched my parents get face lifts and neck lifts."

Although her parents did what they could to still look youthful, the harsh reality of Hollywood is that not all stars are able to shine for their entire careers. "I watched their work diminish, I watched their fame not diminish," Curtis explained. "And the contradiction of a lot of fame, but not a lot of work, is really hard to navigate for people."

Curtis talked about how it is "very hard to be famous but not be doing the thing that made you famous. And that for the rest of your life, you're famous for something you did a long time ago, and you chase that attention."

Having the opportunity to watch her parents' careers play out and see how their wave of success went up and down despite being such legends in the acting industry really helped Curtis prepare for when it came to be her own time to experience the reality of being an older actress. "I wanted to be mindful, as the daughter of stars," Curtis said. "And so, I was hedging my bets, 'cause I don't want to be the person pining away for work and not getting it. It's humiliating and it's a hard business. It's all about what you look like."

Curtis definitely hasn't let her age stand in the way of staying famous, as she is currently still working on plenty of films. Her movies "Borderlands" and "Everything Everywhere All At Once" are both in the post-production stages.
