Heavy Action + Activia: The Career Of Jamie Lee Curtis

True Lies celebrates its 20th anniversary this week and, all these years later, we can’t seem to forget Jamie Lee Curtis stripping. And being hilarious. Curtis has had one of the most diverse careers in Hollywood and we want to celebrate her extensive oeuvre…including those infamous Activia commercials.

Halloween

Jamie Lee Curtis was just your typical, average daughter of two legendary movie stars (Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis) when she made her film debut in a horror film called Halloween. The film became a massive success and Curtis was propelled into stardom.

The Fog

Curtis solidified her role as Hollywood’s leading “scream queen” when she followed Halloween with its sequel, Halloween 2, and a myriad of other slasher and horror flicks, including 1980’s The Fog.

The Fog is available for rental on Amazon and Google Play.

Trading Places

Curtis broke free of the horror film world when she appeared as a “hooker with a heart of gold” named Ophelia in the smash comedy hit, Trading Places. She also took her top off in it.

Trading Places is streaming on Netflix and Amazon.

A Fish Called Wanda

Throughout the 1980s, Curtis continued to act in comedy hits and she continued to show off her toned body. She received a Golden Globe nomination for her work in A Fish Called Wanda in 1988.

A Fish Called Wanda is streaming on Amazon.

My Girl

Curtis’s career took a somber turn when she appeared in the family-friendly tearjerker, My Girl.

My Girl is currently streaming on Netflix.

True Lies

Jamie Lee Curtis took off her clothes for comedy—for third time!—when she appeared in James Cameron’s True Lies 20 years ago.

Freaky Friday

In the late 1990s, Curtis started to put more clothes on and utilized her comedy chops to even greater effect. She played Lindsay Lohan’s mom in Freaky Friday.

Freaky Friday is available to rent on Amazon and Google Play.

Activia spokesperson

Just when we thought we’d heard the last about Jamie Lee Curtis’s body, she became the spokesperson for Activia. Curtis appeared in a variety of commercials for the product in which she talked about her bowels.

New Girl

Curtis continued her streak as “funny mom person” when she cameoed as Jess’s “perky” mom on New Girl.

New Girl is streaming on Netflix.

Veronica Mars (the movie)

Jamie Lee Curtis was most recently seen giving Veronica Mars a run for the money in the “domineering with sass” department.

Veronica Mars is available to buy or rent on Amazon, Google Play or iTunes.
