Jamie Lee Curtis is loving where she’s at.
“I am so much more beautiful now than I have ever been in my entire life,” she told Page Six exclusively at a special screening of “Freakier Friday” on Monday night in New York.
The Oscar winner went on to explain why she feels gorgeous at 66, saying, “That’s because I am living a truth that I feel very comfortable in.”
The actress has been on a roll the last few years, appearing in hit movies like “Knives Out,” winning an Academy Award for “Everything Everywhere All At Once” and starring in the upcoming “Murder She Wrote” reboot.
However, Curtis acknowledge that her hot streak will end eventually.
“There is a ticking clock for everybody,” she admitted. “There’s a cliff for everybody. Every great actor, except Meryl Streep. No cliff for Meryl Streep. Other than that, everybody’s going to have a cliff.”
The “Bear” star explained that watching her parents, Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, navigate Hollywood as they aged taught her an important lesson.
Both her parents were huge stars in the ’50s and ’60s. Tony was a matinee idol who starred opposite Marilyn Monroe in “Some Like It Hot,” while Leigh was the original “scream queen” in Alfred Hitchcock’s “Psycho.”
“I watched my parents lose the thing they loved,” Jamie told us. “The thing they loved that gave them fame, attention, art, creativity, it was taken away because they aged out.”
Jamie added that she has seen this happen among her contemporaries.
“I have a lot of friends who don’t work anymore,” she confessed. “And it’s really hard for them, and it’s hard for me because I feel their pain. I feel they’re missing it. So I’ve always been a little one foot in, one foot out.
“You know, what do they call it? Irish exit. Where you just don’t even, like, all of a sudden you’re not there. I’ve always felt like I needed to do that, or prepare myself to do that.”
Despite her preparation, that doesn’t appear to be happening anytime soon.
Jamie can soon be seen opposite Lindsay Lohan in “Freakier Friday” — the long-awaited sequel to the 2003 comedy “Freaky Friday.”
The “Halloween” star said she has watched Lohan grow up and couldn’t be prouder.
“We’re friends, we’ve seen each other for 20 years,” she gushed. “And then I watched her get married, I watched her have a baby. And become this artist she is today. And it’s beautiful to see.”
