"My life completely changed with the birth of our daughter, Annie. I was a young mom at the end of 1986, and I was starting that impossible-to-describe work balance between personal life, motherhood, and work."
"There are so many books written, so much money being made trying to prepare you for something unpreparable. It's the great lie. So you figure it out on the fly, as we've all figured it out in our lives."
Jamie Lee Curtis became a mother in 1986 when she and her husband Christopher Guest adopted their daughter Annie, marking a pivotal moment that reshaped her life. Despite her established career as a movie star and sex symbol, Curtis found motherhood unprepared her for the profound changes ahead. She later adopted a second daughter, Ruby, when Annie was nine. Over four decades, Curtis successfully balanced motherhood with her acting career, experiencing a major resurgence in recent years with an Oscar win for Everything Everywhere All at Once in 2022 and an Emmy for The Bear in 2024. She continues working on projects like the Prime Video crime drama Scarpetta, which she also executive produced.
