Los Angeles, April 1 – Hollywood actress Jamie Lee Curtis initially had no intention of becoming a screen performer, despite coming from a family of actors.
The actress always envisioned herself as a police officer. The star of "Everything Everywhere All at Once" is amazed to be celebrating almost 50 years in Hollywood, as it was not the path she had envisioned for her life when she was younger, according to "Female First UK".
The 67-year-old actress shared a photo online of herself playing a waitress in an episode of Columbo in 1977, one of her earliest roles at around 19, alongside a current-day selfie on Instagram.
She wrote in the caption, "Next year, I will have been an actress for 50 years. I was never going to be an actor. I thought I'd be a cop".
As per "Female First UK", the actress reflected on how far her career has come since her early days.
She wrote, "I was telling the story on set of my early jobs as an unnamed waitress on a Columbo episode when I was a contract player at Universal Pictures and now I am a producer, HBIC (head b in charge), a costar with Nicole Kidman and collaborator on #scarpetta @primevideo @nowscreamingpv @blumhouse @comet.pictures @blossomfilms".
The actress insisted she never had a plan in mind for her career, as she shared, "There was no future planning. It was just each job, one job at a time, grateful for any opportunity and patience. Lots of patience".
Jamie recently admitted she has been "self-retiring" for decades. The Halloween star, whose parents were Hollywood legends Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, has long been aware of the industry's harsh treatment of older performers.
