“I got my SAG card when I was 19 years old, when I signed a seven-year contract to Universal Studios and starred in an ABC TV series called the Operation Petticoat, which was based on the movie that my father, Tony Curtis — nepo baby! — starred in,” she said.

She continued, “I was fired from that TV show a year later and I thought my life was over. But the good news is that if I hadn’t been fired from Operation Petticoat, I would have never had the opportunity to audition for a little tiny, no-budget horror movie called Halloween.”

Jamie Lee won Best Supporting Actress at the show for Everything Everywhere All at Once and she once again noted that she’s a nepo baby.
