Jamie Lee Curtis Talks ‘Halloween,’ Venice Golden Lion

’ own admission, she’s had a hell of a career, filled with all sorts of opportunities. “I’m an actor. I write books for children. I create websites and podcasts. I have sold yogurt that makes you poop. I’ve done Hertz commercials with O.J. Simpson,” she says. “I’ve been able to do so much and I’m very lucky to be able to do what I do, in whatever form it is.”

Yet, the mutli-hyphenate seems more surprised than anyone that she will be receiving the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at this year’s Venice International Film Festival on Sept. 8. Curtis will be there with her latest film, “Congratulations on the Venice honor. How did you find out about it and what was your reaction?

Well, it was unexpected. And cool. I’m the wrong person to ask any of these questions because I’m just sort of trying to be where I am while I’m there. I’m not someone who ever anticipated this moment, so I’m trying not to overanalyze it. Because I could, in a very negative way. You’ve done so many genres but you’ll always be associated with horror and I love that you come back to it. I feel like the genre is getting a lot more respect these days and its wonderful “Halloween Kills” will be at Venice.

I agree with you. I think the Italian cinema as a collective have respect respected the genre in a way that American cinema has not. And that’s okay. But when I was first acting in movies, they were called B movies. The labeling was very clear: These are not high art. But you still show up and you work the same hours and the process is the same. And if you have any integrity, you go into it with the same level of commitment. And I’ve been doing that for a very long time.

Amazing!!
