During her appearance on the program “60 Minutes,” the actress talked about plastic surgery she underwent at age 25 following a comment from the cinematographer of the film “Perfect,” starring Jamie Lee Curtis in 1985.
“He said, ‘No, I’m not going to film her today. Her eyes are swollen,’” the actress recalled during her interview. “It was very embarrassing to hear that. As soon as the film was finished, I ended up having plastic surgery,” she confessed.
In 2019, she told The New Yorker that it was Gordon Willis who commented on her appearance. Jamie Lee Curtis said at the time that her eyes have been naturally swollen since childhood.
After the distress, she underwent surgery to remove the swelling around her eyes, but the result was not what she hoped for. Shortly after the procedure, Jamie Lee Curtis became addicted to Vicodin.

“That obsession with fillers, procedures, and filters is erasing entire generations of beauty. Once you start messing with your face, there’s no turning back,” she told Fast Company magazine in 2021.
Jamie Lee Curtis has been sober for 26 years and advocates for embracing natural aging.
“We have to be who we are, accept who we are and who we’re not. And I think that’s the beauty of me right now, owning that,” said the actress.
