Jamie Lee Curtis is celebrating 49 years of her career and took to social media to mark the occasion and reveal that she never imagined she would follow an artistic career.
In a post shared on Monday, March 31, the actress from “Scarpetta” reflected on when she began working in television and said she believed she would one day become a police officer.
In a post on Instagram, Curtis, 67, shared two moments of herself; in the first, she appears in one of her earliest TV roles at age 19, as a waitress in an episode of the series “Columbo” in 1977.
In the second, a recent selfie: “Next year, I will celebrate 50 years as an actress. I never imagined I would become an actress. I thought I would become a police officer,” she wrote.
“I was telling the story of my early jobs on set, as a nameless waitress in an episode of Columbo, when I was a contracted actress at Universal Pictures, and now I am a producer, the boss, a co-star of Nicole Kidman and a collaborator.”
Curtis added: “There were no plans to extend the work. It was just one job at a time, grateful for every opportunity and with patience. A lot of patience,” she concluded.
Fans and friends of Curtis quickly flooded the post with praise for the “The Bear” actress; “Always kind, humble, elegant and full of gratitude. She is Jamie Lee Curtis, for God’s sake, and she’s the only one who doesn’t know it. Born in 1967, Lady Jamie is a huge part of the soundtrack of my life. That’s how it’s done, folks,” wrote one person.
“One of the best and most talented actresses today!!! Hollywood would be nothing without you!” praised another.
“You would make a great police officer,” commented a third.
