STILL BASKING IN HER OSCARS GLORY JAMIE LEE CURTIS ON WHY THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE WORTH THE WAIT

It seems fitting that a star of the big screen who waited 45 years for the sweet taste of Oscars glory should have written a book about delayed gratification. A year on from scooping the Academy Award for Best

Supporting Actress for her role in Everything Everywhere All at Once – and dedicating her gong to her late parents, Hollywood legends Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh – that moment still feels like “a dream” to Jamie Lee Curtis.

“It’s still incredible to me,” says the actress, whose first movie role was in the 1978 horror classic Halloween. “But I wasn’t waiting for it or expecting it. What I did wait a long time for was something as special and as creative as Everything Everywhere All at Once.

“Working on that movie was an incredible experience; the Oscar was the unexpected extra.”
