Lindsan Lohan & Jamie Lee Curtis - THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY (Again)

REUNITING MORE THAN TWO DECADES AFTER THEIR COMEDY HIT FREAKY FRIDAY, THE STARS REFLECT ON THEIR LASTING FRIENDSHIP AND HOW THEY'VE CHANGED

- JASON SHEELER

On a vast soundstage on the Disney lot in Burbank, Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan are experiencing a little déjà vu. It's the day after they wrapped shooting on the long-awaited sequel Freakier Friday, in theaters Aug. 8, and they have come back to work one final day for their People cover shoot. But in keeping with the mysticism of the body-swapping 1972 book by Mary Rodgers, which spawned Curtis and Lohan's hit 2003 adaptation Freaky Friday (Jodie Foster had her 1976 version too), there is some woo-woo happening.

"It's so weird," Lohan says as she enters the hangar-size space. "It just hit me. This is where we came for our makeup test on the first movie." Curtis adds, "It feels like home." Lohan nods. "Life is so full circle sometimes."

Of course, Lohan and Curtis are no strangers to studio lots such as this one. Curtis, the daughter of screen idols Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, found fame at age 19 in the Halloween franchise and is now enjoying an Oscar- and Emmy-winning renaissance in films and television. New York-born Lohan launched her career at 12 with a different Disney remake, The Parent Trap, before starring in films like Mean Girls as a teen and recently making her own return to the spotlight in a series of chart-topping Netflix rom-coms. But more than two decades after Freaky Friday, the mother-daughter vibes remain. Lohan says they never left. "Jamie was with me at a time in my life when I was going through a lot publicly," she says. "She was privately really there for me. I can trust her."
