‘The Bear’ Star Jamie Lee Curtis Reveals ‘Scarpetta’ Details, She'll Be A Grandma In 'Freaky Friday 2' And Why 'Borderlands' Was "A Girl Power Trip"

On the podcast, she reminisced about making the first Freaky Friday 21 years ago, with a then-15-year-old Lindsay Lohan, and teased a little of what might happen in this sequel, admitting her role has evolved somewhat since last time. Next up, Curtis is set to shoot Scarpetta —a TV series for Amazon she’s starring in and producing alongside Nicole Kidman, based on the bestselling Patricia Cornwell books about a medical examiner. And we get to reminiscing over her career, her secret texting code she developed with Lohan, her love of True Detective: Night Country and her delight over her friendship with its star Jodie Foster, who of course led the original Freaky Friday film in 1976: “It’s just been beautiful to be able to become very close friends at this age.”
