Jamie Lee Curtis says realizing she's 'going to die soon' made her want to produce more powerful movies

Jamie Lee Curtis reveals that when she realized she was 'going to die soon,' she felt emboldened to step into her power and produce more meaningful stories later in life.

Jamie Lee Curtis, whose many brushes with fictional death at the hands of Michael Myers made her Hollywood's enduring Queen of Halloween, reveals in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly that facing real-life mortality inspired the next phase of her career in the industry. Filmmaker Zeberiah Newman's upcoming documentary, which Curtis personally funded, probes into how Powter lost her fortune and ended up working as a delivery driver for Uber Eats in 2024. Earlier this month, PEOPLE reported on Powter's current living conditions, with the star revealing that she lost her amassed fortune due to bad business deals, lawsuits, and relying on a team that pushed her toward a"mortifying" experience with TV stardom.
