However, the Emmy winner has recently revealed that she has been slowly planning to leave Hollywood, and also the reason behind it.

Why has Jamie Lee Curtis been planning to get out of Hollywood?

In a report with The Guardian, the daughter of industry icons Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis, Jamie Lee Curtis, said the reason behind getting out of Hollywood is the way older actors are being treated, especially women. Another important reason is how her parents got rejected as they aged, which has led them to take this drastic decision.

She said, "I witnessed my parents lose the very thing that gave them their fame and their life and their livelihood when the industry rejected them at a certain age. I watched them reach incredible success and then have it slowly erode to where it was gone. And that's very painful".
