Jamie Lee Curtis attractive?


If they had cast a different person instead of her I would have probably liked it more, I just couldn't get over her playing a sexually-empowered woman since she looks like a foot. Anyone agree? Not trying to be a hater, just sayin'.

Well you must be seeing your reflection from the TV when you watch it because shes gorgeous and your probably not and most likely filled with jealousy so you feel its necessary to bash her to make you feel better.


Ahahaha, wonderful response!

She looked amazing in this film! My favorite part was when she first met John Cleese and she puts on some reading glasses for a sort of geek girl charm.

Jamie Lee looked amazing in this movie, i even think she never looked better. I'm surprised that though Wanda was so backstabbing and ready to do just about everything with anyone in order to get her way, she didn't appear slutty AT ALL! She was more of a she-devil! (all the more fun) :)

I realize that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I've spent a lot of time, way too much time, trying to figure out what it could be that would cause you to find Jamie Lee so unattractive that you feel that it wrecked the movie. But the movie is/was clearly a success and it has to be a small minority of people who don't get it. It stands to reason, I guess, that these same people would find (or claim to find) that a woman of the caliber of Jamie Lee Curtis is anything less than phenomenal. Not only is she beautiful and sexy as hell, but she's a great actress and comedienne. I tried to consider what it could be - her height, her short hair, her intelligence, that might be such a turn-off to someone else but I just can't see it because these are the things that make Jamie Lee hot. She's not petite and demure, and yes, that can work too with the right person, but that doesn't take the least little thing away from Jamie Lee Curtis' greatness. Of course, this isn't going to change your opinion of how someone looks, and I guess that will forever prevent you from seeing how much talent she has, but since you felt compelled to tell us you think she looks like a foot, I felt even more compelled to respond.

What? She is hot in this movie. When you see her in the black bra & panties I am so turned on I pass out.

For sure! As Wayne and Garth would say, "Schwing!"

reply

Are you blind or just plain crazy? She looks amazing, shes beautiful! Its very rare to find an actress who is gorgeous, sexy AND talented! Shes got em all.
As Lababes said, your probably just jealous.

You know even I never found her attractive, just one of those actresses who just don't do anything for you, but this movie totally turned that around, she looked quite hot here, I'm certainly going to keep an eye on Jamie Lee from now on (from 80's, early 90's I mean)

reply

i didn't mean to make anyone upset or something, haha i just wanted to express my jerky opinion i guess. i find it hilarious that people actually are implying i am just jealous but i guess i should have expected that for making such a jerky comment. i still think she looks manly but to each their own i suppose!

reply

So you think the rumors are true????


This will be the high point of my day; it's all downhill from here.

reply

I think 'foot' does a great job describing her appearance!

reply

I've been schwingin' for JLC for over 30 years (she's eight months younger than me), and I can honestly say I see where some might find her unattractive. A very unique look, what with no upper lip, and all. lol There's just something about her. Put on display in Perfect, The Dorothy Straton Story, Trading Places, True Lies, to name a few. As you said; sexy, yet seemingly approachable.

Check out her patent.

Yes! Some pea-brains don't get the humor. I think Jame is super attractive. A classic beauty? No, but not everyone is model gorgeous! :)

reply

I agree that she is not so charming or sexy than some younger girls as we often see in the movie like jessica alba.But under such circumstance of the movie, Jamie Lee Curtis and Wanda just perfectly match. I even want to say that Wanda is just for Jamie and Jamie is just for Wanda.

reply

// I agree that she is not so charming or sexy than some younger girls as we often see in the movie like jessica alba. //

No way! Jamie Lee Curtis is hot because she's sexy AND intelligent. Jessica Alba, and many other young starlets today like her, may be gorgeous, but she's got the personality of a block of wood. Not sexy.

reply

I agree whole-heartedly....jessica alba is not sexy because she is, as you put it, a block of wood.

reply

She is really sexy and gorgeous in the movie--maybe it's just that her haircut and glasses are very 80's that made you say that she's not attractive. If it was done today she would probably have a Pob or something.

reply

i can agree with you there. i didn't say in comparison to jessica alba, i just meant in general i don't think shes attactive.

reply

Body a 9.5...face a 6. Very masculine looking woman facially...dont get me wrong, shes no Amilee Mauresmo but shes got more Tony than Janet in that face.

reply

I agree with cknob, jlc has a fantastic body which makes her hot but with her plain face it also makes her unattractive if you don't know what her body looks like.

reply

She is not beautiful to me but she is extremely sexy...

reply

I personally think she looks quite dull. In one scene of Wanda I actually think she looks kind of like a man (I'm not trying to piss people off - it's just what I think).

reply

She does look like a man. Sure, she's stacked and she can look sexy (the "True Lies" dance scene comes to mind) but the man look usually ruins it for me. Just an opinion.

reply

Watch the scene when she's walking away after she first meets Archie; that's dull??? Or when she and Otto are at the flat and she's changing, holding that peach colored silky thing wiiide open; that's dull??? I agree she has a rather....unique....face, but she's hardly dull looking.

This will be the high point of my day; it's all downhill from here.

reply

This is hilarious! At least 90% of males will never get a girl that is as attractive as Curtis was in this film. Her body was hot! I see Internet dorks claiming Scarlett is not attractive, and saying Uma was ugly. Seriously, I was unaware that nerds who posted on IMDB pulled woman that make Scarlett look ugly. This is truly amazing! It must be the post count or the flaming on the Narnia board that makes them want the nerds.

P.S. 99% of the people on this site would kill to get Scarlett, or Jamie Lee in this film. I was unaware beggars were now choosers.

Yeah, it's funny. But I think the original poster cribbed it from Peter Griffin in the "The Family Guy" when he says that Sarah Jessica Parker (I believe) "looks like a foot." But, like I said, even if the original poster "borrowed" the line, it's still funny.

reply

haha, you are right! i did borrow that line and i think it applies to her just as well as sarah jessica parker. :D

reply

I recognised it from PTV too. I think the foot comparison is much better suited to SJP than Jamie Lee Curtis though. Also Kitanti, it's "Family Guy" not "The Family Guy".

The fact the you can compare Jamie Lee Curtis to that horse can mean one thing: you're either blind or blind. You have no clue what sexy means. Also, as someone previously said, you would probably kill to have a woman looking half as good as she does.
