Curtis talks about plastic surgery “conspiracy”

Jamie Lee Curtis, who’s currently starring in the new movie You Again, believes there is a “conspiracy” in Hollywood to make actresses have cosmetic surgery. The 51-year-old star thinks it’s wrong that so many older actresses feel under pressure to change their appearance to try and keep working in the movie business. She says: “Everybody is saying that to get jobs you have to dye your hair and get injectables. It’s a conspiracy, a complete catastrophe, a surgical industrial complex. Somehow we are being fed this belief that to continue on we have to do this. Yet people are being disfigured. It’s shocking what people are doing to their faces.” Curtis is adamant she will never go under the knife. She added in an interview with AARP The Magazine: “I’m getting my a*s out of this business in a few years because genetically it’s not going to work for me. There are people who, when you see them on the screen, there’s an audible gasp of, ‘Oh my God. They look terrible.’ Or they’ve done something to themselves and now look like freaks. There is only one Meryl Streep and one Sigourney Weaver. But I could name 30 other actresses in their (age) groups who aren’t working today.”
