Jamie Lee Curtis With White Hair is This Whole New Empowering Actress

Let’s be honest and get this out there right away, Jamie Lee Curtis is not the average old person and she’s definitely an empowered actress, though whether this has to do with the stark white hairdo or the utter confidence that she’s had since adopting this look is hard to say since she’s been coming on strong for a while now. She’s been a stunning sight throughout most of her career despite the fact that, according to Brittany Broley of The List she’s been seeking an identity for a long time now. Much of this had to do with the fact that she grew up in a rather tense home since she did have a man that she called father but she was still introduced as the daughter of Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, which is fairly tough when you’re already the child of two famous stars and are attempting to find your own identity. The idea that Curtis has been anything but sound as an individual however throughout the years has been something that many a fan has taken for granted since they likely believed that she was as composed as any other actor.

Amusingly enough you can track her changes throughout her career since from the moment she started up to the present she’s been altering her style and her acting ability as needed in order to fit in and make sure that people like her, even during those moments when it appeared that her career was in a slump of sorts. Curtis has had her great movies and her bad ones, but lately it does seem as though she’s coming off as a rather regal and in some cases very empowered woman that is no longer uncertain and knows exactly what she’s going for each time she steps on stage. It’s kind of interesting how some folks don’t really find their identity until they get older and find a sense of personal refinement that allows them to fully identify with who they’ve become and who they’re going to be for the rest of their career. In a big way this is like shifting gears late in the game, and only a handful of people ever seem capable of pulling it off as  Jamie Lee has done. The kind of grace and the ability to stand up and decide that this is what she’s going to do at this point in her life is something that a lot of people might look at and call a last gasp at this point of her career, but given how well she’s aged and the fact that she’s still an impressive actress it does seem as though we might be able to expect even more from her in the future to come.

She’s definitely come a long way from her Halloween days and has successfully moved past the horror genre despite going back to it again and again. In fact throughout her long and storied career at this point there are a great many memories that have been made as she’s lit things up on the small and big screen in a way that has actually pleased many people and only irritated a certain number for various reasons that seem quite silly when you really look at them. She even showed upon NCIS where she got to play the part of a silver-haired older woman that was one of the many that seems to delight in challenging Leroy Jethro Gibbs, the guy on the show that everyone looks to and respects without question. Something about his character seems to make the writers draw up one woman after another that will openly challenge him in many ways that he sometimes isn’t ready for, and in others that he’s ready for but finds kind of irritating. Curtis’ character seems to have been among the latter to be honest. But if this had been a couple of decades earlier one can imagine that the regal, somewhat imperious attitude of Curtis might have been a little different, of course Mark Harmon was different back then too.

With the years continuing to pass and the actors and actresses we’ve grown up with getting older, passing away, and either fading off or changing their looks, it’s becoming clear that some of them are going to try and go out gracefully, and others are going to try going out on top and in style since Curtis is showing that no matter how old she gets there’s nothing that’s going to slow her down or keep her from doing what she wants. You’ve got to respect that since it indicates that a while back she found herself in a big way and she’s been rocking it ever since. At this point, aging isn’t slowing her down at all, it’s just making her even stronger.
