      Both Jamie and Lindsay were brilliant in that movie. Jamie's middle-aged-teen made for the laughs, whereas teen-middle-aged Lindsay's character was more understated because that was her role. She was to set up and react to the comedy moments for Jamie, which is pretty rare for a teenage starlet to set the stage for the older woman to shine. They were both brilliant and played well off eachother

    My daughters favorite book growing up was "Tell Me Again About The Night I Was Born ".

She is so talented just all the way around a wonderful woman and role model ...I love that she's a vulgarian..I am too

That being said, I never let like strong reactions dictate how I feel toward someone. Like I had fun with solo but I know tons didn’t and I’m ok with that. Because there are bigger issues in life to be angry about than a movie. Especially since you have other Star Wars movies that fall to your liking if you wish. I admit when the last Jedi reactions came out and hearing everyone bully each other, I felt a bit embarrassed to be a Star Wars fan. This is is Star Wars. A franchise about embracing your inner child.

    She’s got such a strong presence when she speaks, I loved listening to her talk about her filmography. I’m happy she had such positive experiences throughout her career, especially Halloween, True Lies and Freaky Friday

    Freaky Friday was what made me a fan of Jamie Lee Curtis when I was a kid. But I also had no idea many years later that I found out she has really famous parents Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh.

    “I’m surprised they didn’t include “Love Letters” on the time line. Her performance was so good and she played that character so well. I don’t know if she won any awards for that role but she surely deserved it.

      I think Vanity Fair cuts out some segments. For certain actors they should really consider extending the episode up to 28min. Granted, 24min is still one of their longest episodes.
