The D23 Expo was a blast! It is one of the biggest Disney ventures that has received recognition, honors and recognition. One of those names was Jamie Lee Curtis. She will be named a Disney Legend on August 11, 2024.
Actress Lindsay Lohan took the stage and performed a series of Curtis’ most memorable roles and told the crowd, “I’ve been so blessed to work with Jamie Lee Curtis.”
And the magic of Jamie Lee Curtis is that she is timeless. Every character she plays is different and she always brings something new to her role. And I feel so lucky to have Jamie in my life as a friend and I feel so lucky to work with a woman I admire so much.”
Jodie Foster also joined Lohan and they talked about the things they have in common. Foster praised Curtis and shared some interesting facts about him with the crowd.
“Here are some of the weirdest things you might not know about her: You might not know that she eats dinner at 3 or 4 a.m. and goes to sleep until 7:30. She wakes up at 3 a.m., saves the world and does a little online shopping,” Foster added.
Foster also presented Curtis with Mickey Mouse ears. Curtis became emotional while accepting her award (and the mouse ears). She expressed her gratitude, talked about her favorite Disney ride, the Carousel of Progress, and invited the audience to sing its theme song with her.
“There’s a great, big, beautiful tomorrow shining at the end of every day. There’s a great, big, beautiful tomorrow, and tomorrow is just a dream away,” she concluded.
Curtis is currently filming the second installment of the hit film Freaky Friday 2. She starred opposite Lindsay Lohan in the previous Freaky Friday in 2003.
In a previous interview with People, Lohan shared her enthusiasm for the project, and expressed excitement about collaborating with Curtis. While details about the sequel are still scarce, Lohan’s comments indicate a promising reunion between the two actresses.
Lohan said the new movie is “in process,” but she couldn’t say when filming would begin or if there’s even a finished script. However, the star added that she’s “just excited to work with Jamie and see how far we can take it.”
The plot of Freaky Friday is based on Mary Rodgers’ 1972 novel.
