Jamie Lee Curtis after Trump’s victory: Many are afraid now

Hollywood star Jamie Lee Curtis, 65, is worried after Donald Trump’s election victory. “This means a safe return to a more restrictive, some fear draconian, time,” the actress wrote on Instagram. “Many fear that their rights will be restricted and denied. Minorities and young people are afraid, gay and trans people will be more afraid,” said Curtis, who has a child who came out as transgender in 2020.

“We know that many women will now have a difficult time getting the reproductive health care they need and deserve,” Curtis said, citing other problems that could arise from Trump and his team’s announcements. “For all of these people, there will be those to help them,” Curtis added. “Including me.” And further: “Fight for women and our children and their future and fight against tyranny every day. One fight at a time. One protest at a time. This is what it means to be an American.”

Jamie Lee Curtis, daughter of Tony Curtis (“Some Like It Hot”) and Janet Leigh (“Psycho”), made her breakthrough at the age of 19 as Laurie Strode in the cult horror film “Halloween”. She later appeared in films such as “A Fish Called Wanda” and “True Lies”. In 2023, Curtis won a supporting actress Oscar for her portrayal of a meticulous tax officer in the sci-fi action comedy “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” She is one of the most famous film stars and is considered an icon of liberal Hollywood.
