Jamie Lee Curtis recently honored her late mother on her birthday. Jamie Lee’s mom was Janet Leigh. Janet was also a Hollywood star and is best known for her roles in Little Women and Psycho. She married Tony Curtis in 1951 and they had two children together, including Jamie Lee. Ultimately, the couple split up in 1962.

However, Jamie Lee followed in her parent’s footsteps and became a famous actress as well. She doesn’t often share throwback photos from her childhood, so it was a real treat for fans! She shared a photo of her mother holding her when she was young.
