Jennifer Jason Leigh was spotted running errands on the streets of Los Angeles last week, and she looked unrecognizable from her 20-year-old self who played Stacy Hamilton in Fast Times At Ridgemont High. She is also known for her roles in Single White Female and The Hateful Eight.
The 62-year-old was seen wearing an orange sweatshirt over light blue jeans and a pair of green sandals. She strutted to her car carrying two purses and an orange thermos flask in one hand. She looked gorgeous despite the casual look and pulled her straight hair back with her sunglasses.
What is Jennifer Jason Leigh doing now?
Jennifer starred in the fifth season of FX’s Fargo, which earned an Emmy nomination this year. She is also starring in two thrillers, Night Always Comes and Crime 101, both of which will be released next year.
Although she comes from a Hollywood family and is a film star herself, Jennifer prefers to keep out of the public eye. She started her career as a teenager, starring as the blind, mute, and deaf Tracy Harris in Eye Of A Stranger. She landed her breakout role in Fast Times at Ridgemont High the following year.

Jennifer Lason Leigh had a difficult childhood
Jennifer’s parents, Barbra Turner and Vic Morrow, were notable names in the movie industry back in the day. She was only two when they separated, and then lost her father to an accident on the set of The Twilight Zone Movie in 1982.
It was tough growing up because Jennifer was never close to her father; however, she refused to disclose details about their relationship to keep his public image admirable. Jennifer credits her mother for her success, recalling how she would do research and fill the walls with notes when writing screenplays.
