Today at 64, Jamie Lee Curtis is known as an original scream queen whose filmography just keeps growing with more celebrated hits. Her career began in '77 when Curtis was in Quincy, M.E., the same year she rose to prominence in Operation Petticoat. At that time, Curtis was 19. At the age of 50, the Halloween alum appeared topless on a magazine cover and the public response surprised her. The publication in question is AARP The Magazine, a bi-monthly publication that focuses on age-related issues and celebrates people age 50 and older. Back in the summer of 2008, Curtis posed topless for the magazine and is revisiting the occasion now after that same magazine bestowed her with the Career Achievement Award this Saturday. In particular, she's reflecting on the big reaction it elicited.
