Recently, Jamie Lee Curtis, multiple Golden Globe-winning actress and author of children’s books, spoke about how the demands of the movie industry contributed to her own series of plastic surgeries. During an interview with Fast Company, she stated that plastic surgery and filters to maintain beauty for the camera and social media are destroying original beauty. The culture of film actors trying to change their looks to become more screen worthy, and appear younger to appeal more to a broader audience, has been around almost since the beginning of filmmaking. These days, however, as opposed to yesteryear when this was done secretly, actors are more or less unconcerned with whether it is a secret or not.

However, according to her, she herself does not have the body she portrays. She decided to open up on the effects of plastic surgeries to sensitize the younger generation that there is no “picture perfect body.” It is a norm that, at some point, the human body will grow old and deteriorate. Curtis also condemned the situation in which youngsters make comparisons between themselves and others just to be disappointed. This is because most yardsticks for measuring beauty on social media are seemingly unachievable. TRUE LIES, Jamie Lee Curtis, 1994. ph: Zade Rosenthal / TM and Copyright © 20th Century Fox Film Corp.
