Jamie Lee Curtis on Hollywood with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson (Higher Ground Productions)

This is a month old discussion between Jamie Lee Curtis (JLC) with Michelle Obama and her brother Craig Robinson. It runs for a little over an hour.

I wasn't sure where to put this because it's not too political but has some political elements. Jamie Lee talks about her anti-Hollywood Hollywood upbringing. I've always loved Jamie Lee and this is even a better discussion with Michelle Obama being involved. I don't know much about Craig except that he loves sardines.


There is a brief but annoying Shipt advertisement from Craig Robinson in this discussion so please be aware of that. It's what channels sometimes do to run sponsored segments.


I'm not deaf but I keep captions "turned on" on YouTube just because some people have a tendency to talk fast or mumble, so captions are available for those with hearing issues.


I hope that people are able to enjoy this!

Mrs. Permanut and I have been huge Jamie Lee Curtis fans since she created the Laurie Strode character in Halloween in 1978.

I find Jamie Lee to be very grounded and humble.

I hope that you and Mrs. Permanut enjoy this discussion at your leisure.

the shower scene from psycho, of course . if any of those scenes from halloween appear to be paying homage let me know. "scream queen, nature or nurture."

and just checked the filmography of one of my favorite pin up girls. i was pretty sure she would be in halloween, she was in all of carpenter's movies. her scene was cut from halloween, but back in for the dvd.

"i'm spartacus" from the kirk douglas film is a great tony curtiss performance.

tony curtiss. ooh. handsome devil. 6 wives. 6 children

no academy awards, nominated for "the defiant ones."

i guess "some like it hot" has some early trans stereotypes. guess i shoud see that soon.

i had forgotten he was the boston strangler. probably why so many women send love letters to serial killers.

I own the entire Halloween franchise films, including Halloween 3 that has nothing to do with Michael Myers or Laurie Strode.


My favorite horror movie with Jamie Lee is Prom Night.
