JAMIE LEE CURTIS’S OSCAR GAVE HER CHARITY A BOOST

Let’s face it, Jamie Lee Curtis gives captivating acceptance speeches! (Angela Bassett might not agree) But here’s a nice surprise:  Jamie’s Oscar win is actually helping charity.  She is a founder of My Hand in Yours, a charity benefiting Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles. Soon after her Academy Award win, many of the items the charity sells online quickly sold out – especially prints of an autographed photo of Jamie from her successful movie franchises, Halloween. In addition to the $150 signed photos, the charity sells everything from jewelry to candles, scarves to dog bowls, and Jamie has raised over a million dollars for the hospital.

JAMIE LEE CURTIS: INTERSEX RUNS IN THE FAMILY?

When we heard Jamie Lee Curtis’s announcement that her youngest child is transgender, we couldn’t help but be reminded of that rumor about Jamie herself. Jamie was the child of two major movie stars – Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh. It was a generally accepted rumor in Hollywood that Jamie herself was born intersex (with features of both sexes) and she had surgery after birth to become a female. Through the years the rumor has persisted for two reasons: Jamie has NEVER denied the rumor or addressed the issue at all, AND she didn’t give birth to her two children – she adopted both of them. Considering the situation, Jamie just might decide to finally talk about her own set of circumstances – or maybe not.
