Jamie Lee Curtis, 67, has shed light on when she’ll retire from the silver screen. “I am done self-retiring. But no, of course I’ll retire,” she told People at the Los Angeles premiere of her new movie, Ella McCay, on Tuesday. “The whole reason I’ve talked about self-retiring is, I’m going to leave before you don’t ask me to come anymore.” The Freaky Friday star referenced a Today show interview she gave last week, in which she said she had “probably claimed retirement four times” before. “The context of that statement was I watched my parents, who loved this industry, who were mega stars,” she said. “And I watched both of them lose that life force because of aging and just getting older. They just didn’t have those opportunities, and it was heartbreaking.” Curtis’s mother is Psycho star Janet Leigh, who died in 2004 at 77, and her father is Some Like It Hot star Tony Curtis, who died in 2010 at 85. “I’m going to step away before you no longer go, ‘Hey, Jamie, come here,’” she said. “And I was raised around it, and therefore I felt like I want to take advantage of the opportunities that I have and then always have one foot out the door.”
