Taking the easy way out would be granting this Dazzler of the Day to Jamie Lee Curtis simply because it’s Halloween season and there’s a new Halloween movie out. That would also deny the remarkable power and talent that Curtis has exemplified these past few decades. (I’ve been smitten since her scene-stealing romp in ‘True Lies’.) But even that falls by the wayside when I think of the real reason she is so dazzling: she knows who she is, failings and all, and she simply doesn’t give a fuck anymore. That is the greatest inspiration for any of us still scared to genuinely confront who we are at any given time – and it’s dazzling and mesmerizing and worthy of all the accolades that are coming to her.
