Jamie Lee Curtisis addressing a memorable partnership.
The 66-year-old Halloween icon made an appearance on 60 Minutes over the weekend, where she opened up about her career, including some of her memorable spokesperson spots, including deals with L’eggs, Hertz and, maybe most famously of all, Activia.
When asked why she took on those roles amid her success in Hollywood, Jamie answered: “For the most part, because they allowed me to stay home with my kids.”

“I am an imperfect, you know, working mom, because no working moms are perfect,” she continued.
“We make it look good. We think we’ve done it, but the truth is we feel badly,” the actress said, “but I know how much time away from them I spent in pursuit of my own creativity.”
She previously discussed the commercials in a 2021 episode of podcast The Kingcast.
She said that being on set and not with her family “really took a toll” on her, and “is the reason that I sold yogurt that makes you s–t for seven years.”
“I’ve been doing commercials for a very, very, very long time, partially so I can ameliorate all of that distance from my family,” she continued. “It allowed me to earn money and stay home.”
