Jamie Lee Curtis

Things that suggest the rumor is untrue are that the media had reason to tarnish Leigh and Curtis' reputations at that time, since their careers were no longer hugely successful. Cathy Downs has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her contribution to Motion Pictures, at 6648 Hollywood Boulevard. Facts that point to the likelihood of the rumor's truth is that Curtis underwent mysterious surgeries and "complications" shortly after her birth, as well as her unisex name. She worked sporadically in television during the 1960s but was unemployed for several years before her death in Los Angeles, California. The supposition usually refers to androgen insensitivity syndrome. By the beginning of the 1950s she was appearing in lower budget films, including some science fiction films, with one of these films Missile to the Moon marking her last screen appearance, in 1958. There is much speculation, which has sometimes even been alleged in high school and college biology courses, that Curtis was born an intersexual; but it is unknown whether this is an urban legend or fact. Following the success of the latter, Downs was cast in a prison drama For You I Die (1947), an Abbott & Costello comedy The Noose Hangs High, and several western films.

Born in Port Jefferson, New York, Downs began her film career with a small role in The Dolly Sisters (1945) and the following year played the title role in My Darling Clementine. Curtis was Guest of Honor at the 11th annual Gala and Fundraiser in 2003 for Women in Recovery, Inc., a Venice, CA-based non-profit organization offering a live-in, 12-Step program of rehabilitation for women in need. Cathy Downs (March 3, 1924 – December 8, 1976) was an American film actress. Today, Jamie Lee Curtis also takes time to support various philanthropic groups. In time for the Holiday Season of 2004, Curtis starred opposite Tim Allen in Christmas with the Kranks..

The movie was filmed at Palisades High School in Pacific Palisades, CA., nearby where Curtis and Guest make their home with their children. Recent successful film roles for Curtis have included Disney's Freaky Friday (2003), opposite Lindsay Lohan. Curtis and Guest have two adopted children, Annie and Thomas. She married the actor Christopher Guest in 1984, and became known as Lady Haden-Guest when her husband inherited the title of Baron Haden-Guest in 1996.
