Jamie Lee Curtis has opened up about about her addiction to
painkillers as she battled to stay young nearly 10 years after the
fact.
Now 49, Jamie told More magazine she became hooked on
painkillers following cosmetic surgery on her eyes when she was
35.
Curtis said of hiding her dependency from her family “no one
knew,” including husband Christopher Guest. The actress
abused drugs to get high and to combat “loneliness,” she says,
and drank heavily at times for years.
Curtis says her addiction was so bad that she even stole pills
from her sister, who, at the time, was recovering at the actress’
house from a broken bone.
Curtis blames her dependency issues on the pressure she felt to
stay young and thereby viable as an actress in Hollywood:
“I attempted various types of plastic surgery, minutely but enough
to stave off this encroaching middle-aged body. And every time I
did, something went wrong. I felt misshapen, just not natural any
more. I think it was a big stimulator of my drug abuse.”
Curtis says she finally kicked the habit nine years ago after
worrying how her addiction would affect her daughter, Annie.
Curtis in her day was known as The Body - hers having been on
display in 1983’s Trading Places and 1985’s Perfect. But now she
has left her quest for perfection behind and as part of her
recovery, she let her hair go grey and stopped wearing high heels.
Curtis now works as a volunteer on anti-drug campaigns.
