As per a recent article by US Weekly, acclaimed actress Jamie Lee Curtis has been preparing to leave Hollywood for quite a long time now.

“I witnessed my parents lose the very thing that gave them their fame and their life and their livelihood, when the industry rejected them at a certain age. I watched them reach incredible success and then have it slowly erode to where it was gone, and that’s very painful," Curtis mentioned to The Guardian in an interview published on July 26.

As per Celebrity Net Worth, Jamie Lee Curtis has a total net worth of around 60 million USD. Though, this is her net worth combined with her husband for many decades, Christopher Guest.

Curtis acknowledged that she had been quietly "self-retiring for 30 years" due to her parents' challenging experience in a field known for ageism.

“I have been prepping to get out, so that I don’t have to suffer the same as my family did. I want to leave the party before I’m no longer invited,” Jamie Lee Curtis added

Jamie Lee Curtis has been vocal about the issue of ageism in Hollywood and has spoken about the topic on various occasions.

The actress earned an Academy Award in the Best Supporting Actress category for portraying the character of Deirdre Beaubeirdre in the film Everything Everywhere All At Once.

Curtis expressed her thoughts on society's lasting ageism, saying:

“In the world, there is an industry — a billion-dollar, trillion-dollar industry — about hiding things. Concealers. Body-shapers. Fillers. Procedures. Clothing. Hair accessories. Hair products. Everything to conceal the reality of who we are. And my instruction to everybody was: I want there to be no concealing of anything. I’ve been sucking my stomach in since I was 11, when you start being conscious of boys and bodies, and the jeans are super tight. I very specifically decided to relinquish and release every muscle I had that I used to clench and hide the reality. That was my goal. I have never felt more free creatively or physically,” Curtis wrote on her Instagram
