Another of the countless celebs I have photographed wins an Oscar. Any fans here in UHH of Jamie Lee Curtis?
Last night in Los Angeles, veteran actress Jamie Lee Curtis won her first Oscar Award. The daughter of screen legends Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, the versatile Jamie Lee Curtis has played both serious dramatic roles and comedy roles. All the great nominees in that Oscar category deserved to win, but Jamie was long overdue too. Here is a shot I made for Newsweek Magazine back in 1983 of Jamie Lee Curtis with her co-stars Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd on one of their Philadelphia locations with Independence Hall in the background, while making the movie Trading Places, which is still a comedy classic. Way to go Jamie Lee Curtis.. BTW both Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd have been Oscar Nominees themselves in their long acting careers.
I have had the pleasure of photographing many Oscar, Emmy, Tony, Screen Actors Guild, Golden Globe and Grammy winners over my career, and Royalty, Presidents and other World Leaders and five Nobel Peace Prize Winners among too many to list over five decades.
I am also a fan of them, so it was fun as well as work. LOL
We photojournalists have the best jobs in the world at times when we are not dodging bullets in a war or on the streets, or covering tragic disasters. Been there, done all that too.
Cheers and best to you all.
