Overview
- Kelly Lee Curtis died at age 69 on Saturday, May 30, and the Blaine County coroner confirmed her cause of death as natural causes after a week in hospice care.
- Jamie Lee Curtis has shared public tributes calling Kelly her “first friend and lifelong confidant” and posted photos from a 2012 trip they took to trace their family roots in Hungary and Denmark.
- Local funeral-home and obituary notices remember Kelly for her Hungarian blessing sign-off, her love of travel and collecting, and note plans reported by some sources for cremation and private arrangements.
- Kelly had a long but low-profile acting career with credits that include a small role in Trading Places, the German comedy Magic Sticks, the Italian horror film The Devil’s Daughter, and TV appearances such as Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and The Sentinel.
- Some reports list filmmaker John Marsh as Kelly’s husband while others name a different partner, and several timing and disposition details remain unevenly corroborated across outlets so follow-up reporting may clarify those points.
