Jamie Lee Curtis Plans Holiday Digital Detox, Backs Youth Social-Media Limits, Signals Retirement on Her Terms

She outlined the plans at the Dec. 9 Ella McCay premiere ahead of the film’s Dec. 12 release.

Overview

  • At the Los Angeles premiere, the 67-year-old Oscar winner said she will take a long break from the internet and social platforms over the holiday period.
  • Curtis said she uses social media largely for professional purposes and to boost others’ work, adding she will pause that activity at year’s end.
  • She praised countries restricting children’s access to social networks, voicing full support for Australia’s new under-16 ban and citing a desire to practice what she preaches.
  • In a separate People interview, Curtis reaffirmed she intends to retire in the future by stepping away before offers stop, describing that choice as self-directed.
  • She said her outlook on retiring was shaped by watching her parents, Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis, see opportunities fade with age as she now promotes Ella McCay opening Dec. 12.
