I wish Jamie Lee Curtis had made more good comedies

[DerekG]

Curtis was one of the few modern actresses who displayed complete mastery of her comic roles; in the handful of great comedies (Trading Places, A Fish Called Wanda, True Lies), she not only held her own against her male costars, but outmatched them. Even in less-than-stellar entries like My Girl and Freaky Friday, she left indelible impressions.

So why didn't this genius make more good comedies? It's a bloody crime.

1. Well, she is holding her own in the Activa commercials. n/t

2. Maybe she wanted to be considered a serious actress?

or, maybe some of her other role choices weren't so good?

3. I tried Activia because of her commercials.

I love it, especially the prune flavor. And yes, I wish she had made more good comedies too. Among other things, she's very likeable. (Hence, my Activia experience.)

4. Wanda can't be matched by anybody. n/t
