Jamie Lee Curtis

Jamie Lee Curtis talks about the privileges we have in America such as the ability to work, and how we must stop saying "I can't do it", and realize we are "unwilling to do it". She then speaks about her latest childrens book.

Jamie Lee Curtis is an award winning actress and critically-acclaimed and best-selling author of seven books. All of Curtis's picture books have been illustrated by the acclaimed artist, Laura Cornell.

"Look at me, look at my career!" Really?? Come on Jamie, you were born into Hollywood Royalty. How hard do you think she had to "WORK" to become an actress and land those money-generating roles? I think Janet Leigh or Mr. Curtis picked up the phone and made a few phone calls. Many of these Hollywood scions have no idea how the little folk struggle and how difficult it is to work in this current economy and pay bills. It's a privilege to have a job but not one that pays 7.50 an hour.
