Jamie Lee Curtis explains why she makes everyone on her movie sets wear name tags

Jamie Lee Curtis has explained why one of her “demands” when shooting a new movie is that everyone including the film crew wears a name tag.

The Oscar-winning actress, 65, has been in the game a long time and also grew up in the industry as the daughter of horror icon Janet Leigh and actor Tony Curtis. She has always abided by the rules of leaving the egos at home and treating people how you wish to be treated yourself.

That includes greeting people and addressing them by their names.

Appearing on Kevin Hart’s Gold Minds podcast on SiriusXM ’s Laugh Out Loud Radio, the Halloween star explained: “There’s something really uneven about our position on a set, on a movie, in this arena. You guys know our names, we don’t know yours. There’s something inequitable to me about that.

“On a movie set, if we were all working together, we would all be wearing name tags so that tomorrow when we came in, I would be able to then say ‘good morning [Sabine]’ without even… [a] thought because I’ve learned her name. I just want it to be equitable because it’s an important thing. It’s art – there isn’t hierarchy in art. It’s supposed to be a group of people.”

Elsewhere in the chat, Curtis told Hart - who she stars alongside in new science fiction-action comedy Borderlands - that she has no intentions to ever retire and vowed to “create until I die”.

She said: “The tragedy of my death will be any creativity left in my head that I haven't brought out… if I don’t bring out those ideas, that’s the tragedy.

“Of course, anybody’s death is sad… but the real tragedy is the creativity, if you’re a creative person, the tragedy is the creativity that dies with you if you don’t let it out,” she continued.

“And so, for me, I wake up turned on by creativity every day. I am turned on. I’m now getting the opportunity, because I’ve worked for a long time, and now I’m owning it, and now all of a sudden I’m a boss, I’m a b***h boss and I like it…. I will create until I die.

“I will not end being one of those people who just drifts away. I’m gonna create until I die because that is what turns me on every day.”
