Jamie Lee Curtis kept busy in offbeat and interesting if little-seen fare like Amazing Grace And Chuck (1987) and Dominick And Eugene (1988) before comedy turned her career around again with her seductive con in A Fish Called Wanda (1988). She also had a respected and enjoyable sitcom duet with Richard Lewis, Anything But Love (1989-92), which never got great ratings but kept rebounding on ABC's lineup for several seasons.
Approaching her mid-thirties, Curtis gamely tried on bland-but-likable young mother and supportive girlfriend roles in My Girl (1991) and Forever Young (1992). Her 1994 work seemed to sum up her career to date with a turn in the deliberately over-the-top Mother's Boys (1994), which bizarrely revisited her horror roots, while True Lies gave Curtis-rather surprisingly amid all the action pyrotechnics-a highly enjoyable showcase that encompassed her scream queen, pinup, comedienne and mother roles. Married to actor-director-writer Christopher Guest. |
