Social networks serve to witness emotional reunions, such as the one a few days ago starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Arnold Schwarzenegger. The winner of the Oscar for best supporting actress for All at once went to a charity party and met the actor. Jamie Lee Curtis uploaded the photo to Instagram, where in a short time it got hundreds of thousands of likes.
Next year will be 30 years since the release of Mentiras arriesgadas (True lies). The film directed by James Cameron was released on July 15, 1994 in the United States and reached Spanish screens on September 2. The film was a real success for the combination of action and comedy cinema and left memorable scenes, such as the chase on a bridge in Florida and the striptease of Lee Curtis.
But above all that, the chemistry of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis as a couple stood out. 30 years ago, the Austrian-born actor was a star of action and science fiction films with titles such as Terminator or Robocop, but he wanted to change register and play a character like James Bond. For her part, the daughter of Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh was the scream queen for Halloween and its sequels. But he had also recently succeeded with the comedy A Fish Called Wanda. The producers wanted Jodie Foster, but Cameron fought for Jamie Lee Curtis, who won the Golden Globe for best supporting actress.
The meeting of the two actors today was for a good cause: to help the oenagé After-School All-Stars, dedicated to children without resources. It was in California, although it could look like Germany, since it was set in Oktoberfest, the beer festival. The actress wore the typical Bavarian dress and the actor wore only shorts and long socks.
It is not the first time, in these almost 30 years, that these two actors have met in public. A year ago Lee Curtis left her mark at the Chinese theater in Hollywood and was accompanied by her great friend Melanie Griffith and by Schwarzenegger himself. “There’s one thing that bothers me, and that’s people saying that [Curtis] was a supporting actress in Risky Lies. And she wasn’t a secondary: she was the female protagonist.” And the actress replied that she has always wanted to work with him again.
Mentiras arriesgadas is about a spy who makes his family believe he is a computer salesman. His wife, tired of their boring life, begins an affair with a car salesman, even though she thinks he is a spy. The husband discovers the deception and tries to give his wife some excitement.
