Jamie Lee Curtis Has Never Watched ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,’ But Knows Her Wind Chimes Have Become a Meme
Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor Jamie Lee Curtis has never watched an episode of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” — not even the one she was on. Curtis’ viral appearance during last year’s 12th season, which featured many of the cast members, particularly Dorit Kemsley, fangirling over the “Halloween” star? Nope, not for Curtis. “I’ve never seen the show,” she tells Variety during an interview for the Awards Circuit Podcast to discuss her first Oscar nomination for her performance in “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” “I didn’t even see my entire episode. I just saw the meme. The meme that kept on ‘meme-ing.’ It became a meme forever.” Curtis is referring to the many memes that took social media by storm last summer, after Kemsley fawned over the “Halloween” star during a luncheon fundraiser for Curtis’ charity, My Hand in Yours, held by “Beverly Hills” castmate Kyle Richards. Kemsley reacting to gray tumblers and “the chicest wind chime” she’s ever seen produced some of the best 70 seconds in “Real Housewives” history.
