2. After that, she got her teeth fixed.
When Jamie Lee was 21, about a year after Halloween, she had her teeth capped. Before then, she recalled, her teeth had been discolored because of the antibiotic tetracycline her mother took during her pregnancy. Because of that, she learned to smile with her mouth closed, and even after the dental work was done, she found it tough to let her teeth show. [My] smirk serves as a bit of a mask, she once said. I always thought I was this little pipsqueak with gray teeth, an odd voice and no discernible talent.

3. Her marriage happened by chance, she thinks.
Jamie Lees marriage to British filmmaker Christopher Guest, on Dec. 18, 1984, might never have happened except for a lucky meeting in a restaurant. The two, who barely knew each other, waved politely as they sat at different tables. He called me the next day, Jamie Lee said. We got married four months later. I often wonder what would have happened if we hadnt met in that restaurant.

4. Getting sober is one of her biggest accomplishments.
Jamie Lees addiction to alcohol and prescription painkillers took everyone around her by surprise. None of it was ever public, she told Readers Digest. Nobody in my family knew. I would anesthetize myself on a daily basis. She got sober in 1999 and has remained that way. Getting sober just exploded my life, she said. I am more successful than Ive ever been. I feel very positive.

5. Her books say more about her than her acting does.
Since 1993, Jamie Lee has written ten childrens books with noted illustrator Laura Cornell, beginning with When I Was Little: A Four-Year-Olds Memoir of Her Youth. Several have become bestsellers. Ultimately, it turns out to be my true voice that I found, Jamie Lee said. Being an actor, you are recognized for being somebody else, whereas these books are distilled from me.

6. She wont wear sexy clothes.
Im very chaste, shes said, for someone who dances around in her underwear in movies. I go to the edge of the pool in a sarong and shirt and I take them off and I swim. I wear dark clothing and long sleeved shirts and skirts to my knee. Its about an appropriateness and an inappropriateness, and Im sure we all know what that line is.

7. But she did bare a lot for a magazine.
In 2002, Jamie Lee stripped down to her underwear for More magazine, to show women her age that she wasnt perfect and that they shouldnt pursue the fantasy of movie-star perfection. In addition, she had no makeup or hairstyling or touch-ups. I don't have great thighs, I have big breasts and a soft fatty little tummy, she said. I don't want the unsuspecting 40-year-old to think I've got it going on. It's such a fraud and I'm perpetuating it." She also said she had undergone Botox treatments and cosmetic surgery but added, None of it works.

8. She kept a tight rein on what her kids can see and listen to.
Daughter Annie is 23 now, but while she was growing up, Jamie Lee didnt let her listen to Eminem, and the same presumably holds true for her younger child, Tommy, 14. Jamie Lees also regulated Internet use in her houseand shes banned horror movies. Absolutely not, she said about her kids watching fright fests.

9. She had a lot to say after her father, Tony Curtis, died this year.
Appearing on the show The Talk a few weeks after Curtis died of a heart attack in September, Jamie Lee said, He was not a father, and he was not interested in being a fatherHe did what he was supposed to do from a financial standpoint, which was honorable, but he was not an involved father. Jamie Lee grew up with her mother, Janet Leigh, and Janets fourth husband, Robert Brandt. When Janet died in 2004, both Jamie Lee and Brandt were at her bedside.

10. Shes happy with the life shes made.
During a daylong event last month that combined a few Q&A sessions with interviewers, marathon signings of her newest childrens book (My Mommy Hung The Moon: A Love Story) and a mini film festival, Jamie Lee talked to her audience about being the child of Hollywood royalty. I've spent a long time trying to own my own life, she said, even though everyone would say that I have the life I have because of my parents. And the truth is: I have the life I have because of my parents. And I made my own life."
