Jamie Lee Curtis: “It is a great treasure for me to be of Hungarian descent”
Change language:
The actress learned a few words in Hungarian and fell in love with Budapest, like many others before.
As we reported back in April, Jamie Lee Curtis has been in Budapest for some time now. The daughter of Hungarian-born Tony Curtis commemorated her ancestors with an Instagram photo of a Hungarian flag, and posted a picture of the Castle, most likely from her hotel room on the Danube.
After she has been in Hungary for months for filming, she gave an exclusive interview to Focus. This is the first time she has appeared in public, according to szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu. She also travelled to Mátészalka – where her grandparents, who were Jewish emigrants, come from.
Her father, the world-famous actor Tony Curtis, who passed away 11 years ago, was also proud of his Hungarian origins, and he even visited Mátészalka several times. Now an exhibition named after him has opened in the city of Szabolcs, and a café is now named after the actor giant.
“It’s very touching to be in Hungary. From the moment I arrived, I met a lot of people who look like me, or my brothers or sisters.”
– she said, adding that “the days are beautiful here“, but the coronavirus has left its mark on her stay here, which has prevented her from adequately exploring Budapest and the country.
Curtis belongs to the far left in the US and not in Hungary. Hungary does not need another raging leftist liberal.
I wish we could leave the Politics in the Politics articles section. Im reading this in society and Jamies Dad, Tony did a big plus for Hungarians and the Budapest synagogue. Id like to remember the family for that..
Leftwing liberal Commie . We have had enugh of your ideology thank you very much , now go away.
(I have more Hungarian in me and I’m English!!)
Amen
Judging by two of the comments here, Miss Curtis is speaking to the wrong audience. She would be quite upset at how some Hungarians seem to dislike her just because of her political views. I wonder what the same Hungarians think of her father, whether they dislike him too since he also was a Democrat.
She’s a left wing commie peice if shite. Go back to Hollyweird!
Hateful comments = hateful hearts and minds. A poor reflection on Hungarian people.
