The wrong people keep dying.
SHIT...I had the absolute pleasure of meeting her a few years ago when she was visiting Syracuse University. She stayed at the Hotel I was working. Even though I ran the Accounting Office, I had to sub for a Night Auditor and she came down at 2am...I made coffee and we talked.
She was such a cute little yuppie in trading places.
Sending love and light to #Jamieleecurtis and the Curtis family during this time of loss. May #KellyCurtis' memory be a blessing to all who love her. 🕊️💙🕯️
RIP to Kelly Lee... Her mother Janet helped make the stacatto minor grouping Eb - E - F - Gb on the violin nicknamed the "Hitchcock Chord" in Psycho's shower scene. L-R, Kelly Lee, Janet Leigh, and Jamie Lee
