Jamie Lee Curtis Advocates for Name Tags on Sets

Jamie Lee Curtis has advocated for equality on film sets by asking crew members to wear name tags, which she believes helps break down hierarchical barriers between cast and crew. In a recent appearance on Kevin Hart's podcast, Curtis expressed discomfort with the fact that crew members often know the names of famous actors, but the actors do not know the names of the crew, calling this inequitable. She emphasized that art should foster collaboration and respect among all individuals involved in the production. Curtis recalled a poignant moment during the filming of Halloween Kills, where the crew wore name tags saying, 'We are Laurie Strode,' in support of her character. She is currently reprising her role in the Freaky Friday sequel alongside Lindsay Lohan, 21 years after the original film. Curtis's efforts reflect her broader commitment to equity and inclusion in the film industry.
