What's up? This is entertainment and celebrity news today, bringing you the hottest stories right now.
Jamie Lee Curtis got emotional sharing the story of her first meeting with Nicole Kidman at the Oscars.
The moment still brings tears to her eyes years later.
Now the two are co-stars in the new Prime video series, Scarpetta, based on Patricia Cornwell's popular books.
This encounter happened at the 2022 Academy Awards during COVID when seating was at small cafe tables.
Curtis was waiting with her publicist just before the show started. Kidman suddenly appeared behind her chair. Kidman shared that she truly sees Curtis's talent, admires her approach, and wants her to keep it up. Curtis was floored, especially since Kidman was a nominee that night. The praise came out of nowhere and left the lasting impact. Curtis had planned to only produce Garpeta at first, avoiding the long hours of a drama series. But when Kidman showed interest and asked her to join, Curtis quickly agreed to,
act alongside her. In the show, Kidman plays medical examiner K. Scarpetta with Curtis as her sister Dorothy.
Both lost their father to murder, but Kay studies death to prevent it while Dorothy embraces life
boldly. Scarpetta is streaming now on Prime Video. The Daily News Now is grateful to our sponsor
