Actually, the books were never a planned career path.
From Jamie Lee Curtis
All the work built my fame and certainly made me more money, but the toll it took in my home was not good.
Because I know I'm an addict, and I know I'm an alcoholic.
I think I felt that I was very well known for my figure and needed to keep that up for my work. And I regret all of it. I felt fraudulent and very shameful.
I try to go to the gym three times a week. And I have to watch what I eat. I'm a normal person.
I was doing a children's book on self-esteem, and I really felt like I wanted to shed the shame I'd been feeling - and maybe make it easier for women my age who had probably felt bad about themselves.
I've been happily married to Chris for almost 20 years.
I've been in showbusiness all my life, but as an actress I have never been overly driven.
My deal was that they would use a full-length picture of me in my underwear and a full-length picture of me all done up, and they would write about how long it took and how much it cost, because that was the whole point. It was very liberating.
My marriage? Up to now everything's okay. But it's a real marriage - imperfect and very difficult. It's all about people evolving somewhat simultaneously through their lives. I think we've emotionally evolved.
