I'm delighted to see Jamie Lee Curtis in the main cover slot this morning and yes, I had her, along with Meghan and Jackie, on the guessing game list. (I'm a little surprised the Karlie Kloss/Joshua Kushner wedding didn't make it to the cover.) It's rare for People to spotlight 50-something (or older) women, and when they do, they usually use either a picture from decades ago (see Aretha Franklin's tribute cover here,) or some serious photoshopping. This time, as demonstrated by comparing the picture below, which I cut-and-pasted from People.com's home page, with the picture featured on the magazine cover, above, it's photoshopping.
The headline doesn't make clear that Curtis's addiction issue was from decades ago and in fact she's now been sober for nearly 20 years. It also doesn't mention that her new movie, Halloween, had a $77.5 million domestic opening week-end, the biggest ever for a movie starring a woman over the age of 55. (It is mentioned in the teaser article, read it here.)
Curtis was featured once before, in August 1994:
Issue dated August 22, 1994
Last year at this time: Issue dated November 6, 2017
