Jamie Lee Curtis Reveals Why She Insists on Name Tags for Movie Crews

Jamie Lee Curtis provides insights into her work process.

Jamie Lee Curtis recently revealed why she prefers her movie crew to wear nametags.

On the newest episode of Kevin Hart’s Gold Minds podcast on August 8, the Freaky Friday star stated, “There’s something uneven about our position on a set, on a movie, in this arena.”
“You guys know our names; we don’t know yours. There’s something inequitable to me about that,” the 65-year-old said.

Jamie told the outlet: “On a movie set if we were all working together, we would all be wearing name tags so that tomorrow when we came in, I would be able to then say, ‘Good morning, Sabine,’ without even a thought because I’ve learned her name.”

During the conversation, the Halloween star also discussed being “equitable” on set.

“It’s an important thing,” said the Oscar winner.

Jamie explained, “It’s art; there isn’t hierarchy in art. It’s supposed to be a group of people. We can’t do our jobs without the crew.”

The actress from Knives Out continued: “All of those people conspire with you to make a show that’s called ‘Gold Minds,’ which is your name there but you can’t do the show without all those people.”

Jamie went on: “I believe that is the gorgeousness of the collaborative art form.”
