Oscar winning-star Jamie Lee Curtis says she has never been worried about "looking pretty" on the big screen. Lee Curtis told Empire magazine: "Looking pretty in the movies was never my thing. It's just not who I am; it's just not been my currency. Whether you thought I was pretty or not, it wasn't like I felt like I was a great beauty and that the camera would love me. "Lately I've been able to become characters which have freed my from any vanity, which then frees me as an artist - because then it doesn't matter, because then I'm just doing the work. And I've always wanted to do that work."

The actress plays the character of former showgirl Annette in 'The Last Showgirl' and said that she had a clear picture in her mind of what she wanted her alter ego to look like in the flick - which also stars Pamela Anderson, reports femalefirst.co.uk. She explained: "I wanted her to look like someone who's been in the sun every day of her life for the past 40 years. I knew I wanted her to be a bottle redhead; I wanted it to look like it wasn't a good dye job. (IANS)
