Jamie Lee Curtis Slams 'Genocide' of Plastic Surgery

Jamie Curtis has some seriously strong words about the prevalence of plastic surgery in an interview with the Guardian:

• "I've been very vocal about the genocide of a generation of women by the cosmeceutical industrial complex, who've disfigured themselves."
• And, yes, "genocide" is a carefully chosen word. "I believe that we have wiped out a generation or two of natural human [appearance]," she says. "The concept that you can alter the way you look through chemicals, surgical procedures, fillers—there's a disfigurement of generations of predominantly women who are altering their appearances."

• The 66-year-old Curtis (who is now an Oscar winner) has spoken of her regret of having a procedure in her 20s when a movie producer said she had baggy eyes, per USA Today. Today, she favors the all-natural look, and that includes eschewing hair dye.
• For the interview to plug her new film Freakier Friday, Curtis wore wax lips in the accompanying photo shoot to amplify her point on cosmetic procedures. (Read the full interview.)
