Jamie Lee Curtis wrote a painkiller addiction letter to her sister
Jamie Lee Curtis confessed to stealing her sister’s painkillers in a letter she never sent.
The Trading Places star has revealed the contents of the heartfelt letter in a new More magazine article.
She says, “The first line is, `I’ve been harboring a secret, a bad secret for the length of your stay. I have found and taken many of your Percocet and Vicodin.’”
Curtis reveals her sister Kelly was prescribed painkillers for a broken bone – and the letter spurred on the actress’ attempts to get help for her addiction.
She wrote, “I’ve betrayed you, and I know that you’re angry, and you have every right to be… I am lonely. I take them at night at home to ease the pain. I was so afraid to tell you.”
The actress admits the letter has “been on my desk for 10 years”.

Sorry, can’t feel sorry for her. I recently heard her make a comment about “smokers”. They should not be given any health care if they become ill, since smoking is an addiction and that smokers have a choice. Well, lets see, I believe she had an addiction als, Im sure she was helped somehow in the medical community. How dare you say such a thing Jamie Lee, you should be ashamed!
