“[It was taken] the next day, when they realize suddenly they’re getting all these offers to do films, their value goes from $100,000 to $10 million, and they’re just sort of stunned,” he said. “I wanted to capture that, so I told her my idea, and she was sport enough to do it early in the morning at the Beverly Hills Hotel. She got up at 6 a.m., and we got that great picture. It’s become one of the most Hollywood pictures of all time.”

“To all of the people who have supported the genre movies I have made all these years, the thousands and hundreds of thousands of people, we just won an Oscar together,” Curtis added.
“And my mother and my father were both nominated for Oscars in different categories,” she said of her parentsJanet LeighandTony Curtis. “I just won an Oscar.”
In February, theHalloweenEndsstar revealed to PEOPLE that sheplanned on bringing special itemswith her to the ceremony to give out to her fellow nominees. “I often like to bring all of the nominees in my category a gold shiny ball, which I hand out to everybody, so that [if] you lose — ‘cause one out of five is gonna win, four out of five are gonna go home empty-handed — you’re not going home empty-handed,” Curtis said.
“So I have a bag filled with gold round things for all of my people and all of my friends who are nominated and I hadn’t thought about myself, and now I have. What a beautiful thing to remind me to bring. And I will,” she added.
