Jamie Lee Curtis assumed Ana de Armas was ‘unsophisticated and had just arrived from Cuba’ | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV
By the time Ana de Armas, 34, showed up on set for the first day of filming on Rian Johnson’s “Knives Out,” she already had films such as “Blade Runner 2049,” “War Dogs” and “Knock Knock” under her belt. However, the Bond Girl’s “Knives Out” co-star Jamie Lee Curtis, 63, apparently had not seen any of those.
Jamie Lee told Elle magazine as part of de Armas’ new cover story that she wrongly assumed de Armas had just arrived from Cuba and was new in Hollywood when the two met on the “Knives Out” set.
“I assumed—and I say this with real embarrassment—because she had come from Cuba, that she had just arrived,” she said.
“I made an assumption that she was an inexperienced, unsophisticated young woman. That first day, I was like, ‘Oh, what are your dreams?’”
She made sure to note that the reason she asked about Ana’s “dreams” was that the younger actress had wowed her with her performance in Knives Out.

Fans of Ana are now eagerly awaiting her performance as Marilyn Monroe in the upcoming Netflix biopic Blonde, based on a novel by Joyce Carol Oates.
The movie set social media ablaze when news broke that it had been given an infamously rare NC-17 rating.
Jamie Lee’s father played opposite Marilyn in the iconic Billy Wilder comedy Some Like It Hot.
The legendary actress continued to sing Ana’s praises.
