10 Giant Movie Myths (And The Truth Behind Them)

8. The Gender Conspiracy Concerning Jamie Lee Curtis

The Myth: The myth-in-question follows that Jamie Lee Curtis was actually born with both male and female genitals, making her a hermaphrodite. Nobody is really sure where the myth originated from, but many cite that Curtis' unisex forename and adopted children both prove that, she is in fact, technically both male and female. What's even more bizarre is that various university professors have taken the myth as fact to provide an example of intersexuality. The Truth: There's not even the slightest bit of evidence (other than pure, incidental conjecture) that the myth is true. There is no definitive answer though, as even Curtis herself has remained tight-lipped on the subject. You could take this as her reluctance to state that the claims are true, but it's far more likely that Curtis either doesn't care what people think or has no interest in proving her gender to random strangers. Whatever the case may be, who really cares?
