The critically acclaimed and beloved film, “Freaky Friday,” made its debut in 2003 and was produced by Disney.

Jamie Lee Curtis, who was already an established star in 2003, played the role of Tess, the busy and overwhelmed mother. Curtis had begun her acting journey by appearing on shows like NBC’s “Quincy M.E.” and ABC’s “Operation Petticoat” before her breakout role in the iconic 1978 film “Halloween.” She went on to star in subsequent sequels of the “Halloween” franchise and made memorable appearances in films like “Trading Places,” “A Fish Called Wanda,” and “My Girl.” Curtis remains a prominent A-list actress, particularly known for her work in the “Halloween” series.
