In the interview with AARP, the star said that she feels safe wherever her husband is. She said, “That’s the long marriage. It’s the safety of knowing his car is in the garage, that I’m not alone.”
The star once shared how she and Guest became acquainted, recalling seeing his picture in the 1984 Rolling Stone issue. Curtis wrote in a 2004 essay saying, “I looked at the man on the right wearing a plaid shirt and a waggish smirk. I’d never seen him before, but I pointed at him. ‘I’m going to marry that man.’ I said to my friend. The next day I called his agent, gave him my number, and told him to have Chris call me if he was interested.”
Guest is known for his roles in This Is Spinal Tap, Saturday Night Live, The Joe Franklin Show, The Princess Bride, and The Little Shop of Horrors. He also wrote and produced the HBO series Family Tree and directed Mascots.
