The 57-year-old actress - who joined forces with the 61-year-old film
director on the 1994 action thriller 'True Lies' - has admitted the
creative mastermind is a "very talented man", although his skills lie
off camera, as she has revealed he can't act or dance.
Speaking about the Canadian screenwriter to Variety.com, Jamie said: "I will tell you this: Jim Cameron is a very talented man.
"He can do every job on a movie better than any crew person ever could
do. There's one thing that he cannot do, and that's act and dance."
Meanwhile, the 'Freaky Friday' star - who found fame in 'Halloween' when
she was 19 - thinks Hollywood is "a very cruel business".
Speaking previously, she said: "It's a very cruel business. It's
humiliating to see the media frenzy that occurs when somebody gets older
and they don't look the way they used to look. I want to make sure I
leave on my own terms. I don't want to be punished for the natural
evolution of the human being."
And Jamie has never embraced being a celebrity like her late father Tony Curtis.
She explained: "He used to walk into a restaurant and preen and pose.
The public attention was very important; I don't need it. I'm
recognisable, sure. But I have a quiet life."
And the actress claims she thought her career was winding down when Ryan Murphy offered her a starring role in 'Scream Queens'.
She added: "I'm comfortable stepping away from Hollywood when I need
too. I was just hanging out with my posse of menopause mamas. He offered
me the role, and it sounded crazy and amazing. I left our meeting
going, 'Wow.' "
