Jamie Lee Curtis just knew she would be in "The Bear", long before she got the part of Donna Berzatto, the alcoholic, unstable mother of the restauranteur siblings at the show’s center.
While watching Season 1, Curtis had an eerie feeling. “I went, ‘I’m going to play her.’ I swear,” she says. And then she got the call. “My agent said, ‘You’ve been offered a part on The Bear.’”
Curtis called the show’s creator, Christopher Storer. “I said, ‘What do you want her hair to look like?’ He sent me a picture of Monica Vitti. I said, ‘What do you want her nails to look like?’ He sent me a picture of the Desperate Housewives of New York.”
