Jamie Lee Curtis on how "Columbo" Changed her Life
by Antonia Blyth

I was an accidental actor. I was never going to be an actor, I was going to be a cop. I had three lines on an episode of "Columbo" as a grumpy waitress.
Columbo comes into a restaurant with his coat all askew and his hair all crazy, and he’s holding a donut. The waitress says, “You can’t eat that here.” And he says, “OK,” and hands her the donut. She says, “Have you decided yet?” And he goes, “Yes, I’ll have a donut.”
A month later, I’m walking down the street, and somebody says, “Hey, I saw you on The Tonight Show.” Peter Falk had brought that clip on the show. So, my second ever job in showbusiness, I was on "The Tonight Show".
