Actress Kelly Curtis died Saturday morning at her home. She was 69 years old.<\/p>

Curtis\u2019 death was confirmed by her sister, Jamie Lee Curtis, in a social media post in which she paid tribute to her “first friend and lifelong confidant.”\u00a0<\/p>

What they’re saying:<\/p>

<\/div>

“She was jaw droppingly beautiful, and a talented actress. She played a mean game of hearts, collected turtles, loved her family, nature, music, thrifting, travel, Facebook, and Pok\u00e9mon Go,” Curtis wrote\u00a0in her post<\/u>. “She was proud of her Danish roots and Hungarian Jewish ancestry and was a devoted American patriot.”<\/p>

The backstory:<\/p>

Born in 1956, Kelly Curtis was the eldest of Hollywood stars Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh\u2019s two daughters.\u00a0<\/p>

Curtis\u2019 first major film role was alongside Jamie Lee Curtis in the 1983 movie “Trading Places,” and she went on to star in 1987\u2019s “Magic Sticks” and 1991\u2019s “The Sect,” according to her\u00a0IMDB credits<\/u>.<\/p>

She also played Carolyn Plummer in the UPN series “The Sentinel” and made appearances in episodes of Judging Amy, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Hunter.<\/p>

What they’re saying:<\/p>

For her younger sister, though, Curtis\u2019 acting will not be the only way people will remember her:<\/p>

“She will be remembered for her loving generosity, fierce opinions, endless curiosity, unique style, and her powdered, almond, crescent cookies at Christmas, hence her name, Auntie Cookie.”<\/p>
