Jamie wrote of her only full sibling: \u201cShe was jaw droppingly beautiful, and a talented actress.

\u201cShe 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,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n
Journalist Chris Connelly commented on the post with his own memories of Kelly.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe joined our high school class senior year, and it was as if she\u2019d stepped off a meteorite,\u201d he recalled. \u201cWalked in beauty, like the night. Quoted lyrics from Tumbleweed Connection on her senior page in our yearbook. Into our NYC world, she was the coolest breeze of fresh air \u2026 and always to be remembered.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jamie later shared never-before-seen photos of her and Kelly<\/a> on Instagram, which were taken when Kelly slept over the night before Jamie married husband Christopher Guest in December 1984.<\/p>\n\u201cMy sister and I were close as children but also had that sibling competition for divorced parent\u2019s attention and love and we were wildly different and lived apart for many years, but she came back to be with me at my wedding and never really left again,\u201d she shared.<\/p>\n
\u201cI miss her today but am buoyed by the knowledge that she is at peace,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jamie Lee Curtis\u2019 sister, Kelly Lee Curtis, died of natural causes, Page Six can confirm.
