"My daughter, years ago, she went to go get her ears pierced and she got cold feet. And in a moment of haste, I was like, 'If I do it, will you do it?' And she's like, 'Yes!'"
"It's why you love what you do. It's why you said to your daughter, 'You know what, if I get it, will you get it?' And you did."
"And I love that these people didn't make you say, 'Well, you know, I have an earring.' I'm not joking! I'm glad that you were able to say, 'This is important to me. This is my daughter, my connection to my daughter',"
Jamie Lee Curtis became visibly moved when Craig Melvin revealed the blue earring in his left ear represented a moment he shared with his nine-year-old daughter, Sybil. Years earlier Sybil hesitated to get her ears pierced, and Melvin offered to get his ear pierced if she would follow through, which prompted her agreement. The earring remains a keepsake of that connection. After a conversation about Curtis's projects and a video from Susan Powter thanking Curtis, Curtis praised Melvin for honoring the gesture and for prioritizing the personal meaning of the earring over others' judgments.
