Kelly died on Saturday. «In her home. In the middle of nature. Peaceful,” Curtis wrote. She did not provide any information about the reasons.
The daughter of Hollywood stars Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh was two years older than her sister Jamie Lee. While Jamie Lee Curtis became a global star, Kelly led a much more private life. “She will be remembered for her loving generosity, strong opinions, endless curiosity, unique style and her powdered sugar-dusted almond crescent cookies at Christmas,” Curtis wrote on Instagram.
