Jamie Lee Curtis shared a fond memory of Sinead O’Connor
Jamie Lee Curtis has spoken out about Sinead O’Connor.
Sinead, 56, died yesterday.
The reasons are not yet clear.
NOTHING COMPARES TO YOU @SINEAD., Curtis wrote.
I came home and have been listening to Sinéad’s music. Feels so different. Three Babies. The Last Day Of Our Acquaintance. Red Football. In This Heart. It alternates between heartbreak and wailing and incredible harmonies and rage and passion and love.
I went into my deep photo negative archive to see if that Eminem concert at that festival in Ireland, where I heard her sing earlier in the day, if I had taken a photograph that included her.
I had but never printed it, because Marianne Faithfull’s eyes are closed. And there she is.
Staring straight at me. Piercing and at the same time wide-open. I urge you to watch Kathryn Ferguson’s @kathrynferguson gorgeous and haunting portrait NOTHING COMPARES. It tells the story of Sinead’s life. Grim, and shattering and glorious and triumphant., she wrote.
Here are the first comments:
Thanks for sharing this. As much as I’ve enjoyed your work as an actress, I’ve enjoyed seeing the kind of person you are as well; kind good and generous. Your father was a sweetheart too. He was a client of mine many years ago and he used to call me on the phone and just wanted to talk. He was such a character. I really enjoyed his sense of humor. He was big-hearted, like you.
I love Feels So Different, Three Babies, The Last Day of Our Acquaintance. I’ve listened to those songs hundreds of times, if not more. Rest in Peace Sinéad.
Wow! Such a great shot of her…always piercing the lens with her Spirit!
Thank you for sharing
