US shelter celebrates Jamie Lee Curtis’ SAG Awards win by dressing their rescues in star’s iconic roles

KUALA LUMPUR, March 2 — An animal shelter that actress Jamie Lee Curtis collaborated with has celebrated her win in the 2023 SAG Awards by dressing up their residents in some of her most iconic characters.

Paw Works, a no-kill nonprofit animal rescue based in Southern California, replicated some of the 64-year-old’s memorable personas and shared the pictures via their Instagram.

“We want to extend a huge congratulations to our friend @jamieleecurtis for her SAG win this past weekend! To show our admiration and appreciation for you and your work, some of our rescues (with the help of their humans) have replicated some of your memorable personas!” the organisation wrote.

In the pictures, the pooches channelled characters from Everything Everywhere All At Once, Christmas with the Kranks, A Fish Called Wanda, Halloween, Knives Out, Trading Places and True Lies.

Each costume included an intricacy of detail, up to rescue dog Ziggy’s yellow beaded necklace that matched the one Curtis wore as Deirdre Beaubeirdre in Everything Everywhere All At Once, People reported.

Ziggy also matched Curtis’ long, brown locks from the Halloween franchise by wearing a small wig when he channeled the character of Laurie Strode.

Curtis previously worked with the organisation which saved over 12,500 dogs since its establishment in 2014. She honoured Betty White and her dedication to animal welfare during the In Memoriam segment of the 2022 Oscars by bringing out a Chihuahua mix named Mac & Cheese who was up for adoption.

Thanks to her efforts, the animal was later adopted by John Travolta.

During the 2023 SAG Awards, Curtis won Best Supporting Actress for her role in Everything Everywhere All At Once.

Her name has also been listed for the same category in the 95th Academy Awards this March 12.
