Jamie Lee Curtis has won an Emmy for her work on “The Bear.” The actress who has a BAFTA Award, a Golden Globe award and an Academy Award, can add the Emmy to her accolades after taking home the award Sunday for best guest actress in a comedy for her work on the hit FX show.

Speaking backstage after her win, Curtis was characteristically blunt and grateful for the opportunities she’s enjoyed amid the content boom of the past decade. “I’m the luckiest girl in the world.

I’ve been an actor since I was 19. I’m 65. I sold yogurt that makes you shit for seven years, and I just never thought in my life that I would get to do work at this level, depth and complexity and intelligence,” Curtis said. “It’s just been the thrill of my creative life these last couple years that I get these opportunities, so I’m humble and incredibly grateful.” On “The Bear,” she played Donna Berzatto, the alcoholic mother of Carmy, Sugar and Mikey, in two episodes from Season 2.

She is originally introduced in “Fishes,” a flashback episode chronicling the events of a family Christmas dinner five years prior to the show’s original timeline.
