Jamie Lee Curtis is mourning her ex-boyfriend Robert Carradine.
Shortly after the Revenge of the Nerds star’s family confirmed his death at age 71 on Feb. 23, the Halloween actress, who has previously referred to him as her “first love,” looked back on the sweet way they met and the memories they shared during their relationship.
“I woke up to the news that Robert Carradine died,” Jamie wrote in her Instagram post on Feb. 24, which featured a black and white photo of her and the Lizzie McGuire alum. “I met him live on television on the Dinah Shore Show when they had a bunch of second generation actors, we would call them now Nepo babies.”
After all, Jamie was the daughter of Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, while Robert’s parents were John Carradine and Sonia Sorel—and each were trying to make their own mark on Hollywood. The Oscar winner recalled how during their appearance on the talk show, “Bobby and I came on last and Bobby rearranged where we were all sitting so that he could sit next to me and he kissed me, live on television.”
Calling it a “very public meet cute,” Jamie went on to detail how their relationship blossomed from there, including meeting Robert’s daughter Ever Carradine—who he shared with ex Susan Snyder—in the hospital when she was 3.
“Ever, now a talented actress, had suffered a terrible burn from hot water and was in the burn unit,” the 67-year-old recalled, “and I met her for the first time there, this little girl wrapped in gauze with the biggest smile on her face and the most beautiful eyes.”
