Jamie Lee Curtis is honoring her late parents Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis.

The Oscar winner shared a black-and-white throwback photo of the actors on Instagram Tuesday, marking 19 years since the day mom Janet died in 2004 at age 77. Last week marked 13 years since Tony died in 2010 at 85.

In her tribute, Curtis said her mom and dad would be in support of the ongoing actors' strike and the issues the SAG-AFTRA union are standing up for.

"Janet Leigh left us this day in 2004 and Tony Curtis last week in 2010," wrote Curtis, 64. "Missing them both now for a long time and know from their activism that they would stand with @sagaftra and this righteous fight to protect their and our identities!"

Back in December, Curtis celebrated her mom's iconic 1960 Alfred Hitchcock movie Psycho making Variety's 100 Greatest Movies of All Time list.

"I woke up this morning missing my mother and wishing she could see the beautiful family that I have and that her two daughters are well and thriving and for her to enjoy this magical, creative year I'm having, after such a long time in the same industry she loved," the Everything Everywhere All at Once actress wrote on Instagram.

She continued, "The miracle of the movies is that they last forever, in perpetuity. How thrilling to see her legacy today through the loving portal of @variety as the number #1 movie of all time."

Curtis, who shares two kids with husband Christopher Guest, again reflected on her parents in a January 2022 post, explaining that when she finds old photos of Janet and Tony she is "caught by not only their extreme beauty but their deep love and ambition."

"As the product of 13 divorces in my immediate family I have often struggled with the idea of love, what happens to it?" the Mother Nature author wrote at the time.

"There are only a couple reminders to me that I was born from love and not resentment, competition, jealousy and rancor which are the cornerstones of any unpleasant divorce," added Curtis. "I also forget that they were famous and loved worldwide. Happy hump day Janet and Tony. Thanks for love and life!"
