"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," Curtis wrote.
Leigh, who died in 2004, is best known for her portrayal of Marion Crane in Alfred Hitchcock's psychological thriller, "Psycho." The shower scene in the film, during which her character is stabbed to death by Anthony Perkins' serial killer, Norman Bates, is one of the most well-known scenes in film history.
The film is named as the greatest movie of all time by Variety.

She completed the look with a black handbag and a bloody shower curtain draped over her arm.
