Jamie Lee Curtis is remembering her late parents, actors Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh.
On Tuesday, which marked 19 years since the death of her mother, the Academy Award winner shared an Instagram post featuring a photo of her parents, writing in the caption that she had been "missing them both now for a long time."
"Janet Leigh left us this day in 2004 and Tony Curtis last week in 2010," she wrote.
She also called attention to the ongoing Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists strike and said her parents would support the actors on the picket lines.

"[I] know from their activism that they would stand with @sagaftra and this righteous fight to protect their and our identities!" she wrote.
SAG-AFTRA has been on strike since July, a stoppage that coincided with the Writers Guild of America strike, which ended last week after the guild was able to reach a tentative agreement with studios.
In 1960 -- the last time the WGA and SAG were on strike at the same time -- Leigh, who was known for her award-winning role as Marion Crane in Alfred Hitchcock's thriller "Psycho," and Tony Curtis, who was known for his roles in "Some Like It Hot" and "Spartacus," opened their Beverly Hills home to 100 SAG members to help actors understand the purpose of a strike, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The current SAG-AFTRA strike, like its 1960 counterpart, also stems from a dispute over compensation. It comes amid an industry-wide shift toward streaming that has changed the way performers receive residuals, or royalty payments.
Last week, the WGA, which began striking in early May, unanimously voted to lift its strike after reaching a "tentative" deal with studios. The strike lasted 146 days and brought pickets to productions and company offices nationwide.
