Miguel is one of 11 contestants on Season 3 season of Claim to Fame, ABC‘s reality TV series where contestants, all with a secret celebrity relative, must correctly identify their competitors’ claims to fame while keeping theirs unknown. The series is hosted by brothers Kevin Jonas and Frankie Jonas and has featured the relatives of Oscar winners like Whoopi Goldberg and Tom Hanks. Miguel’s relative in Claim to Fame Season 3 is yet another name to add to that list.
Miguel’s celebrity relative is actress Jamie Lee Curtis. Miguel, whose real name is Raphael Curtis and goes by nickname Raffi, is Jamie Lee’s nephew. His two truths and a lie also confirm that Jamie Lee is his celebrity relative.
Miguel’s two truths and a lie were that his celebrity relative is his grandfather, an actor, and has won an Oscar. Jamie Lee won her first Oscar in 2022 in the Best Supporting Actress category for the movie Everything Everywhere All at Once. Miguel’s mother, Allegra Curtis, is also Jamie Lee’s half sister, making her his aunt. That means that his lie was that his celebrity relative is his grandfather.
Clues on the clue wall that support Jamie Lee as Miguel’s relative include a knife, a reference to her role in the 2019 movie, Knives Out, as well as Michael Meyers’ weapon of choice in the Halloween movies, which Jamie Lee famously starred in.
In Season 3, Episode 1, Miguel’s Claim to Fame cast mate, Bianca, incorrectly speculated that his celebrity relative was Desi Arnaz, an actor and Lucille Ball’s ex-husband who starred with her on the series I Love Lucy. Miguel also explained in the first episode that he played up the Latinx side of his background to lead his competitors in the wrong direction.
Who’s Jamie Lee Curtis, Miguel’s relative?
Curtis is an actress, who is often regarded as a scream queen for her performances in horror and slasher movies like the Halloween franchise, The Fog, Prom Night, and Roadgames. She’s also the youngest daughter of actors Janet Lee and Tony Curtis. Her big break came in 1978 when she made her movie debut as Laurie Strode in 1978’s Halloween. Curtis continued her horror career with movies like Terror Train, as well as six more Halloween sequels. She also starred in the FOX series Scream Queens from 2015 to 2016.
Along with her horror movie career, Curtis has also starred in movies like Freaky Friday, Veronica Mars and Everything Everywhere All at Once, which earned Curtis her first Academy Award. In total, Curtis has one Oscar, a BAFTA Award, two Golden Globe Awards, and a Grammy Award. She married her husband, director Christopher Guest, in 1984. They share two children: daughters Ruby and Annie Guest.
Claim to Fame is available to stream on Hulu.
