Curtis Wrote Painkiller Addiction Letter To Sister

Actress JAMIE LEE CURTIS confessed to stealing her sister's painkillers in a letter she never sent.

The Trading Places star has revealed the contents of the heartfelt letter in a new More magazine article.

She says, "The first line is, `I've been harboring a secret, a bad secret for the length of your stay. I have found and taken many of your Percocet and Vicodin.'"

Curtis reveals her sister Kelly was prescribed painkillers for a broken bone - and the letter spurred on the actress' attempts to get help for her addiction.

She wrote, "I've betrayed you, and I know that you're angry, and you have every right to be... I am lonely. I take them at night at home to ease the pain. I was so afraid to tell you."

The actress admits the letter has "been on my desk for 10 years".
