When it comes to picking just one iconic Jamie Lee Curtis film — it's impossible! With a career that spans nearly five decades, it's hard to nail down a single film that hasn't earned both fan and critic accolades. From the Halloween franchise to her early aughts hit Freaky Friday with Lindsay Lohan, JLC has truly made something for everyone.

However, it's hard to talk about this acting maven's career without mentioning True Lies — the 1994 film that she starred in alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Posing a picture of herself hanging outside of a helicopter, Jamie explained that she was sharing this story because she never plans on writing an autobiography.

"Since I will never write a book and today is the 28th anniversary of TRUE LIES being released I thought I would share this picture," she wrote.

"This was three days before my 35th birthday. We were doing the sequence where Helen is in the runaway limousine and Harry is flying above her in the helicopter."

"Obviously I did a bunch of it on the road but so did my stunt double, Donna Keegan," Jamie said before going on to tell fans a truly EPIC story.

"The stunt itself of course was one of the most spectacular ever done and Donna deserves all of that credit but we did need a shot of me post being pulled out of the limousine over the burning wreckage," she explained.

"In order to get the shot we had to wire me to the helicopter at base camp and then fly for 20 minutes over the water to get to the 7 mile bridge where the wreckage took place."

OMG — that sounds absolutely terrifying!

"In the photograph is Joel Kramer who doubled Arnold on the skid and that's James Cameron hanging out of the passenger seat with the camera," she explained. "Chuck Tamburo was the pilot and the only requirement I had for the sequence was that somebody have wire cutters in the helicopter in case they had to ditch over water so that I could be separated from it."

"I saw manatees and it was late afternoon and it was a glorious ride on a wire all thanks to James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger," she concluded.

Sorry, WHAT?! As if I wasn't already so impressed with JLC and her work ethic, this takes it to a whole new level!
