Actresses Jamie Lee Curtis and Mariska Hargitay recently sat down for a conversation as part of Variety's Actors on Actors series. During their chat, they engaged in a light-hearted debate about the correct way to pronounce the name of a famous city. Jamie Lee Curtis argued that the correct pronunciation is Los Angeles, while Mariska Hargitay suggested that Los Feliz is also acceptable. However, the internet largely sided with Jamie Lee, citing that in Spanish, the correct pronunciation is indeed Los Angeles.
Mariska Hargitay countered that it's not uncommon for people to mispronounce words, especially in different regions. She pointed out that people from Arizona, where she is from, often pronounce words differently than those from California, where Jamie Lee is from. Jamie Lee agreed, saying that it's okay if people feel comfortable with their own way of pronouncing words, even if it's not the standard way.
The conversation ended with the two actresses playfully joking around and thanking the audience for watching. They also reminded viewers to catch the Today show on TV or listen to the podcast for more entertaining content.
