An open letter from Elizabeth Hurley to Hollywood, my fans, and the entire entertainment community.

Dear Hollywood, my devoted fans, and the esteemed entertainment community,

As I sit down to write this letter, my heart is filled with thanks and affection for everyone who has been a part of my journey in this incredible industry. Reflecting on my years in the entertainment industry, I am overwhelmed by the love, support, and opportunities that have shaped not only my profession but also who I am today.

To Hollywood, the beating heart of creativity and dreams, thank you for welcoming me. From my first days of learning the intricacies of acting to taking on roles that challenged and developed me, you gave a platform for me to express myself and deliver tales that resonated with audiences all over the world. Hollywood has always been more than a destination; it is a community of artists, visionaries, and dreamers that push the envelope and create magic. I feel honoured to be a part of this tradition.

To my faithful fans: you have been the foundation of my career, and I am eternally grateful. Whether it was through your applause at premieres, sweet notes on social media, or unflinching support through the highs and lows, your love has been a continual source of inspiration. Your conviction in me has motivated me to perform better and reach higher. You’ve applauded my accomplishments, accepted my flaws, and reminded me that my job is genuinely valuable. The most rewarding aspect of my performances is knowing that they have touched your life.

The entire entertainment industry—directors, producers, writers, co-stars, and everyone else involved—has played an important role in my development. Thank you for your cooperation, mentoring, and trust. Together, we’ve brought characters to life, presented fascinating stories, and connected with audiences of all ages. The friendship and mutual respect we share have not only improved my professional life, but have also increased my appreciation for the art we make.

Over the years, I’ve learnt that success in this field requires not only talent, but also resilience, humility, and the support of others. The opportunities I’ve had to explore various aspects of entertainment—whether on-screen, behind the scenes, or as an advocate for causes near to my heart—are all due to the community’s trust and faith in me.

I look to the future with thankfulness and optimism. There are still so many stories to tell, parts to play, and love to spread. I promise to keep giving my utmost, to stay true to myself, and to appreciate the amazing support you’ve given me.

Thank you to Hollywood, my fans, and the entertainment community for partnering with me on this fantastic journey. You’ve made my path one of joy, progress, and never-ending inspiration. Here’s to many more years of magical moments together.

With all of my love and gratitude.
Elizabeth Hurley
