Jamie Lee Curtis

Jamie Lee Curtis grew up in a Hollywood family as the daughter of actors Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh. Her parents divorced when she was a child, and she was raised largely by her mother in Los Angeles. She attended the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California, but left before graduating to pursue acting full time.

Her first major role came in John Carpenter's low-budget horror film Halloween (1978), in which she played Laurie Strode, a babysitter stalked by a masked killer. The film's success made her a leading figure of the horror genre, and she followed it with The Fog, Prom Night, Terror Train, and Halloween II, earning a reputation as a "scream queen."

Curtis showed her comic range opposite Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy in Trading Places (1983) and with John Cleese and Kevin Kline in A Fish Called Wanda (1988). She starred alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in James Cameron's True Lies (1994), a performance that won her a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy.

She returned to the role of Laurie Strode decades later in a new Halloween trilogy released between 2018 and 2022. Her performance as a ruthless IRS inspector in Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) won her the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Outside acting, Curtis is a best-selling children's author and has spoken openly about her recovery from addiction. She has been married to actor and director Christopher Guest since 1984, and the couple have two children.
