Jamie Lee Curtis was born November
22, 1958, in Los Angeles, California, and was considered Hollywood royalty from
birth. The daughter of legendary actor Tony Curtis and actress Janet Leigh, Jamie
Lee's birth was a newsworthy event.
Her foray into acting was marked by several
television appearances in the late '70s, in shows like Quincy, The Hardy Boys/Nancy
Drew Mysteries, Charlie's Angels, The Love Boat, and a recurring role in the series
Operation Petticoat. After a season, Jamie Lee landed her breakthrough role in
John Carpenter's slasher thriller, 1978's Halloween.
The
independent picture went on to gross $45 million at the box office, and Jamie
Lee, who was credited as "Introducing Jamie Lee Curtis" (not wanting
to bank in on her famous genes) was deemed a certified "Scream Queen."
Anyone
who grew up in the 1980s has their own fantasy about the curvy Miss Curtis. Some
remember her as the "Scream Queen" for such horror classics as Halloween,
Halloween II, Prom Night, and The Fog. Others for her offbeat comedies like A
Fish Called Wanda and Trading Places. Yet others for her action roles in Blue
Steel or True Lies.
