Jamie Lee Curtis

Jamie Lee Curtis is the daughter of legendary actors Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis. She got her big break at acting in 1978 when she won the role of Laurie Strode in Halloween (1978). After that she became famous for roles in movies like Trading Places (1983), Perfect (1985) and A Fish Called Wanda (1988). She starred in one of the biggest action films ever, True Lies (1994), for which she won a Golden Globe for her performance. In 1998 she starred in Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998) in which she reprised her role that made her famous back in 1978. She did not have a very close relationship with her father and at one point said "Because I didn't really have a relationship with him he couldn't let me down. I just happened to be one of the last people who hadn't been disappointed too many times. For years I didn't know who Tony Curtis was as much as other people told me who he was." At one point she said that "Christmas with the Kranks" would be her last movie but she did sign further projects, although none of them were acting assignments, so in essence her "acting" career is all but over.
