Jamie Lee Curtis is a producer, actress, and children’s author. She is known as a scream queen, as a result of her performance in horror movies like
Road Games,
Halloween,
Terror Train,
The Fog, and
Prom Night.
She’s gotten numerous accolades, including a BAFTA Award, an Oscar, 2 Screen Actors Guild Awards, a Primetime Emmy Award, 2 Golden Globes, as well as a Grammy nomination.
Jamie made her TV debut in a 1977 episode of Quincy, ME, an NBC drama series. She would go on to make appearances on
Charlie’s Angels,
Columbo,
The Love Boat, and
Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.
She made her film debut the following year in
Halloween, John Carpenter’s classic slasher movie, where she played Laurie Strode, a role she would play in an additional 6 movies. It was a major success and considered the highest-grossing independent film of the time, earning accolades a classic of the genre.
She was cast in the role by Debra Hill (writer and producer on the film) because of her mom being a horror icon because of her performance in Hitchcock’s
Psycho.
Roger Ebert gave negative reviews to
Prom Night,
Terror Train, and
The Fog, but said she’s to the current horror film glut that Christopher Lee and Boris Karloff were to the previous ones.
Her role in
Trading Places helped her shed her image as a scream queen, and the film was a major commercial and critical hit. She’d worked with John Landis on his documentary
Coming Soon. The studio had objected to her being cast in the movie, since she was primarily known for horror films.
She’s also been in
A Fish Called Wanda and
Trading Places, the latter of which she received a BAFTA for Best Supporting Actress. Jamie also won a Golden Globe for Best Actress for playing Helen Trasker in
True Lies.
