Santa Monica, Thanksgiving of 1958, Jamie Lee Curtis was born to screen idols Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh.
Left to be raised by a single mother as a toddler, Curtis dropped out after a single semester at law school to take on the wild world of thespianism as a television bit player in notable episodes of The Shaun Cassidy/Parker Stevenson Hardy Boys, Buck Rogers, Charlies Angels and Columbo, before a recurring part on the short lived Operation Petticoat sitcom.
But a prominent screen debut in John Carpenter’s soon to be iconic slasher Halloween led to a succession of similar roles both in and apart from the franchise that resulted, in such well remembered efforts as The Fog, Prom Night, Terror Train and Road Games (not to mention Halloween II, H2O, Resurrection and the recent revival trilogy under David Gordon Green.
Concerned about being typecast, she began to branch out into comedy, appearing (and generally stealing the show) in box office hits like Trading Places, A Fish Called Wanda, Freaky Friday and the recent Everything Everywhere All At Once as well as more dramatic roles in films like Perfect, Love Letters, Blue Steel and True Lies.
Join us as we take on the original "Final Girl", scream queen, comedienne and more, the one and only Jamie Lee Curtis, only here on Weird Scenes!
