It’s hard to believe Jamie Lee Curtis is now 66, though her career makes it clear why she’s still so admired. For many, she’ll always be the fresh-faced Laurie Strode from Halloween (1978), yet her impact has stretched far beyond the “Scream Queen” label.
Born into Hollywood royalty—her mother Janet Leigh starred in Psycho and her father Tony Curtis was a leading man—Jamie seemed destined for the screen. Her breakout role in Halloween launched a decades-long career, later cemented by her versatility in films like Trading Places and True Lies. More recently, she won an Academy Award for Everything Everywhere All at Once, proving her relevance remains as strong as ever.
Offscreen, Curtis is a successful author of children’s books and an outspoken advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, sobriety, and body positivity. Married to Christopher Guest since 1984, she’s also a devoted mother of two.
Curtis embraces aging openly, rejecting the idea of “anti-aging” and promoting self-acceptance. Her confidence, talent, and authenticity ensure that, even at 66, she’s still inspiring fans worldwide.
