Los Angeles, California, USA:
Jamie Lee Curtis (nata il 22 novembre 1958) è un'attrice, produttrice e autrice per bambini americana. Conosciuta per le sue interpretazioni nei generi horror e slasher, è considerata una regina delle urla, oltre a svolgere ruoli in commedie. Ha ricevuto numerosi riconoscimenti, tra cui un Oscar, un BAFTA, due Golden Globe e due Screen Actors Guild Awards, oltre a nomination per un Emmy e un Grammy. È diventata famosa con la sitcom ABC Operation Petticoat (1977–1978). Ha debuttato nel cinema interpretando Laurie Strode nel film slasher di John Carpenter Halloween (1978), che l'ha consacrata come una regina delle urla e ha portato a una serie di ruoli in film horror come The Fog, Prom Night, Terror Train (tutti del 1980) e Roadgames (1981). Ha ripreso il ruolo di Laurie nel franchise di Halloween fino al 2022. Il suo lavoro cinematografico spazia da molti generi al di fuori dell'horror, tra cui le commedie Trading Places (1983), per la quale vinse un BAFTA come Miglior Attrice Non Protagonista, e A Fish Called Wanda (1988), per la quale ricevette una nomination ai BAFTA come Miglior Attrice. Il suo ruolo di istruttrice di allenamento nel film Perfect (1985) le valse la reputazione di simbolo sessuale. Ha vinto un Golden Globe per la sua interpretazione di Helen Tasker in True Lies di James Cameron (1994). Altri suoi crediti cinematografici di rilievo includono Freaky Friday (2003) e Knives Out (2019). La sua interpretazione in Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) le è valso l'Oscar come miglior attrice non protagonista. Ha ricevuto una stella sulla Hollywood Walk of Fame nel 1998. A partire dal 2021, i suoi film hanno incassato oltre 2,3 miliardi di dollari al botteghino. Ha ricevuto un Golden Globe e un People's Choice Award per la sua interpretazione di Hannah Miller in Anything But Love (1989–1992) della ABC, e ha ottenuto una nomination ai Primetime Emmy per il film televisivo Nicholas' Gift (1998). Ha inoltre interpretato Cathy Munsch nella serie Fox Scream Queens (2015–16), per la quale ha ricevuto la sua settima nomination ai Golden Globe. Ha scritto numerosi libri per bambini, tra cui Today I Feel Silly e Other Moods That Make My Day (1998), che è entrato nella lista dei bestseller del New York Times. È figlia degli attori Janet Leigh e Tony Curtis. È sposata con il regista britannico-americano Christopher Guest, con il quale ha due figli adottivi. Il suo matrimonio con Guest, che detiene il titolo britannico di 5° Barone Haden-Guest, la rende baronessa con diritto di usare il nome "The Right Honourable The Lady Haden-Guest", anche se sceglie di non usarlo.
