Jamie Lee Curtis comes from famous parents. Her father is Tony Curtis and her mother is Janet Leigh. Jamie Lee made her film debut when she starred in the John Carpenter classic, Halloween. Her role in that movie cemented her as a horror movie icon. She went on to star in other iconic horror roles in Prom Night, The Fog, and several Halloween sequels. Halloween II, Halloween H20: 20 Years Later, and the recent Halloween: Resurrection. Interestingly, Halloween: Resurrection erased most of the previous movies from the canon.
Although she's had a great acting career outside of horror, she returned to her horror roots in the show Scream Queens, which is named after actresses who played in horror movies and had amazing screams. The show was a comedic parody of horror movie tropes from the same producers who created Glee.
