  Jamie Lee Curtis - Biography - Moviefone   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The daughter of film stars Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, Jamie Lee Curtis launched her film career as a "scream queen." After a nondescript supporting role on the TV series Operation Petticoat, Curtis rose to cult stardom playing the straight-laced teenage baby sitter imperiled by an unknown slasher in Halloween (1978).
But Curtis wasn't about to be typed this early in the game: with a meaty secondary role as a prostitute -- featuring several well-publicized nude scenes -- in the big-budget comedy Trading Places (1983), she made the transition from imperiled teen type to knowing adult with nary a hitch.
Curtis didn't exactly have a string of box-office smashes after Trading Places, but she was always worth watching even when the films weren't.

Jamie Lee Curtis was in a playful mood, but that didn’t stop her from announcing that Christmas with the Kranks might well be her last movie.
At 46, Curtis looks perennially youthful and sexy, qualities she takes advantage of in the family comedy Christmas with the Kranks, a film about a suburban comedy that decides to skip Christmas and instead embark on a Caribbean cruise, much to the utter chagrin of her equally suburban neighbours.
Curtis, who began her career first screaming her heart out in Halloween, and then appearing naked in several films, says that starring in the likes of Christmas with the Kranks and the previous Freaky Friday, have to do with being a concerned parent.
