Daughter of major film stars Janet Leigh (probably best remembered as Norman Bate's favorite customer) and Tony Curtis, Jamie Lee first made her mark in John Carpenter's classic Halloween (1978). That film lead to a number of other B-horror roles before Jamie moved out into more mainstream parts, becoming one of the most popular and bankable box-office stars of the past twenty years. Of late she's returned to the horror film with her appearance in last year's Halloween H20.
