Jamie Lee Curtis

Jamie Lee Curtis - American actress, which has gained the most popularity and demand in two completely different and even opposite genres: in horror films and in comedies.

As thriller actress Jamie Lee Curtis received the title of "scream queen" and appeared in the famous franchise "Halloween" and in the pictures "Train of Fear," "The Fog," "School Ball" and others. As a comedian Lee Curtis realized in the films "Freaky Friday," "Change Places," "Fish named Wanda," "You Again" and others.

The combination of these two roles of the actress was a role in the TV series "Scream queens", shot in the genre of comedy with black humor and parody of horror movies.

Actress Jamie Lee Curtis was born on November 22, 1958 in America. And not somewhere, but in Los Angeles, in an acting family. Fate itself predetermined her profession. In Jamie's veins flows Jewish, Danish and Hungarian blood.

It would seem that childhood in the acting family should be bright and rich impressions, but Jamie it turned out differently. When she was 4 years old, her parents divorced. Jamie and her older sister stayed to live with their mother. The girls' mother soon remarried.

Jamie Lee Curtis grew up a quiet and calm girl, well-schooled, not naughty. After graduating from high school, she enrolled in college in Connecticut and then at the Faculty of Social Work at Stockton University. However, she studied at the university for only a semester. By this time Jamie had finally established herself in the idea that social work is not her calling. She wanted to be an actress.

Jamie had talent, so she wasn't surprised when director Carpenter suggested she star in "Halloween." It was in 1978, when the girl had just turned 20 years old. Her debut was so successful that the director invited her to the next film - "The Fog." Then there were the shootings in the project "The Train of Terror." Three roles in a row in horror films - it was enough to cement Lee Curtis's reputation as a "lady of horror." Fortunately, in this role it did not remain for long.

In 1983, Jamie appeared in the comedy "Change Places", and in 1988 played in the film "Fish named Wanda". Comedy roles were successful actress no less brilliant than roles in horror films. In "Change Places" Jamie played a prostitute Ophelia, and in "Fish named Wanda" - a heartthrob-seductress, demonstrating the wonders of ingenuity and resourcefulness in the thief's business.

Skinny, short-haired Jamie Lee Curtis exudes sexual energy from the screen. This is especially felt in the film "Perfection" where the actress played a fitness trainer. Before filming, she tortured herself for six months training, engaged in swimming, got rid of extra pounds. Then there was a new image of a female policeman in the film "Crow steel", the role of the editor of a major radio company in the picture "Love Letters" and others. In each of these images, Jamie was convincing.

And yet viewers are used to seeing her in comedic roles. In 1992, the film "My Girl" starring Lee Curtis was released. The film crew expected success, but the lyrical plot, more gravitating to the drama, disappointed fans of the actress' creativity.

However, in 1994, the actress again received recognition and love of the audience. This year, the actress's creative biography was supplemented by a role in James Cameron's comedy thriller True Lies, for which the actress even won the prestigious Golden Globe Award.

In 1998 and 2002, the actress starred in two more parts of "Halloween", and in 2003 brilliantly played a teenager in the comedy "Freaky Friday." The audience was delighted with the transformation of a mature woman into a girl.

From mid-2015 to the end of 2016, Jamie Lee Curtis played director Katie Munch in the television series Scream Queens. This is a comedy with black humor, the authors of which described the film as a meeting of "Mean Girls" with "Friday the 13th".

The name of the series comes from the name of the classic role of actresses in horror films. "The queen of screaming" is a victim, which during the film is chased by a monster or a maniac, and whose main duty - loudly and piercingly shout at the sight of scripted and terrible things. By the way, in this role and proved itself Jamie Lee Curtis, who starred in the series in the genre of horror "Halloween."

The action of the first season of the series takes place in a campus, in the prestigious women's sister house "Kappa Kappa Tau", where there are bloody murders. The inhabitants of this house - glamorous and rich girls led by the Chanel (Emma Roberts). The main activity of the club is to pick up fashionable things, perform the whims of Shanely and mock less successful girls.

The life of the club changes with the arrival of more independent participants, as well as with the appearance of the killer in the house. The heroine Jamie Lee Curtis tries to calm the troubled house and find the killer, so as not to lose his own directorship, with the girls consider Munch the main suspect. Katie Munch regularly appears in the plot, and, according to the authors, the main script was originally written under the heroines Lee Curtis and Roberts.

The finale of the first season fully reveals the characters and completes the storyline, so the second season, which started in September 2016, has little to do with the first. In this regard, "The Scream Queens" replicates the structure of another famous horror series, American Horror Story. The only difference is that "AIU" transfers from the plot to the plot only actors, "The queens" fix the personalities of the characters.

The second season is set in a hospital, which was bought by Dean Kathy Munch and conducts experimental research there. Chanel and her henchmen work in the hospital as nurses, and, as in the first season, the hospital begins brutal murders.

The actress was nominated for a Golden Globe for her role in Scream, but did not receive an award. In total, during her work, the actress twice received a Golden Globe, several times nominated for other prestigious awards.

In 1984, Jamie married reporter Chris Gest, an English lord and baron. The couple is raising daughter Anna and son Thomas, both adopted children.

Their family lives amicably and happily in their own mansion in the old los Angeles neighborhood.

Jamie Lee Curtis has seen the mores of Hollywood since childhood. She always dreamed of having a family, and most of all was afraid of alcohol and drug addiction. That's why Jamie worked on himself for a long time, led and leads a healthy lifestyle. She does not suffer from "star disease", in between work on the set writes books for children.

Jamie Lee Curtis leads a modest by Hollywood standards lifestyle: at parties does not appear, in scandals are not involved. But the actress got exactly what she dreamed of all her life - family, favorite work and peace of mind.

Today Jamie Lee Curtis is shooting in several major projects. The premiere of the horror film "Halloween Returns", a new film from the "Halloween" franchise, is scheduled for fall 2018. The film was originally planned as a reboot or, according to the authors, a "recalibration" of the original paintings, but later screenwriters David Gordon Green and Danny McBride said that the film would be a direct sequel to the original "Halloween".

In the new horror film Jamie Lee Curtis once again returned to the role of Laurie Strood, which the actress has played in five films. In early 2018, the actress posted photos to Instagram in this image, clearly showing that the work on the film is in full swing.
