Her acting career began in 1977 with a television debut in “Quincy, M.E.”, followed by guest appearances in various series such as “The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries” and “Charlie’s Angels.” Her breakout role came in 1978 as Laurie Strode in John Carpenter’s horror film “Halloween,” a role that established her as a ‘scream queen’ and became a significant early milestone.
She continued to build her career with notable roles in horror films like “The Fog” (1980), “Prom Night” (1980), and “Terror Train” (1980), and reprised her role in “Halloween II” (1981). A turning point in her career was the 1983 comedy “Trading Places,” which helped her shed her horror image and earned her a BAFTA Award.

Her success continued with the action-comedy “True Lies” (1994), earning her another Golden Globe Award, and a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination, marking her versatility across genres.
In the 2000s, Curtis maintained a prominent presence in Hollywood, starring in “Freaky Friday” (2003) alongside Lindsay Lohan, which garnered her another Golden Globe nomination. She briefly stepped back from acting to focus on family but returned with roles in films like “Beverly Hills Chihuahua” (2008) and “You Again” (2010). Her career saw a resurgence with her return to the “Halloween” franchise in 2018, followed by critical acclaim for her role in “Knives Out” (2019). In 2022, she received an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” cementing her status as an esteemed actress.
