With no training to her name, it was a dream come true for Jamie Lee Curtis to land the lead role in Halloween – the film which would catapult her into her career as an actress for years to come.
‘I did this job. It was $300,000, 20 days, Hollywood. It was weird and quick, it was over before I even began.’
Throughout the course of conversation Lee Curtis is clear to emphasise her lack of experience, as she explains the chain of events that lead to each of her significant roles and the role that fate had to play.
‘All of that work would never have happened had John Landas not given me that opportunity.’
A recovered alcoholic, Lee Curtis is open about the turning point in her life and looking forward, how she intends to go on.
