At 60, Jamie Lee Curtis continues to shine brightly in Hollywood, proving she's as bankable as ever. Her latest film, the sequel to Halloween, smashed box-office records last year. And you know what? She credits much of her show-business wisdom to her legendary parents, Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis.
Learning from the Legends
“One of the greatest perks of being the daughter of two iconic film stars, Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis, is that I had a front-row seat to watch them navigate this wild world of show business,” Jamie Lee said during the recent ICG Publicists Awards in Los Angeles. “Their example was absolutely invaluable to me.”
A Family Foundation
While Jamie Lee’s biological parents, Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, divorced when she was just 3 years old, her mom remarried Robert Brandt, and they remained together for an incredible 43 years. “That gave me a solid foundation for what a long-lasting, loving relationship looks like,” Jamie Lee has shared. And guess what? She’s carried that lesson into her own life. “I’m still married to my first husband, Christopher Guest, and we’re proud parents to two amazing kids,” Jamie Lee told reporters at the event. “And by the way, my daughter Annie is getting married this year. Just saying!”

The Secret to a Happy Marriage
In a past interview with Good Housekeeping, Jamie Lee opened up about her marriage to Christopher Guest, revealing the key to their enduring relationship. “Christopher and I are complete opposites, and that’s been true for the last 33 years—and it probably always will be,” she said. “He’s super intellectual, while I come from the world of movie stars, alcoholics, and drug addicts, where education wasn’t exactly top of the list. We don’t listen to the same radio station, we don’t read the same newspapers, and we definitely don’t go to bed at the same time. But you know what? We both love reading the same history books.”
