Jamie Lee Curtis shares emotional tribute to her ‘Halloween’ legacy, celebrates “fighting for our lives together”

'Halloween' icon and OG Final Girl Jamie Lee Curtis shared an emotional tribute to her legacy in the John Carpenter franchise and celebrated 'fighting for our lives together.'

Curtis, who translated her early career fame into recent prestige upon winning her first Oscar for her role in 2022's Everything Everywhere All at Once, added that she savors "the opportunity to meet millions and millions of people whose lives were affected by that film and the subsequent films" after she first starred as Laurie Strode, who is later revealed to be the sister of the homicidal, masked Michael Myers in the 1978 slasher classic. "And so, on this Halloween night, I thank you for my creative life and my renewed belief that coming together as a group of people, with a common purpose, fighting for our lives together, brings out the best in us. In the 2018 EW cover story, Curtis assured moviegoers that the film would satisfy fans of the series by picking up on Laurie (who now has a daughter, played by Judy Greer, and a granddaughter, played by Andi Matichak) in gritty fashion — and that subsequent editions would explore the town of Haddonfield's lingering trauma from Myers' onslaught.
