When she turned twenty, directed by John Carpenter offered the girl role in the horror film "All Saints Day" (1978). The cooperation was so successful that Carpenter invited the actress in his next picture "Fog" (1980). Koekto has become ironically called her "Lady of horrors", because tape "Terror Train" (1980) also belonged to this genre. But, fortunately, it did not happen. Jamie Lee grew up in a versatile actress

. In addition to the horror films she starred in the comedy ( "changing places", 1983, "Fish Called Wanda", 1988), psychological drama ( "Love Letters" 1983; "Perfection" 1985; "Dominick and Eugene", 1988), detective ( "blueing", 1990).

. Especially good is the actress in comedy roles
. Cheery, seductive, with a coy impish grimace on face, where the narrow cunning eyes shine, she created for the very nature of comedy. For the first time the charm of the comedy talent of Jamie Lee in the audience could feel the "changing places". She plays a prostitute Ophelia, which employ in order to compromise a prosperous gentleman. But things turned in such a way that it had to take him to his home. Ophelia feels that the bewildered man can give her in the future, good service, and no mistakes.

Similar nature creates the actress in the film "Fish Called Wanda". No fortress, which would not have tried to take her merry resourceful heroine Wanda. Durian one and all, . including his own associates, . She seizes stolen diamonds and the crown it all, gets the heart of the English judges, . who can not resist the charms of a gay clockwork American, . love and theft demonstrating the wonders of resourcefulness and ingenuity.,

. Despite the boyish look butch, . long thin legs, . Jamie has a lean figure of unquestionable sex appeal, . and the director James Bridges into account this, . offering her the role of teacher of aerobics Jesse in the movie "Perfection",
. However, the actress herself felt that not enough has been prepared. Over six months, she tortured herself workouts at the gym, swimming, sgonkoy weight and so entered into the element of professional sports, which easily eclipsed the partner of John Travolta.

How not to triumph without telling the actress, it was for her, and not to Jane Fonda people approached for advice on how to find such an ideal figure. By the way, "Perfection" is not a sports movie. His hero, a journalist from the Rolling Stones, wrote a report about health clubs in Los Angeles. But Jessie refuses to deal with. More recently, due to failure of the interview was ruined her career swimmer, a candidate for Olympic gold. Work in health clubs a way to stay afloat. Jamie Lee creates dramatic portrait of a young woman forced to bid farewell to his biggest dream.

D. Curtis looks great in the movies, where the internal action is supported by a number of spectacular visual. Therefore, it failed because the image of women police Meghan Turner, entered into a duel with her lover in a Serial Killer, leaving the crime scene cartridge case with her name. Although the movie "blueing" plot does heroin cause for jokes and smiles, you can not break away from the unfolding on-screen duel.

. Jamie Lee was convincing and mixed with the Freudian motives of the drama "Love Letters" (1983), where she plays a young, confident woman, the editor of music programs a major broadcasting corporation
. Everything was fine in her life, until I found a bunch of love letters mother, and imprinted in them a sense of long-dead people have not obtained a strange power over her soul. Only by destroying these messages, Anna managed to regain confidence.

Yet the greatest strength of the D. Curtis is a comedy. The ability to laugh a rare gift, and the audience generously paid to the person who possesses a perfect. When the credits the movie "My Girl" (1992) there were two names: Dan Aykroyd and Jamie Lee Curtis, it sounded like a promise fun spectacular. However, "My girl" modest lyrical film gravitates towards the drama, not comedy. And as the actress herself, it is not without pleasure, she performed the role of Shelley, ordinary American women, dreams of family and marriage.

The audience was slightly disappointed, irritated by criticism. However, Jamie Lee aims to be diversified. However, this versatility is just prevented her enter the first number of Hollywood stars with whom she started along the path to the cinema, Kim Basinger, Kathleen Turner, Michelle Pfeiffer, Debra Winger. If D. Curtis concentrated on one side of his talent, it would be faster acquired star status. But being an actress for her is more important.

Raised in Hollywood Bedlam, Jamie Lee Curtis from childhood aspired to be a normal, healthy person, for fear of contracting diseases such Hollywood as drug and alcohol.
