Belated Happy Birthday wishes go out to actress and author Jamie Lee Curtis who turned 50 years old last Saturday. Jamie was born in Los Angeles, California to actors Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh. Jamie attended Beverly Hills H.S. but graduated from the Choate Rosemary Hall, a private boarding school in Wallingford, Connecticut.

Jamie has been married for almost 24 years to actor Christopher Guest, who inherited the Barony of Haden-Guest, making her Lady Haden-Guest. They have two children, a daughter Anne, and a son Thomas. They make their home in Pacific Palisades.


Jamie started her career in the role of Laurie Storde in the horror film, Halloween". Three additional roles in horror films, "The Fog", "Prom Night", and "Terror Train" earned her the nick name of "Scream Queen".

Jamie went from "Scream Queen" to sex symbol with rolls in "Trading Places" and "Love Letters" featuring her first nude scenes. She went on to make "A Fish Called Wanda" and "True Lies". She currently has a movie out entitled "Beverley Hills Chihuahua".


Jamie is also an author, having written eight children's books including "It's Hard to Be Five: Learning How to Work My Control Panel", and "Words for Little People". Jamie also blogs for the "Huffington Post".

As reported in this blog earlier in the year, Jamie posed nude for the AARP magazine to celebrate her 50th birthday a little early. You go girl!! Nude in your 50's. I like the concept!!
