Summary

Born into Hollywood royalty, Jamie Lee Curtis - one of the OG nepo babies - screams her way onto the silver screen in the horror classic, “Halloween.” But she leaves her scream queen status behind and enjoys a diverse film career in which she excels in action, romance and comedy. But what her fans don’t know, is that behind all the glitz and glamour, the star of "True Lies," "Trading Places," and "A Fish Called Wanda," is fighting a battle that’s harder than anything Michael Myers could ever throw at her.
