Who Is Jamie Lee Curtis's Husband? Inside Her Longstanding Marriage

Jamie Lee Curtis and Christopher Guest's successful marriage: The complete story here!  

An actress, producer, author, and activist, Jamie Lee Curtis, is many things, including a wife and a mother. Although Curtis's happily married status may come across as unconvincing for many, given the actress's long relationship with slasher films and her fitting portrayal of Laurie Strode, a character so gravely traumatized, hence oblivious to the concept of love_in the Halloween franchise.   

Curtis, 63, was born in Santa Monica, California, to influential Hollywood stars, actors Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh. Jamie made her debut in the 1978 horror film Halloween and soon obtained the title of the scream queen. Jamie's net worth details here.  

Curtis recalls growing up in abundance, all thanks to her parents' A-list status, but her life wasn't all bed of roses. Curtis also recollects an early life where she fell abandoned by her father, who remained absent from her life after his divorce from Leigh in 1962. Curtis shares how her parents' strained relationship affected her understanding of love and marriage.

What's Curtis's recipe for a healthy marriage, you ask? The actress replies, "I'm not a wild romantic. I'm a realist. I respect him. And I don't leave," _ so keeping it real!

"I looked at the man on the right, wearing a plaid shirt and a waggish smirk. I'd never seen him before, but I pointed at him. 'I'm going to marry that man; I said to my friend," Jamie revealed. Curtis, who knew that Guest was "the one," was ballsy enough to pass on her number to the This Is Spinal Tap actor via a medium. But Guest never called, well, not immediately; the Halloween fame went about her life and started dating a man when Guest rang her number.
