Jamie Lee Curtis feels "good in my skin, in my mind" and "in my body" in her 60s.

Jamie Lee Curtis has insisted her career was not "handed to [her] on a plate." The 63-year-old actress is the daughter of late Hollywood legends Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh but has often felt "oppressed" by the notion that her own successful career in film is down to her family connections. She said: "The only thing I’ve ever found oppressive was people thinking that my career was all because of my family, all connected to having Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis as parents. That whatever little ecosystem I’d created had somehow been handed to me on a plate. That’s the perception I had to fight agai...

John Carpenter wouldn't be surprised to see the 'Halloween' franchise continue after 'Halloween Ends'. The final chapter of David Gordon Green's trilogy, which is set to mark Jamie Lee Curtis' final appearance as Laurie Strode, will be released later this year but Carpenter thinks there will be a desire for even more films if it proves to be a hit with audiences. John, who directed the original 1978 horror classic, told a panel at Pennsylvania's Steel City Convention: "I didn't expect there to be a sequel (to 'Halloween'). The movie business is ruled by money. "(The first) 'Halloween' made so ...

The 62-year-old actress - who first played Laurie Strode in John Carpenter's 1978 original - believes that, unlike other scary movies she refused to name, the slasher films do not rely on trickery to scare the audience. Speaking to the US edition of OK!, she said: "What sets them apart is there is not a lot of deep fake. There’s not a lot of CGI, unlike other horror movies. I don’t need to name them, but there are so many." The 'A Fish Called Wanda' star...

David Gordon Green has suggested that 'Halloween Ends' will be a "much more intimate" movie than its predecessor 'Halloween Kills'. The 46-year-old director has helmed the latest trilogy in the slasher franchise and has claimed that the concluding part – which is slated for release next year – will pay homage to John Carpenter, who directed the original 'Halloween' film in 1978. David told the Empire Spoiler Special Podcast: "There's not a lot of games in it, there's not a lot of wittiness and retro joy. "It's kind of a coming-of-age film, and it's a very different tone. And that's what excite...

Jamie Lee Curtis has suggested that the 'Halloween' franchise could continue after the latest trilogy. The 62-year-old actress returns to the role of Laurie Strode in the latest movie in the long-running slasher series, 'Halloween Kills', and refuses to declare the end of the story as it remains popular.

Because if I'd said never, I wouldn't have made these films, which have this global reach and which a...
