Jamie Lee knew how to use what she was born with from an early age. She almost always knew how to present the best version of herself to others. She became popular in school despite insecurities, poor grades, and a difficult relationship with her biological father.
She had no plans on becoming an actress when she entered college but was convinced to try out for Nancy Drew. She didn’t get the part but eventually found bigger and better roles.
Jamie Lee earned two memorable nicknames throughout her career. Her breakout role in Halloween and the other horror characters that followed led her to be known as the Scream Queen. Her impressive legs and bust also gave her the moniker of The Body.
This flattering name didn’t prevent her from feeling unsatisfied with her looks. A disparaging comment from a cameraman led her to get plastic surgery on her eyes. That decision spiraled into an opioid addiction after she was prescribed Vicodin to ease the pain. She kept it a secret from her family and fans for several years until deciding to reveal it as a way to help others who were struggling.
Jamie Lee recognizes how her parents' notoriety helped her career but she managed to become an icon in her own right. She's earned several Golden Globes and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Today, she continues to act but has found other passions to pursue as well. She writes children’s books, gives to charities, and enjoys time with her family. Her impact on Hollywood and the world at large will be remembered forever.
