Curtis’s career continues to thrive. She reprised her role as Laurie Strode in Halloween sequels and earned critical acclaim for her performance in Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022), which won her an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Her dedication to her craft and ability to reinvent herself keep her relevant in the ever-changing Hollywood landscape.
