Jamie Lee Curtisis saying goodbye to the beloved character with the release of .“It’s very emotional,” Curtis tells ET. “I said a farewell to a group of people that I've made three movies with.

I've said farewell to a woman who I've inhabited for 44 years.”  Curtis has played Laurie -- Michael Myers’ number one nemesis — since the franchise made its debut in 1978. “I mean, it's so cray cray for me,” she says. “The privilege of that and the honoring of Lauri Strode and her journey has been very emotional, very painful and satisfying because a whole new group of people are on the ride.”  Laurie and Michael, along with some of the franchise’s other original characters, went head-to-head again in 2021’s, and Curtis believes that Laurie surviving the long-standing feud between her and the knife-wielding slasher is a big part of the franchise's success.  “It’s because of her,” she adds. “She and Michael are good versus evil.

I think everybody in the world, we're seeing a lot of evil today in the world.” In place of all of the bad, though, Curtis is keeping up with her long-standing partnership with the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and participating in the 7th annual Make March Matter campaign.“I'm born and raised in the City of Angels.

The city of Los Angeles is coming together as a community to Make March Matter for Children's Hospital Los Angeles,” she says about the campaign.
