Freaky Friday with Jamie Lee.

Just finished watching the movie Halloween.

This one is the sequel which was released on the 20th year anniversary of the very first Halloween, in which Laurie, played by Jamie Lee Curtis, now headmistress of a boarding school, finally chopped off Mike Myers' head with an axe after she drove the ambulance van down a hill.

Michael got pinned between the van and a tree trunk, and was pleading with Laurie to save him. Laurie looked at his eyes and was reaching for his extended hands.

Their hands touched briefly. And Laurie called out "MICHAEL" and with one massive raising of the axe, chopped the "evil's" head off.

This movie is old, released in 1998, on the 2oth anniversary of the first Halloween which was released in 1978.

The original Halloween was Jamie Lee Curtis' first movie starring role. Apparently, she was not the first choice to play the heroine Laurie; and that it helped that she's the daughter of Janet Leigh of the "Pyscho" fame.

The next time I saw Jamie Lee was in the 1988 movie A Fish Called Wanda - with that unforgettable scene in which she and John Cleese were supposed to make love and she stripped down to her panties and bra.

Also unforgettable was the court scene in which Archie (John Cleese), George's lawyer, was cross examining a witness, Wanda (Jamie Lee) and kept on fumbling as they were already lovers (Wanda seduced him to find out where George moved the loot from the jewelry heist). So Cleese kept on saying " Wanda, I won..da..." since his wife was one of the spectators inside the court.

Then Jamie Lee starred as the wife of Arnold Schwarzenegger in the movie True Lies. Here, she played Helen, wife to Arnold's Harry Tasker character. She was a suburban housewife mistaken to be a cheating wife by Harry, a spy. In this movie, Jamie Lee reprised the sexy bra and panty scene reminiscent of what she did in A Fish Called Wanda, when her husband (Arnold) duped her into doing a seductive strip act.

I saw Jamie Lee in yet another comedy, as mother to Lindsay Lohan in Freaky Friday, wherein Mom and daughter were switched bodies through a magic spell and Anna (Lindsay) had to cope with the neurotic patients of her psychiatric Mom and Tess (Jamie Lee) had to cope with daughter Anna's boyfriend.

No panty and bra scene for Jamie Lee in this one.

Jamie Lee is 51 years old. And happens to look naughtily girlish and sexy.
