The AARP profile notes that Curtis "began to scale down her acting career to devote more time to raising her two children" in the mid-90s. In recent years, Curtis has appeared in more blockbuster movies again. She reprised her role as Laurie Strode in the 2018 "Halloween" sequel, and also costarred in 2019's hit murder-mystery movie "Knives Out."
