Jamie Lee Curtis — Halloween
Jamie Lee Curtis is known to the world as the ultimate scream queen thanks to her roles in horror movies. The most successful franchise the actress took part in was Halloween. She was cast in the film thanks to the fact that she was the daughter of Psycho actress Janet Leigh.
At that time, Curtis was just an aspiring actress, so she earned only $8,000. Who knew that she would become one of the most famous actresses in this genre and would participate in many parts of this franchise?

Gotta love how 150.000 Dollars in the 90s are a "small fee". I could live of that small fee for two years, today, and even better than I currently do with (actually quite good) salary.

I was all set to play "shepherd #2" in my primary schools nativity play, but one little upchuck incident and suddenly the part goes to Lucas... that brown-nosing little grasshole.

Jeff Daniels is so much better an actor than Jim Carey.
