It has been 40 years since Jamie, 59, made her movie debut in the original Halloween film, which is available to watch on NOW TV, and she’s reprised her role as Laurie Strode in Halloween (1978) Halloween II (1981), Halloween H20 (1998), Halloween: Resurrection (2002) and now the latest installment.
