Jamie Lee Curtis Is So Much More Than Just a Horror Legend

Pulling into the driveway of Jamie Lee Curtis' house on the west side of Los Angeles, I am met by her dog Runi, a rescue terrier-poodle that bounds down the stairs like an animated ball of fluff, tail wagging. Curtis is not far behind, striding down to meet me warmly as if we are already old friends. She's tall and trim, and her gaze is intense--in a good way. Upstairs in her kitchen, she fixes a cappuccino and pours me a tall glass of mint water and we start talking.
