Jamie Lee Curtis has signed a document confirming that Halloween Ends will be the last time she plays Laurie Strode in the horror-movie franchise.
The actress, 63, was asked to put pen to paper during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday as she promoted the 13th instalment of the slasher flicks about serial killer Michael Myers.
Host Kimmel, 54, pulled out a document titled “I declare this is my last Halloween movie” for Curtis to sign after playing Laurie in six previous Halloween films.
“Don’t do it!” a member of the audience screamed.
“I should call my lawyer first before I sign anything,” Curtis said, hesitating before picking up a pen and signing her name to make it official.
Curtis made her movie debut in the very first Halloween film back in 1978 when her now-iconic character was still in high school.
She admitted, however, that felt quite emotional about saying goodbye to the character and franchise that she has been synonymous with for more than 40 years.
“I’ve been weeping for about a month now trying to figure out how to say goodbye to all of this,” she told Kimmel.
When he asked why playing Laurie for the last time was such a big deal to her, she turned the table by asking how he would feel if he had to say goodbye to his crew and show.
“It’s a little different because no one is chasing me around with a knife,” Kimmel shot back.
Halloween Ends will be released in UK cinemas on Friday (October 14).
The screen legend also revealed that, on Wednesday, she will imprint her hands and feet into cement on Hollywood Boulevard, to go with her Hollywood Walk Of Fame star that she received in 1998.
Kimmel asked if she intended to take her shoes off when doing it.
“They actually ask you to leave your shoes,” Curtis explained. “The barefoot thing also is a little weird. Also, the concrete shrink,s which is why all of us think that old-timey movie stars had really, really tiny feet.”
