Jamie Lee Curtis and her husband Christopher Guest have two daughters through adoption, Annie Guest and Ruby Guest. Curtis' parents are actors Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis, and she followed in their footsteps. After starring in the iconic slasher Halloween in 1978, Curtis became known for her work in the franchise and other horror films. However, she is also famous for her work in Freaky Friday, Knives Out, and Everything Everywhere All At Once, the latter of which earned her an Academy Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award. She also won two Golden Globes for her performances in Anything But Love and True Lies.
Curtis and Christopher Guest married in 1984, and like Curtis, Christopher Guest has a famous background as he was born into a family of politicians and diplomats while his mother Jean Pauline Hindes worked in casting at CBS. Christopher Guest is known for directing movies including Best in Show, A Mighty Wind, For Your Consideration, and Mascots. He is also the winner of an Emmy for writing for The Lily Tomlin Special and a Grammy for A Mighty Wind. Outside of directing, Christopher Guest has also appeared in films including This Is Spinal Tap, Little Shop of Horrors, The Princess Bride, and Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian.
Annie Guest Did Not Become An Actor Like Her Parents
While both of Annie Guest's parents are heavily involved in the film industry and her grandparents were also actors, she decided not to pursue the family profession. However, even though she did not follow her parents' path in Hollywood, Annie Guest is still involved with the arts and clearly has her parents' creative energy. Instead of acting, Annie Guest is an accomplished dancer and an instructor at MNR Dance Factory, a dance studio in Los Angeles.
Annie Guest is not a public figure, so there is very little information about her past small details her parents have shared. Occasionally, she does attend industry events with her parents, especially if her parents are up for any awards. When Curtis won the Best Supporting Actress award at the 2023 Oscars, she gave a shout-out to her family in her acceptance speech, saying, "To my family, my beautiful husband, Christopher Guest, our daughters, Annie and Ruby ... we just won an Oscar."
Annie Guest Does Have Other Connections To The Film Industry
In 2019, Annie Guest married Jason Wolf at her family's home, and on Instagram, Curtis called the wedding "a spectacular celebration." While Wolf appears to stay out of the spotlight like his wife, he is credited with being a producer on TV shows including Paranormal Declassified, Undercover Boss, and Legend of the Lost with Megan Fox. Like her husband, Annie Guest has also worked behind the scenes, and she is credited as "Additional Crew" on her father's movie For Your Consideration. While Annie Guest is not an actor like her parents, it is clear she has picked the path that she wants in life by pursuing her passions.
