Jamie Lee Curtis and Christopher Guest met when they were both up-and-comers. As Curtis wrote for Oprah.com, she and "Halloween" producer and co-writer Debra Hill were looking through a magazine one day when they flipped the page to a photograph of three men. "I looked at the man on the right, wearing a plaid shirt and a waggish smirk. I'd never seen him before, but I pointed at him. 'I'm going to marry that man,' I said to my friend," the actor revealed. She was just 25 years old at the time, but Curtis immediately knew the man, Guest, was the one. Hill passed her buddy's number on to his agent but, unfortunately, Guest never called her.
The horror breakout eventually started dating somebody else, but it didn't feel right. He left on a business trip and, after dropping him off at the airport with a "friendly but final goodbye," Curtis headed back to Hollywood to grab dinner in a local restaurant. Suddenly, "I glanced up and found myself staring straight at Chris, three tables away. He waved to me as if to say, 'I'm the guy you called.' I waved back: 'I'm the woman who called you.' A few minutes later, he got up to leave. Standing 20 feet away, he shrugged his shoulders and put up his hand as if to say, 'I'll see ya'." Guest called the next day and, just a few months later, they were married.
