In 1984, Christopher Guest was a young actor fresh off the success of the recently released film "This is Spinal Tap." That spring, the cast was profiled in an article for Rolling Stone magazine, which happened to catch the eye of Jamie Lee Curtis (via Oprah.com). She was just 25 years old at the time (Guest was 36), and had risen to fame through her starring role in the "Halloween" horror film series released a few years earlier. Curtis gave her agent instructions to give Guest her phone number, but she didn't hear back from him for months. After a chance meeting that summer, Guest finally gave her a call, and they immediately started dating.
Within months, they were in love, Curtis shared in an essay for O, The Oprah Magazine in 2004 (via TODAY), and they kept the relationship going even when Guest went to New York City to film a season of "Saturday Night Live." They got married on December 18, 1984, just over five months after their first date. They are well into their third decade of marriage today, and they are still deeply in love.
In a 2021 interview with People magazine, Curtis talked about how strong their relationship was and how calming Guest's presence was for her. She frequently shares tributes on her personal Instagram, and the couple looks poised to add a fourth decade to their already long-lasting marriage.
