For the first decade of her career Leigh appeared as the stereotypical “nice girl.” She was cast opposite some of the industry’s biggest names including Robert Mitchum in Holiday Affair, Stewart Granger in Scaramouche, James Stewart in The Naked Spur, and Charlton Heston in Touch of Evil. Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho supplied her most memorable role: Marion Crane, who is murdered before the picture is half over. The part earned Leigh an Academy Award nomination. From 1951 to 1962, Leigh was married to favorite co-star Tony Curtis. They had two daughters, Kelly and Jamie Lee Curtis, both of whom followed in their parents’ professional footsteps. This book reveals and reflects upon Janet Leigh’s life and career and also extensively analyzes her films and television appearances.
