The 1906 build is currently divided into three separate units totaling four bedrooms and has a two-car garage, a communal laundry room, a shared patio, and an avocado tree in the yard outside. The iconic house, which is located in the Library/Mission West district, had been in the same family for three generations.
Curtis wrote a heartfelt essay about her connection to theHalloweenfranchise for PEOPLE last year, after the release of her finalHalloweenfilm,Halloween Ends.
“Everything good in my life can be traced back to Laurie,” she wrote. “I was with the writer of the originalHalloweenwhen I saw my husband of 37 years for the first time.”
“Debra Hill and I were on my couch in West Hollywood in 1984. I opened up an issue ofRolling Stone, saw Christopher Guest in aSpinal Tapstory and said, “I’m gonna marry that guy.” (I did, six months later.)”
In addition to meeting her husband, Curtis also met director John Landis, to whom she connects many of her early iconic roles.

“As I write this, I keep connecting the dots,” she added. “If I hadn’t been inHalloween, I wouldn’t have met John Landis, the director who put me inTrading Placesand showed the world I can be funny. That got meA Fish Called Wanda. That led toTrue Lies, which led toFreaky Friday. Dot connected, dot connected.”
