Laurie Strode is a fictional character in the Halloween franchise by John Carpenter and Debra Hill. She debuted in the original 1978 film as a high school student who becomes targeted by serial killer Michael Myers / The Shape on Halloween night, who also becomes her arch-nemesis. Laurie is generally considered the main protagonist of the series, with later films revealing Michael to be her older brother, although this detail is not present in the first film and disregarded by the current continuity, in which the Shape views her as She Who Will Not Die.[1] She has also appeared in various media outside of the films. The character is primarily portrayed by Jamie Lee Curtis, who appears as Laurie in the original film and subsequent entries set in its continuity. In the films directed by Rob Zombie, she is played by Scout Taylor-Compton. Academic materials widely cite Laurie as one of the earliest and most influential examples of the "final girl" slasher film archetype.
