Early life

Kelly Curtis was born in Santa Monica, California, the oldest child of actors Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh. Her younger sister is actress Jamie Lee Curtis. Her paternal grandparents were Hungarian-Jewish immigrants and two of her maternal great-grandparents were Danish. The rest of her mother’s ancestry is German and Scots-Irish. She has four half-siblings, from her father's remarriages, Alexandra Curtis; Allegra Curtis; Nicholas Curtis, who died of a drug overdose; and Benjamin Curtis.[citation needed]

Curtis' first appearance on the silver screen was as a young girl in the United Artists action/adventure The Vikings (1958) starring her parents. Her parents divorced in 1962, and her mother later married Robert Brandt.[citation needed]

In 1978, she graduated from Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York with a degree in business. She worked briefly as a stockbroker.

Career

Curtis studied acting at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute. An article in the Los Angeles Times of July 28, 1982, about the play Say Goodnight, Gracie reads, in part, "Kelly Curtis is Ginny, sadly resigned to not being smart but smartly settled for honest responses. Here, writing and performance transcend one-note designation. Seated quietly, Curtis delivers a touching monologue that would have been the heart of another and better play, rather than a disarming moment of inspired simplicity." She played the role as Shirley in the comedy Magic Sticks (1987) and starred in the leading role as Miriam Kreisl in the horror film The Devil's Daughter (1991).

On September 14, 1989, she and playwright/producer Scott Morfee (born 1954) were married. The couple were then working together on his play with music, Shout and Twist, which she was not only appearing in, but producing.

Curtis was a regular cast member in the role as Lieutenant Carolyn Plummer during the first season of the crime/action television series The Sentinel (1996). Her guest appearances on TV include roles on The Renegades (1983), Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993), and Judging Amy (1999). She has worked as a production assistant on Freaky Friday (2003), Christmas with the Kranks (2004), and You Again (2010).
