Like Aykroyd, Jamie Lee Curtis was already a big star when she made My Girl—heck, she had been in Halloween I (1978), II (1981), and had an uncredited cameo in III (1982). Anyone who wasn’t already a Curtis fan after her hilarious roles in Trading Places (1983; opposite Mr. Aykroyd) and A Fish Called Wanda (1988) probably became one after this movie, in which she played the mortuary makeup artist Shelly DeVoto who fell for Vada’s funeral director father.
