Jamie Lee bore a striking resemblance to her late mother with her short wet hair styled in the same manner and both sharing similar facial features.

Janet died in October 2004 in Los Angeles aged 77. She had daughters Jamie Lee and Kelly with ex-husband Tony Curtis.

She was nominated for an Oscar for her performance in Psycho and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress.

Janet went to great lengths to avoid showers for the rest of her life after being traumatized by the movie's iconic shower scene.

Psycho is considered as a pioneer in the slasher film genre and has been referenced numerous times including the 1978 horror film Halloween that starred Jamie Lee.

Jamie Lee has joined the horror-comedy anthology series Scream Queens that will debut on September 22 on Fox.
