American actress Janet Leigh will always be remembered most for her bone-chilling 1960 "shower scene" in Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, where she's stabbed to death while in the nude. She appeared in other classics as well, however, including the 1949 film version of Little Women, the original Manchurian Candidate with Frank Sinatra, and Orson Welles' masterpiece Touch of Evil.

Jamie Lee Hughes?!
On loan from MGM, Leigh appeared in some films for RKO, whose owner Howard Hughes was said to have displayed some personal interest in the budding actress. But Leigh ultimately married actor Tony Curtis, who she starred with in three films and parented future actresses Kelly and Jamie Lee Curtis with as well. -
