Annie Guest was born on December 13, 1986 (per Very Celeb). Jamie Lee Curtis adopted Annie in 1986 soon after she was born in an open adoption. In an interview for Pact’s Point of View, the actor discussed her fertility struggles and how she and husband Christopher Guest met Annie’s birth mother.
Motherhood was a life-changing experience for the actor. In 1993, Annie inspired Curtis to write her first book, “When I Was Little: A Four-Year-Old’s Memoir of Her Youth.” “She walked into my office, all petulant and sweet, and announced that ‘when I was little I used to wear diapers, but now I use the potty,’” the Halloween actor reminisced about Annie when she was four (per Education and Career News). “The idea that she had thought about her life in the past,” Curtis mused, “when she was really just four, made me smile.” Immediately, Curtis had the book’s title and a draft of the story, in the form of a list comparing all the new skills her daughter had acquired. A few years later, Curtis drew on the experience of adopting Annie for her children’s book, “Tell Me Again About the Night I Was Born” (per Parents). In their review of the book, Publisher’s Weekly praised its honest approach to the topic, writing, “Curtis deftly addresses the logistics of adoption in a matter-of-fact manner that radiates love and reassurance.”

In July 2019, Annie Guest married Jason Wolf in Jamie Lee Curtis and Christopher Guest’s backyard (per People). To celebrate the day, she wore a breathtaking Zac Posen gown with dramatic puffed sleeves. With beaming smiles, Guest and her mother posed for a photo, which Curtis later shared on Instagram. “A spectacular celebration yesterday at our home for the marriage between our daughter Annie and Jason Wolf. A loving, familial blending with laughs and tears and truth. Proudest MOB.”
Aside from milestone moments, Guest is seldom seen on social media. Even though she grew up in with parents in “show off business” (Curtis’ term), Guest values a quieter, more private life (per The Things). However, she and her sister Ruby still join their mom on the red carpet. Recently, Curtis posted an Instagram picture at the premiere of “Halloween Ends.” Standing between her daughters, Curtis captioned the photo, “My family. Proudest mother. Loving support.” A day later, the whole family stepped out together again when Curtis was honored with a hand and footprint ceremony at Hollywood’s TCL Chinese Theatre (per Pop Sugar). During her speech, Curtis thanked her family, saying, “I am proud to be the wife of Christopher Guest. I am so proud to be the parent of Annie Guest and Ruby, and I’m really proud to be a friend to so many people who share everything with me: good, bad, hard, soft, joyful, tragic. Because that’s the beautiful part of life.”
