Jamie Lloyd is a fictional character in the Halloween franchise and the main protagonist of Halloween 4 and 5 and also appears in a less prominent role in Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers. The character was created by Alan B. McElroy and portrayed by actress Danielle Harris in the fourth and fifth films of the series, while J.C. Brandy portrays her in the sixth. The character was created after Jamie Lee Curtis declined to return as Laurie Strode for the fourth film due to not wanting to continue her participation in the film. As a result, her character was written out and died in a car accident, which is briefly explained in the film. Originally, the character was named Brittany "Britti" Lloyd. Britti's name was later changed to Jamie, a homage to Laurie Strode actress Jamie Lee Curtis. The fourth film introduced Laurie's daughter, Jamie Lloyd. As the daughter of Laurie, she is also the niece of infamous serial killer Michael Myers and his first victim, Judith Myers.
