      Tony Curtis is one of the best actors of all time. So is his wife Janet Leigh and daughter Jamie Lee Curtis. They lived long enough to see Jamie succeed into the movie Industry. Janet was 77 when she passed in 2004 and Tony was 85 when he passed in 2010. I thank Jamie's Parents and John Carpenter for her successful career as an actress

    What a wonderful actor he was! Very striking looking and big box office for a long time! Great humor. I could listen to him reminisce about his movies for hours! Dave is a great interviewer, let's his guests speak without cutting them off and quick with a laff. So glad I saw this! Thanks!

    The G.I. Bill, this was back when our country truly supported their people, and, after WW2, had their servicemen set up for their future. Oh, I wish I could see the country headed that direction now ~ where we all had some level of care and respect for one another.
    Curtis is an incredible man, as he is one of the men that worked his way to the top. He truly paid his dues ~ huge, huge respect for this man.

      GI Bill still exists and works quite well - I don't know what you're talking about.
      Did you not serve or did you not talk to a College Tuition Advisor? ...or a Veterans Affairs Admin.?
      .
      Yeah, Bets get lots of support - if they look just a little...very little.

      Race pride is BAAL , false idolatry . Ancestor worship is a primitive religion and anti Christ . America is a country that does not need division that conquers us . One nation under God , to stand STRONG against the perverted enemies of Jesus Christ . If people were obedient to their Father in Heaven , Tony's brother and Rodney Dangerfield wouldn't have been molested by men . Pride is a sin , and the sin of Sodom is looking at people with haughty eyes ,and loving the creation more than the creator . Tony 's accomplishments are HIS , and all blessings come from God . We all come from Adam , and the three sons of Noah . Tony adopted a little girl , how have the rest of us served The Holy and Pure Creator today ? Don't try to divide our American country , we are all sinners - some of us saved by the blood of the Lamb Jesus , and some of us repentant in His name . Bolchevism bad . Balkanisation is division and weakens us .

    I was 13 when I first saw him in a film called, the prince who was a thief! I fell hard for him, and never stopped. When he came to London where I grew up for a charity event with Janet Leigh, my friend and I waited outside. He didn’t have time to give an autograph but they were so nice!! That night we went to wait outside their hotel where other fans were. He came outside and I was able to touch his face and got his autograph. I was 13 and my friend was 14! Tony was a lovely man!

    The essence of cool. I cried as a kid when he as Harry Houdini died. He was a self made man and became a great actor who starred in the golden age of Hollywood Films. Had a great sense of humor. As great a name as it was and top shelf among cartoonphiles, he only appeared in the Flintstones one time as Stony Curtis!.

    Just watched Tony Curtis & Frank Sinatra in Kings go Forth. What splendid acting by these screen giants - Tony was such a professional he could up the quality of acting standards of all seriously good actors he worked with m. Tony was/is an Acting Legend.
    He loved Gunda Din, as did I, my love, particularly, was with Rudyard Kipling. However, Tony’s presence, on screen outshone his handsome features - that’s saying something.
    Let’s show love & respect for those serious actors, who may have clowned around, but put their ALL into reflecting life’s rich pageant on screen.
    All my love,
    Jane Russell

    The story is....Curtis pulled up to the school in the limousine, saw Matthau, rolled down the window and yelled "I JUST FUCKED YVONNE DECARLO!" and sped off (DeCarlo shared a dancing scene with Curtis in 'Criss-Cross.') Matthau confirmed this story as well.
