Subject: Actor and Heartthrob Tony Curtis Passes Away

Written By: LyricBoy on 09/30/10 at 6:42 am

Tony Curtis, famous not only as an actor and ladies man, but also as the father of Activia spokeswoman Jamie Lee Curtis, passed away yesterday. He was 85.

Curtis (born Bernard Schwartz in 1925, in the Bronx) was legendary for the bevy of beauties with whom he had partied.  Marilyn Monroe, Yvonne DeCarlo, and Natalie Wood are amongst his many girlfriends.  That's in addition to his six wives.   :o

Odd... I always confused him with Eddie Fisher who also made his final exit this week.  :-\\

I always refer to him as "Stony Curtis" because of the Flintstones. (I also refer to Cary Grant as Cary Granite because of the same reason.)

One of my all-time favorite movies is Some Like it Hot. I have seen it a million and one times and still laugh. It is just a timeless classic. He did live a long life but my thoughts do go out to his family & of course Jamie Lee (who is one of my favorite actresses). The world has lost a great talent.  :\'( :\'( :\'(

I saw this sad news on tv last night. My 18 rear old daughter commented..."Hey, that's the guy from The Great Race".  So...he was known by different generations.

I personnally enjoyed his acting in movies such as Taras Bulba, The Great Race, Some Like It Hot, Trapeze etc. I also enjoyed his stint on TV in the series The Persuaders (with Roger Moore). They were older then but it was a fun series to watch....

Sad news. He was one of the famous ones from the 50s and 60s.
