Coming out of rehab was the best time to interview Tony Curtis. He was ready to be brutally honest.
Demasiado torpe e injusto en varias de sus expresiones.
Marilyn is a legend while Curtis was a second rater.
Some Like It Hot is one of my favorite movies. Tony, Marilyn & Jack were outstanding in it!
Not to mention Joe E. Brown!
It never gets old!!
Agree!
I love that movie😊
I watch it at least once a year. Jack and Tony were able to hold the scene with Marilyn who was definitely a scene stealer. You can't help but stare at her when she's on the screen. Love that movie. And the great George Raft.
It was nice to see Tony Curtis while he was sober and articulate. A great actor and very charismatic.
Yes, he looks good here and very articulate. I always liked him. At least as an actor. He’s correct, he was a professional.
🎉@@Melinda8162He was a heavy drug user and high most of the time.
And he got to meet Lady Gaga
@@Melinda8162 Totally agree with you.
@@Channelofages haha that's not Lady Gaga lol
Let`s begin with the fact that I am almost into my nineties, so MAYBE I am a little biased. I remember vividly Tony Curtis when he was in his prime, and all the young guys wanted to be like him. Truthfully, he has always been one of my heroes. He had EVERYTHING, Good looks, a great personality, and he was possibly the most Charismatic "Leading Man" that post war Hollywood has ever produced. Watching this interview brought it all back to me. I don`t think there is ONE top star in todays world who is his equal. I would just like to take this opportunity to say a HUGE "Thank You" to one of Hollywood`s true Legends for the absolute pleasure that he brought to MY generation
I think you are biased. I do not dispute his talent. But it has been authenticated- NOT mere gossip, that he was a lousy, unfaithful philandering husband and an absent and neglectful father. Like Lucile Ball, Curtis may have been a great talent (Lucy’s BRILLIANCE is legendary) but he was unkind, self centered and entitled.
@@vittoriopassanante2601 Everyone is entitled to have an opinion. To some people the glass is half full, to others it is half empty!!!
"Some like it Hot"
Now that is a absolute Classic...
Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis & Jack Lemmon were just sublime in it...
👏 😍👏😍👏😍
I like Tony Curtis because he was a direct and an authentic person. He was a great actor too.
A lot of people who have been through rehab develop a brutal honesty
👍🏻❤️
But according to his daughter Jaime, he was not a good father.
His daughter is just like him.
exactly, love his authenticity
I was annoyed with other women for not allowing him to talk. The host did a good job by letting him talk. We missed few golden opportunities there to listen to him. What a charismatic intelligent man.
Exactly. He was saying something good and she buts in with her nonsense
Love Tony Curtis' honesty here. It may not seem ground breaking watchjng in 2024, but for the time period it happened it was huge.
Ohhh, that level of honesty and ability to articulate where one is life....very rare to see. Thanks Tony
I remember going to Harrods for a meal in the top restaurant back in 1995, I was with a friend who was visiting another friend in hospital. Sitting at the table next to us was Tony Curtis, it was amazing listening to him talking to his guests.
I can just imagine you there with your ear-horn.
Tony Curtis is a New Yorker. These people are extremely witty and know how to express themselves. Certain cities produce people who have this ability. In the UK we have scousers from Liverpool; cockneys from the East End in London; and Scotland's Glaswegians are renowned for their clever repartee. The people of New York belong to this same clan.
Actually its also his jewish humor.
@@natali2able yes definitely!
I appreciate the interviewer just letting Tony speak. The actor was in top form here.
The interviewer let him talk because he lost control of the interview. Especially at the end when Tony thank everybody on the set and the audience but didn't mention the interviewer, he rarely looked at him while talking.
Lots of insight on that body language.
@@helen5852 I think you’re reading into it a little bit. I think the interviewer felt, hey…Curtis is on a roll, he’s delivering tremendous entertainment and insights into Hollywood…I’m just going to step out of the way and let him do his thing.
This is one with Tony I think I’ve ever seen. 😀
He is really condescending…..
@@user-cc1po6ud9h He’s an actor, for crying out loud. Do you want him to behave like Sister Teresa?
I am glad I came across this. Tony is awesome here. No acting, this a real deal.
😮 Hello, what was there about Elvis❓❓
I remember when I read this book on MM , I remember Tony Curtis saying and I quote " kissing Marilyn Monroe was like kissing a barracuda " :)
Back when a celebraty panel could have a decent, honest conversation. He was quite a cultured man ( not totally primative as he said), and very fine painter.
Didn't realize that Tony Curtis was so dynamic what a great person to interview. He's all of what human beings are. He was a great actor.
I miss actors like Tony Curtis. Him, Jack Lemon, Walter Matthau etc. The Golden Age!
Stars were better looking in general back then...looked healthier... Tony Curtis, Cary Grant, Barbara Eden, Liz Taylor, Elizabeth Montgomery,Nancy Sinatra, Dawn Wells, Peter Breck, Elvis, Robert Conrad...all that without botox...sigh..
Agree! Back then the actors had talent. They didn't need any words to express emotions or even reply.
@@RC-eb5hqthey are no more stars like those guys they all gone now. The actors today are not stars
@@RC-eb5hq Add Jimmy Stewart, Clark Gabel, and Joan Crawford to that list of talent
I miss all those old stars too. They’re the Hollywood actors I will remember….. not the actors of today.
Tony Curtis looks so good without that horrendous wig he wore later in life. RIP Tony ,your movies i enjoyed so much.
his hairstyle was copied by millions of men in the 60s. it was called the tony curtis hairstyle esp the curl in front :)
It was a toupe.
Looks like the host has a toupee on?
@@jessiejames7492 NOT any of the men I knew back then !!! LOL!!! No they didnt! lol
@@sitcom1971😊 No, that was Michael Aspel''s own hair
Tony was the absolute best! So real and down to earth
Tony Curtis was up there with the greats ... a fine actor in his time.
Tony Curtis-clever, quick-witted guy… seems pretty lovable, too 😊
Tony Curtis was a star when there really were stars in the old studio system. Almost everyone from that era is gone,
Whiw - so now is jewish. I bet also John Waine would claim he' s lewish,
I met Tony in Las Vegas . He was funny and teased me . I loved it ( also signed an autograph ) !
I saw him in a restaurant in Vegas and he seemed very pleasant to everyone who approached him. I had to explain to my kids that he was a real, A-list actor.
ooooo ❤❤❤❤❤
Curtis was going to talk about Elvis Presley before the blonde butted in, now that would have been interesting.
Who cares what she had to say!
@@pauletteyoung112 Her husband Billy Connelly, but I guess he was drinking then. God she is gobby
Pamela Stephenson, for a psychologist, she sure was clueless here 🙄
@@Charlie_Crown I agree. Wished she'd shut up. Most likely starstruck. That can make someone get quiet--or gabby. She nearly ruined the whole interview.
@@Charlie_Crown Is she the one with the silly hat on?
On one of my trips to LA with friends, we were having dinner in a restaurant called Nicki Blairs; and he was sitting with a group behind us. He came to our table to say hello in passing and he was so gracious to us. A lovely memory I have of him.
Did he point to your plate and ask "are you gonna finish that?" Cuz that's a dead giveaway right there.
I can't see a thing attractive about him
He seems like a nice guy so why wasn't he nice to his kids ? He named each of his children in his will, just to make sure that each kid knew that he wasn't leaving them any of his money or his possessions. Heartless and mean.
@@danny1682 He seems like a narcissist. I know that word is overused and abused but he really does.
@@nicholenoel349 Do you mean in this interview or even when Tony was younger?
THAT'S a classic Hollywood star. Engaging, entertaining, verbose, literate, whimsical, anecdotal....
Quite a guy!
...completely self-absorbed, domineering, and rude.
@@jjsmith3302 Right! Jackie Collins barely had a word, the other Female guest?
@@comfeefort You are seeing a snippet of a longer interview and you make a silly judgement. With that interviewer each guest gets their own individual time to shine with the focus on them. Some want to steal back the spotlight when it's the other's turn but others sit respectfully while they have their turn in the spotlight.
@@comfeefortThis is only his clip. Another clip shows the other guests interviews.
You’ve Gotta love, Tony and Jackie, my God, both of them knew the system, but when Jackie put her hand out that was about respect and affection, mutually felt by both of them
He was sharp as a tack🤙
loved tony,jack and marilyn in some like it hot...classic.
I love this film
Absolutely!!!
I have that movie on a d v d
Tony spoke from the heart. He returned to his orthodox roots which helped bring him back down to earth. R.I.P.
I've never watched Tony Curtis in an interview before- I would definitely like to see more. A shame he was interrupted a few times- wanted to hear more on what he was saying! Thank you for posting this. :)
This is the least smarmy I have ever seen Curtis in an interview. Usually full of innuendo and implied (or otherwise) naughtiness. Possibly because he was freshly sober.
I appreciate Curtis. I ADORE Jack Lemmon.
@@wendybutler1681Yes, Lemon was a wonderful actor. And he and Curtis were genius in ‘Some like it hot’.❤️
Exactly: it's a pity she didn't shut up when he was talking.
Who is the fool in the ridiculous hat?
I think Carson had him on his show as a guest a few times.
Tony Curtis was a good actor and I still enjoy watching his movies. RIP Tony
Tony Curtis is the man I am named after. My father named me Tony because Tony Curtis made a couple of movies about boxers around the time I was born, and my father was a boxer, so he admired Tony Curtis. I turned out to be the academic type, the opposite of a boxer, and a disappointment to my father. However, listening to Tony Curtis here, he has a practical and very down to Earth attitude to life that I can be happy that I am named after him. He owns his imperfections and has worked hard to achieve the things he achieved. I like that.
I doubt you were a disappointment to your father.
Boxing is a mugs game, despite the rare wealthy sane champs, most get destroyed and end up mentally or financially broke....
Not Bernie?
@@artistjoh Loved reading your comment. I'm sure you're father had many qualities, but perhaps he wasn't as eloquent as you and never found the right words to express his pride. Thank you for sharing. 🙂
@@ldavid2528 My father had many very good qualities, but he was also violent, a racist, and misogynist. It is difficult to respect someone who believed that black people should be exterminated, along with gay people. Like many very uneducated people he despised anyone with education. There was no room for pride alongside his bigotry and anger that probably stemmed from feelings of inadequacy. He spent his life lying about his origins. He could never accept that we are ethnically Rromani, He cut his family off, and threatened the life of his brothers with a gun when they wanted to talk to him.
There is a very understandable tendency to think good things about fathers, but not all fathers are equal, and not all fathers are good people. The victims of violence struggle to have respect for the perpetrator. The best I can hope for is to celebrate the good parts of his character that I see in myself, but make certain that the other side of him is buried with him, and never to be repeated in me or my children.
@@artistjoh A huge amount of complexity to untangle; respect.
Tony looks amazing! Fun, articulate and that wonderful shirt and suit! What class
❤❤
Well we all looked pretty good 35 years ago, darlin
Tony has good taste in clothes : )
Blown away by this interview.
‘Sweet Smell of Success’ with Burt Lancaster. Curtis was great. Brilliant movie.
The defiant ones with Sidney Poitier and Tony Curtis is another superb movie.
Yes. Superb.
Couldn't agree more about The Sweet Smell of Success. Great film.
Tony Curtis was always an interesting interview. He loves to talk.
About himself.
Pamela Stephenson didn't seem to realize that her segment was over, and that it was the Aspel show, not hers.
Agree.
She was worried he was going off the rails.
That's who she is...thanks.
@@AlexMc9395 i watched oliver reed on a talk show. An american actress kept interrupting him. He told her’youve had your time madam, now its mine. ! She still was going on. I think he stood up and poured his glass of water on her! That shut her up! Well he warned her!
He was so good in that interview.
@@jessiejames7492 other way round 😊 Shelley Winters poured her water over Ollie.
He changed his tune at the end of his life about Marilyn Monroe and was much more gracious about her.
He stunted his emotional life with drugs and alcohol.
He told the truth here. He never said anything really bad. she was hard to work with.
thats good! she didnt deserve it. robert mitchum was very gracious to the actresses he worked with never a nasty sentiment love him
@@jessiejames7492 Love Robert Mitchum, too; my favorite film with him was The Night of the Hunter. So incredible!
@@trevorthompson330-Totally agree. He really didn’t say anything bad, he was just being honest. He even referred to her as poor Marilyn, and he acknowledged that she had emotional troubles and he was sympathetic, but at the same time you’re there on time ready to work, but you have to wait around four or five hours for her to get herself together. You can be sympathetic and still be frustrated with the situation.
LOVE Tony Curtis, and LOVE how honest and Sincere he was. May he Rest in Eternal Peace.
He was a New York born Jew, who seems like a New York Italian. DEFINATELY A NEW YORKER THROUGH AND THROUGH!!!
A Jewish boy from the Bronx!
Jews and Italians in inner city New York were poor and had similar upbringings.
Yes and he tells it like it was
Looks dashing in all white💓
New Yorker here. Lots of NYC Jews adopt Italian American mannerisms, especially those that grew up in the 20th century.
Had a boss that legitimately believed he was some sort of mobster. Went so far to look and dress the part but was a Jewish guy from Long Island! 😂
Side note: I actually met Tony Curtis at Chiller Theater (google it for details) just about 6 months before he passed away. At that point he was just a jolly old guy that loved meeting his fans. His plastic surgery did not age well. His skin was translucent. At least I can say I met the legend. 11:25
Tony was a genuine human being after dealing with Hollywood. May I add he also served in the military. That in my book is huge and not something you commonly see these days.
@@Midex74driver loads of them did back then. Settle down. He wasn’t exactly Audie Murphy.
@@mrknobchopps
Yup lot of them did back then… not many today… and yeah.. no one is perfect.
Met Tony at Gatwick Airport in 2010 sitting at departure gates quiet and looking very frail. Once I starting talking to him he came alive was very friendly. Had a real glint in his eye. RIP
A real star. R.I.P Tony Curtis
why the blonde interrupted beats me. She derailed it and the brunette ‘’yes but Marilyn Monroe was brilliant’’. Both women missed the point of what he was saying. YES she was but it was usually others who had to pay for it. I wish they just would have let him talk.
That's Pamela Stephenson. She's a psychologist and comedian and Billy Connelly's wife. Speaking of wives.
Christ, chill out!! Curtis was just as interrupting, cutting the other two guests off. Who had just as much right to speak as he did!!
@@ManvasPachenko calm down
Typically trying to further their own careers in front of a "superstar".
Jackie Collins kept derailing the conversation.
His autobiography is well worth a read i enjoyed it very much.
Hie memoir was like having a drink with a good friend who is a fantastic storyteller
whats it called
there are two apparently?
1. Tony Curtis: The Autobiography (1993?)
2. American Prince: A Memoir (2008?)
Spartacus, Some Like it Hot, The Boston Strangler, Operation Petticoat, The Defiant Ones, Sweet Smell of Success to name but a few... There not many actors, living or dead who wouldn't envy a resume like that.
A true mensch...
THE GREAT RACE!!!!!
His best film in descending order were, The sweet smell of success, The Defiant Ones, Some Like it Hot.
@@paulreading8980I could go along with that ...
I couldn't do this job. I tried auditioning for commercials at the age of 19 for a short time and realized I wanted a simple life. It was just too negative for me. I know why people turn to drugs and alcohol. This is a hard industry. All the money in the world means nothing if you can't cope. Not a lot of people make it to old age with their wits and their finances intact.
So agree, I worked in the industry doing bit parts for a couple of years.There was no way to survive without either a wall of alcohol, drugs, or a wall of becomming emotional dead. Everyone wants the others to fail so they themselves feel successful. The true acting is the acting they do to appear they care for fellow performers.
@@photomanwilliams4147Kinda like the acting I did for 40 years: Acted like I wanted to go in to work on a computer in a cubicle every day, even with no sleep, jet lagged, sick with colds and respiratory infections, crippling menstrual cramps, etc. Should have gotten an Oscar!
Tony was a fine actor, who admitted to his flaws as a person...No Hollywood guy was more handsome than Tony, in his earlier days...that promise is a lot to live up to!
Best interview with Curtis I've seen.
He was just about to round off a point and Stephenson cut in. I wanted to hear what he had to say.
She should never have been invited on to interrupt Tony
Love his honesty.Very rare.
Always Danny Wilde to me. RIP Tony and Roger.
Back in the day when TV series were entertaining & fun.
‘The Persuaders’ was such fun to watch. Great chemistry between them.
@@user-fq8rs7rz3ithe persuaders was terrific. Curtis and Moore had great chemistry. And they were friends, contrary to what some people say. And of course,John Barrys theme. Outstanding. I do believe the idea for the persuaders come from an episode of "the saint.' it was an episode with Stuart Damon. He was the American in the show" the champions," were the three were superhuman.
@@LowPlainsDrifter60where do you guys get these ideas? I’m curious because I see many similar comments coming mostly from (white?) men ages 40 to 65. I’m an old lady but I don’t long for the good old days. Where did this originate? From an uncomplicated, basically happy childhood?🤔
@@im-gi2pg If you think TV is better today, then we can but be pleased for you. As for nostalgia, it isn't what it used to be. 🙄
This was a great interview. Delightful, in fact.
Michael Aspel was the best British celebrity interviewer
Great interview, Tony Curtis was such a great actor!
There are very few (if any) Hollywood stars todaY with that kind of personality or charisma.
"That 's not a criticism, just my observation." Good one, Tony. 😃
This really speaks to my early-80’s born, 90’s Nick-at-Nite watching childhood. All of these people still feel so relevant in my world. ❤
A lot of people have said what Tony Curtis said about Marylin: she was temperamental, couldn't remember her lines, constantly late, and so on. While she had great screen presence, there is no denying that. If she was misusing pills, that would only have added to her difficulties.
Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon were so very patient, putting on with MM's behaviour, which was unacceptable - Yves Montand who made one movie with her said she was not respecting her movie partners and he told her to her face.
Clark Gable felt that in the Misfits and Sir Laurence Olivier - said it too.
Yes, well curtis also said in his book "The Making if Some Like it Hot" that he started an affair with Marilyn while they were filming, while they were both married, which resulted in a pregnancy that she miscarried. He always leaves that part out when he rehashes his discriptions of her being difficult. This guy is great at currying favor as a "victim" of impoverished childhood, the Hollywood studio system, and being now sober from drugs and alchohol, but he should have refrained from running his mouth about so many other people, based on his own flawed perception.
@@brt5273 I just read on Wikipedia that Curtis and MM had a brief affair when they were both starting their movie carreer. No mention of an affair while filming SOME LIKE IT HOT
You don't like Curtis, it is a wonder that you even bothered to read his book - The better to criticize him I guess
@@LJ-ht4zs Clark Gable died soon after THE MISFITS ........ What he had to go through during filming didn't help
It's a shame because you never get this kind of honest interview today because you'd be canceled quickly
So true....unfortunately
Refreshing They don't make actors like him anymore. CLASSIC
Natalie Wood could have said the same about Tony and Jack during the making of "The Great Race". They almost drove her nuts.
Please tell us more....( re: Natalie Woods comment )
i suppose some of these big stars get big heads and treat others with less respect?
Absolutely I read that in one of her biographys. This was around the same time she tried to take her life. Don't know if this filming contributed to her stress..
But this is not a clip of Natalie Wood. So, irrelevant comment.
The Great Race! My favorite movie. Rare to hear someone mention it. Natalie Wood only made that movie, because she was promised by the studio that she could do another movie. Good thing.
Tony just told the truth. Pamela, please shut up !!!!!😊
How do YOU know he told the truth? Oh, guess you were there too! 🤣🤣🤣
Well said.
@@PinkPumpkin529in this same interview, Curtis went full disclosure on his rehab. Human discernment tells you he’s telling the truth
Yes, Pamela was a bit of a know it all back in the day and rather irritating.
@@PinkPumpkin529 other actors said it too.
Geez, this is one of the best interviews ever. Tony, indeed, summarized the purpose of life very well.
Was that Jackie Collins?
Great seeing this interview.
Loved him in The Vikings, Spartacus, and of course, Some Like It Hot.
The Sweet Smell of Success is an incredible film and very meaning for our time.
How does she not comprehend,it's utterly disrespectful to not appreciate your co-stars' effort.
Very nice, amusing interview. Tony Curtis is super funny , smart and seems very honest. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Great man and actor. Simply enjoy his movies everyone!
Wow! I misjudged Tony Curtis! He’s a great story teller/speaker and a genuine nice person
Love the banter between Tony Curtis and Jackie Collins about the Hollywood wives. Whenever, he was interrupted, his response was polite and witty. Great actor, and I enjoy his movies.
Laurence Olivier said she was late every day on their movie. Sometimes four and a half hours. But when she was on camera she came alive and magic happened.
Woman just can't let him speak
Triggered Precious Princess Alert
I didn’t realise that men never interrupt each other in conversations.
What do you mean? He dominated the conversation! They had to fight to insert something in 😅
Stop interrupting Tony Curtis please.
Yes I agree. Each guest gets their chance to shine individually first and then they can chat together as a team.
Ya ok. Go back time and try it.... GEEEZZZ feel better bow that you made a ridiculous comment!😏🙄
I know, they are trying to upstage him with laughs and it's beyond annoying.
What did Pamela come as? This is cringe
It's the 80s.
Pamela , what was her surname ?

Always loved this man's work. He was and will always be a Great Actor.
Great interview! Tony was a really down to earth, humane guy, and humorous!
Jaimi Leigh Curtis didn't have much positive to say about her father.
The way he treated her mother was despicable. He was much like Eddie Fisher and Carrie had a lifetime of scars because of it
I love Jaime Leigh Curtis.
Yep. It's fine to love an actor's film work and the actors talent but a mistake to love the individual when they have quite clearly been very nasty through most of their lives. Almost every interview this guy rehashes how horrible it was working with Marilyn, but in one if his books he recounts that during filming he started an affair with her, while they were both married to other people, got her pregnent and she miscarried! He always leaves that out of his little Marilyn diatribes. A totally self centered, self absorbed cad, and people should keep that in mind before gushing over him.
Jaimi Leigh Curtis, The son of Tony Curtis.
@@brt5273Definitely a ‘cad’ and a bad husband and father. Liz Taylor was the exact same but no one points that out very often, why? She drank and drugged and let’s face it was a mediocre actress, but got away with it coz she was beautiful. Curtis at least was a good actor.
@@GoldSniper-ox7rkdaughter!
Tony was a nice guy, I got his phone number from my agent and rang him. I was doing a bunch of paintings of celebrities for charity and said if he posed the money would go to the charity of his choice. He paused and said, " Listen kid, I don't sell hamburger's" after he gently insulted me, we became friends and laughed about it. I eventually did his portrait but not for charity, for him. I have no idea where it is today. Probably one of his children have it. RIP Tony

Do you have an online gallery of your work?
Wow amazing Interview Tony being so honest I liked it very much!
Terrific interview! I have a greater respect for him after seeing this
fabulous interview
He strikes me as very charming but narcissistic (which is not uncommon in Hollywood).
The type of man that would chase a good-looking woman, love-bomb her passionately, then after having his way with her, very quickly lose interest and become callous toward her.
Then quickly resuming going on the prowl looking for his next conquest to chase.
I don't think many women turned him down.
Loved his acting and his movies, but I believe he was toxic to women in his private life.
Sounds accurate! 👍🏼😉
back when talent actually had talent.
What an ignorant thing to say.
People still have talent and actually have better opportunities to showcase it these days because they don’t have studios treating them like a product which is expected to be exactly the same every time.
Genius profound interview from Tony. And he has compassion for poor Marilyn, no matter how difficult she made his life. Absolute legend.
I once met Jackie Collins in person at a bookshop I used to work in Pasadena, California. She was signing her books. I introduced myself to her, and she liked my name so much that she swore she'd use it in a book. I never read her books, so I wonder if she ever did :)
He was great in "The Boston Strangler".
Tony Curtis was his own biggest fan.
Compared to most today- not at all.
Toney was something . You never see any of his movies any more and to me, that's a drag. Two of my all time favorite movies was with Toney. They are the Vikings and when he played Harry Houdini.
Is that blonde chick conducting the interview, or is she just there to keep derailing things?
That blond chick is Pamela Stephenson, Billy Connellys wife. She’s now a doctor of psychology and had a show called ‘Shrink rap’. And Curtis was one of her guests. It’s on YT, check it out.
@@user-fq8rs7rz3i No thanks, I got a plenty of her right here. Not a big fan of Billy Connelly either. Makes sense.
Very nutty hat to distract people from the seriousness and depth of Tony?
@@RawOlympia She was annoying. Tony was giving us secrets from the movie sets and she interrupted him more than once.
@@ranc1977 such a putz, to interrupt him!
He was no prize either. Ask his daughter.

I loved watching Tony Curtis in movies. I am not a critic so I could not critique his acting but he was fun to watch.
What an absolute star was Tony Curtis. In many ways terribly underrated. RIP good fellow.
May Tony, Rest In Peace, Amen.
You get the idea that nobody loves Tony Curtis more than Tony Curtis loves Tony Curtis.
He was very authentic & honest. I respect that!
Glad I got to meet him. Great interview. 👍
Whew…no ego there😂😂😂
Comes with the territory of the entertainment industry. When people are treated like they are Gods it must be difficult to keep a level head.
lol…
Tony Curtis was such an interesting man.
What a great ensemble of people. Even Michael Aspel is a favourite of mine. He had a nice technique. Tony curtis is marvellous and has magical qualities that made him entertaining as well a great actor. The two lovely ladies added nicely to the interview. Super bit of TV.
How very charming and entertaining he is.
I had a presumption about him not being a very nice person.
But I have to recognize his charm and obvious intelligence.
