RIP Tony Curtis



Rest in peace to Tony Curtis, who passed away yesterday at the age of 85.

Many will cite such movies as "Spartacus", "The Defiant Ones", and "The Boston Strangler" when mentioning Curtis' greatest roles, but for my money, Curtis will be best known forever for his role as Joe/Josephine in Hollywood's all-time greatest comedy (according to AFI), Billy Wilder's 1959 classic, "Some Like It Hot."

We can also thank Curtis and the first of six his wives, Janet Leigh, for producing a wonderful daughter, the delightful Jamie Leigh Curtis.

Do they make movie stars like the Bronx's Bernie Schwartz anymore?
