A Legend Has Passed

One of Hollywoods greats, Tony Curtis, has passed away aged 85 years old. The Oscar nominated actor had appeared in over 140 films. A sad day indeed for family, friends and his legion of fans. I must admit I was never a huge fan and I have only now discovered that he is the father of Jaime Lee Curtis, but obviously I have heard of the man. Who could not?


Hollywood Heart throb: Tony Curtis

Some of his films included Some Like It Hot with Marilyn Monroe (1959) Spartacus (1960) Goodbye Charlie (1964) and B movie spoof Lobster Man From Mars (1989).
Its strange how a persons death can provoke interest in him/her for surely I will not be the only one who will be checking out Tony Curtis' dvds for what will be in the most part the first time.
Save a barstool for me in that great vineyard in the sky Mr Curtis. At 85 you have run the kind of innings that will be almost impossible foe me. Bravo!
