Tony Curtis Dies At 85

Tony Curtis always seemed to be an interesting person to me. He was one-of-a-kind! He always seemed to be "acting." He grew up in the Bronx, poor. He was born, there, to Jewish Hungarian immigrants and was raised in the back of his dad's tailor shop. He later said that when he made his way to Hollywood that he had two things on his mind, "women and money." He acquired a lot of both. He appeared in more than 100 films and was nominated for an academy award for his work in "The Defiant Ones."

Curtis died last night at his home in Las Vegas. It was a heart attack, he was 85.

I have a link to a video tribute, on YouTube, click here.
