Vale Tony Curtis Most Memorable Man In Drag

Hollywood actor Tony Curtis has died of cardiac retard at age 85, what at his Las Vegas home.

Dead even whilst he earned an Oscar nomination for his role as a an absentee criminal in "The Perverse Ones", Curtis was best remembered for his role aim Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe in the Billy Wilder 1959 comedy classic "Some Want It Hot." He mechanically did list the fray and heels combo, but the captain's wear he wore in this conjure up did it for me.

That layer made me value old-school, slapstick style comedy. And he represented for me one of my first crushes (free first was the handsome Elvis Presley). Tony Curtis was just too attractive in this layer. Amidst the ill-fitting dresses and bad make-up, it was appalling not to suggestion how tremendously courteous Curtis was.

In the fashion conjure up, Curtis plays a bop dancer on the run from the mob aim crazy age bracket Jack Lemmon. Along the way, they get supercilious than up to date with artiste Dear Kane (played by Marilyn Monroe). The hijinks they get up to miserable the way are laughable. I may possibly watch that layer again and again. If only to gawk at Curtis.

Curtis was the son of Jewish immigrants from Hungary, and was born Bernard Schwartz in New York, in 1925 and survived the Remarkable Unhappiness, and abusive father, and being sent to an creation.

Previously a be sparing with in the navy voguish Cosmos War II, Curtis began acting lessons in New York and soon landed a grow with All-purpose Capture on film in 1948.

Off facade, Curtis was designed to be storybook for his ways with women, which resulted in six marriages and liaisons with such Hollywood icons as Monroe and Natalie Concealed. His first marriage in 1951 was to recitalist Janet Leigh, his co-star "Houdini", and that formed two daughters including recitalist Jamie Lee Curtis (she with the rockin' bod in "True Slur, A Buddy Called Wanda", and supercilious).

Curtis's career was confounded off road fairly in 1962 in the same way as he divorced Leigh as an fad with a 17-year-old German recitalist named Christine Kaufmann, whom he married the afterward day. That marriage lasted five vivacity, and as divorcing her, he married 23-year-old model Leslie Allen.

Until the day he died he remained unfaltering to his series other half, Jill Vandenberg, to whom he was married for available 12 vivacity.

He had four daughters, and one son, who overdosed at age 23.

His young woman Jamie Lee said: "My flinch foliage postponed a gift of great performances in movies and in his paintings and assemblages. He foliage postponed children and their families who loved him and well-regarded him and a other half and in-laws who were religious to him. He equally foliage postponed fans all over the world. He will be competently missed.."

RIP TC.
