Met him a year or so ago at a movie convention, was honored to have a short conversation about his film Taras Bulba, which I loved as a kid and now.
Houdini, Great Impostor, Chained Heat, Flintstones, Janet Leigh....
Read his autobiography, what a character.
ODEN!!!

weird.....I was just thinking about Tony Curtis the other night as the camera showed Jamie Lee Curtis in the DWTS audience clapping enthusiastically for Jennifer Grey.
She really has a lot of his features....but then, she looks a lot like her mother as well.
Prayers up and thanks for the great memories, Mr. Curtis!

I really liked him in both Spartacus and the later comedy, Operation Petticoat. How is that for acting range? Classic line of his from Operation Petticoat: "In CHAOS there is Opportunity." He was the scrounger. A vital part of every military organization from the time of Spartacus to today. I always treasured mine.

He was in three of my favorite movies, “The Vikings”. “The Greagt Race”, and Operation Petticoat”
I read he had a real soft spot for “Operation Petticoat”, because he always wanted to serve on a submarine, and always wanted to make a movie with Cary Grant.Curtis enlisted in the Navy in WW II, volunteered for, and graduated from Sub School. He was assigned, however, to a sub tender. He witnessed the Japanese surrender in Tokyo Bay from his ship.

Most folks do not know that Tony Curtis was a great painter. His paintings are famous all over the world. I saw some of his works displayed in galleries in Honolulu and Maui. Below is a copy of one painting. Click on the image. Other links are provided as well:

JMPO -- But I believe Curtis may ultimately become more famous for his art than for his acting.
