My favorite Tony Curtis movie is "The Great Race." He and Jack Lemmon are hilarious! RIP, Mr. Curtis.

Another product of Hollywood's golden age passes on. They just don't make them like him anymore.

RIP, Tony.

One of my favorites. Another couple of movies (other than great race) were Spartacus and The Vikings.

That whole dialog in Spartacus about Snails vs Oysters still creeps me out!

Back in the early 60s, Tony Curtis was such a high profile celebrity that he appeared on The Flinstones as Stoney Curtis. His real name was Bernard Schwartz.
