Tony was Magnificent. Great Actor. RIP

He was really an engaging character. Great story teller.

I could listen to Tony Curtis all day with his story`s of famous people, he is very open and pulls no punches, although I dont think I would have liked to get on the wrong side of him, but even so he has a good heart it comes through

Hi Sylvia! Thank you for tuning in and commenting, as always. I apologize for being so late in replying, and for not being on Facebook very much- I had a number of small contracts that needed to be satisfied, and Sylvie is visiting from Joinville until the middle of December- and today, the first snow storm arrived! Did you know that my grandfather, Abner Biberman, was Tony's first drama coach at Universal? Tony hated him! But he loved the coincidence that his grandson was shooting him... :)

This was fabulous, Tony had real charisma. Wonderful, versatile actor. Loved him.

Wow ! Finally a Tony Curtis interview by some one ( Carol ) who knows what to ask and has a knowledge of that time and place in film history. You guys have done it again. Curtis is spinning much less of his set stories in this interview than he does in others...but unfortunately , he still tries to revise history. But his anecdotes about Joe Kennedy, Lawford and Martin and especially Frank are insightful and definitely coming from some one who was there and was part of that scene. He was very discreet about Janet. ( I did tell you I Love Janet Leigh and when they broke up it broke my tender teen age heart ? ) Once again a heart felt Thank You......any chance of uploading the Jerry Lewis home movies ?

Thank you, as usual, miltsar! This is definitely one of Carole's best interviews- I think because she knew Tony personally, as did I. My grandfather, Abner Biberman, was Tony's first drama coach at Universal- Tony hated him! But he loved the coincidence that his grandson was shooting him... :)

Luke, Pallie...thanks for these moments with Mr. Curtis. My Mom loved him, so I got us backstage when Curtis was touring with the musical "Some Like It Hot". She got to meet him and get a picture together.

Thanks very much for watching and commenting.

Interesting to see Tony Curtis being serious. I was flying from Las Vegas to LAX around this time when Curtis came bounding onto the plane wearing a huge cowboy hat and shorts. I knew instantly who he was but the lead flight attendant had no clue as Curtis was hitting on her. We all three chatted for a couple of minutes but I had to jump back in the cockpit. I wanted to call him by is first name, Bernard, but couldn't think of it at the time. Great guy, full of life.

What an interesting, nice intelligent man.

Fabulous, Truthful and honest!,

My name is Tony so when I saw him in Hawaii in a sandwich shop eating alone . I just let him be . Such a classy guy ... bless him .

Tony has a great new yorker accent 😍

One sharp guy.

Wow to see Tony go to a different time and thinking about JFK when he said he couldn't believe he heard that speech on the phone. He's still moved by JFK's death, what he says after that "God I believe that happened."

I fell in love with Tony Curtis the first time I saw him with Burt Lancaster ever since then I've always been a fan I'm sorry that he's gone now but we have memories and we have his films hooray for Hollywood

I had previously read that Billy Wilder was considering casting Frank Sinatra in the role ultimately played by Jack Lemmon in "Some Like It Hot" opposite Tony Curtis. The result would have been disastrous, in my view. Apart from Sinatra's independence on movie sets [ see Pal Joey, his aborted role as Billy in Carousel ], Sinatra didn't have the comedic chops to play the Lemmon role. Jack Lemmon had an extraordinary flair for comedy-he was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for the picture; moreover, he had great chemistry with Curtis, who was imitating Cary Grant as the millionaire trying to seduce Marilyn Monroe. Sinatra did a good job in "Kings Go Forth" the drama that co-starred Curtis and Natalie Wood; he did have an innate sense of playing dramatic roles, i.e. Some Came Running, The Manchurian Candidate.

Yes, that is 110 percent correct- Billy and Frank- and Dino- and Tony and Jack- were all good friends. I can't remember what pictures Frank was working on in 57 and 58... "Some Came Running", I think... and "The Joker's Wild"?

Tony Curtis ur a class act may u rip great Hollywood stories 😔🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

8:34. How could anyone not wonder what was going throw Mr. Curtis's mind? My god- there was no reason to talk for a little bit. I have never seen such a "real" moment. What must have been going through his mind at that moment in the interview? We'll never know.

Tony Curtis is funny!

Love Tony and his stories, but I think he is 1000% incorrect when saying that the Kennedy's didn't drop Sinatra after the election. They did and Sinatra was forever enraged by it.

The interviewer needed to let tiny have his reminnincing after some off the questions

The interviewer……she needs to stop interrupting Mr. Curtis’ thoughts. Annoying.
