My sister was a big Tony Curtis fan. She needed to have a tooth out at the dentist under General Anaesthetic only she was worried she was going to miss her favourite TV programme. The Persuaders. When she came round the first words she uttered was "have I missed Tony Curtis"

R.I.P Tony Curtis, you gave a lot of pleasure to many through your films and through your art.

He was good actor and good looking in his days. Didnt think much of the face lift though.

I just heard, such a shame.

Loved him in Some Like it Hot, but anyone who hasn't must see The Great Race (1965), with Jack Lemmon and Natalie Wood as well. Very overlooked but in my opinion one of the funniest films ever made.

RIP Tony
