Awww....I thought he was doing well. 

I will always think of that stupid little pout he did in Some Like It Hot.

There is a story that Tony tells on the commentary track, I believe, on the version of Some Like It Hot DVD I have. The dress designer was fitting Marilyn Monroe, and made a remark about Tony Curtis having a better ass than her, whereupon she bared herself and said "But he doesn't have t*%s like this!"

Didn't he put out his biography recently? Anybody read it?

A great actor, he will be missed.

First time I watched Some Like It Hot when I was a teenager I laughed so hard.
What a classic comedy.

I'm going to have to watch a couple of Tony's movies tomorrow in his memory.  (I think I'll start with The Great Race; I haven't watched it in a while and Jack Lemmon and Peter Falk are hysterical in that.)

I'm attaching a comedy bit about Tony Curtis that was performed years ago by The Dead Alewives.  I imagine that he would have appreciated it.

Great story about Monroe! She was a pistol. I visited the Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego where the movie was filmed. I walked every square inch of the beach there so that I could say I tread the same ground as Marilyn.
