R.I.P. Tony Curtis

TONY CURTIS-PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN

[ex-Texan]

Tony was one of the great ones. As a kid, I loved his performance in "The Vikings." His paintings are magnificent:

Curtis was born Bernard Schwartz in Bronx, New York, the son of Emanuel Schwartz and his wife, Helen Klein. His parents were Hungarian Jewish immigrants from Mátészalka, Hungary. Hungarian was Curtis' only language until he was five or six, postponing his schooling.

Operation Petticoat! One of my all time favorites

Looks like TCM is having a Tony Curtis ‘day’ on 10/10 starting at 0600 and going into 10/11
“Operation Petticoat” will air at 1145 on 10/10

>>... and don’t forget ... McHale’s Navy.

I loved that show. Funny that I’ve not seen it in reruns for a looong time. Maye because they say “Nips” and “Japs?”
