Tony Curtis (1925 - 2010)

Born Bernie Schwartz in the Bronx, the son of a poor Jewish family, Tony Curtis became one of Hollywood's top stars. He died last night of a heart attack, aged 85. In this interview on GMTV in 2009, Hollywood's living legend joins Andrew and Emma on the sofa to share secrets of the golden era featuring Cary Grant, Marilyn Monroe and Frank Sinatra. Just a little tribute from someone who remembers him well on screen, as an actor, not just a comedian in such films as Spartacus (with Kirk Douglas), Boeing Boeing (with Jerry Lewis), Some like it Hot (with Marilyn Monroe), The Boston Strangler (with Henry Fonda) - it's a list of 155 films. Thank you for the memories, Mr. Curtis. (See more on NME)
