Tony Curtis
Hollywood legend Tony Curtis died in September at the age of 85. To this generation, he was Jamie Lee Curtis’ dad. But to the generation pre, he was a major movie star who was adept in both comedy (“Some Like It Hot” opposite Jack Lemmon) or drama (“The Defiant Ones” opposite Sidney Poitier.) Curtis wrote several acclaimed autobiographies (where he chronicled his battles with drugs and alcohol) and was also acclaimed for his many art works. (credit: AP)
