    About 11 years ago. My mom was in Vegas for a few days, and we went to a local grocery store. There were some slots in there so we left mom there while we got a few things . This man sat down next to her and started playing also. Mom was 87 then. She accidentally dropped a dollar bill, and this man reached down and picked it up for her. They started chatting. When we came to get mom, we immediately knew this fellow was Tony Curtis!! When mom stood up, she said, nice talking with you. I have to say, you look familiar, but don't know why, he said, my name is Tony Curtis. We all laughed and said good bye. What a nice gentleman.

    Tony always had the ability to laugh at himself. Never took himself too seriously. A very appealing characteristic. George Hamilton, and Shatner have the same appeal.

    Dame Edna is amazing as always & Tony Curtis seems really charming & likeable.
    What I can't reconcile is that he didn't get on with his daughter Jamie Lee & they apparently didn't talk or see each other for years. Almost to the point where she said in an interview "I don't have a father". Just seems bizarre.

      people's persona on light entertainment as opposed to real two different things I guess .
      I think his daughters were protective of their mother as he wasn't a great husband to her by all accounts

    • @glennfromthebronx
      @glennfromthebronx Před 9 lety +1

      ...and perhaps not a great father to his 2 daughters either. Either way, the entertainment industry creates (arguably) impossible standards for any of us to keep and magnifies our foibles. Tony/Bernards's long career....separate from family and marriage issues, however, does speak for itself. I don't think there's been a documented problem with any of his co-stars...co-actors/ directors /producers in a production.

    • @jefolson6989

      Public image is carefully invented. In private they are always different. Jamie knew the real Tony Curtis. If he was actually like this there would have been no problem.
