RIP Tony Curtis

[PeckhamRose]

And I think the BBC are going to run a short series of his best films....

Which to choose!

My top five are

Boston Strangler

Lepke

The Great Race

Some Like it Hot

The Defiant Ones

[Axeman]

???? gets a gold star for remaining loyal and following the trend.

Oh, I don't mind trolls with a bit of wit but you are just tedious......

He went down hugely in my estimation when he made some homophobic remarks a few years ago when Brokeback Mountain came out. Shame, because I used to like him.

[PeckhamRose]

That's sad edcam. I never knew that. I know from his autobiography and other articles written about him that he was not homophobic. Were the quotes heard straight from him or quoted a la a tabloid type credit?

At least you stayed on topic unlike the children above! ;)

[edcam]

No it was a direct quote Rose. He said that he refused to watch it and that many older members of the Academy of Motion Pictures felt the same. Odd when admittedly earlier in life he said much more liberal things on the subject (although there are allegations that privately he was rather more bigoted than one would imagine.) partly a generational thing but disappointing from someone in the movie industry who made a career from playing the pretty object of another man's attentions and from dragging up!

[Captain Scarlet]

He was a fine actor....I thought his role in the Boston strangler was his finest momement!

yes i will miss him......>:D<
