I attended Tony Curtis's funeral today and here are a few clips from the ceremony. Arnold Schwarzenegger was really funny and so was Jamie Lee Curtis. Watch it on my channel now.
I am so impressed by how respectful and friendly Tony is to the super-serious crew. His joie de vivre really shines through in this interview. It's nice to see someone of his stature behaving so well in a private, unguarded moment. He was a pretty deep guy, despite all of his charm and humor. I think this quality really contributed to his acting. He was in touch with his humanity, and portrayed it beautifully to his audience. RIP, Tony.
tony curtis passed away sadly today what a legend he was and always will be.As you see in this clip very funny and polite guy mr curtis was a way underrated actor who should of won a oscar and should off got more accolade.mr curtis u will be always missed rest in peace.David
Another GREAT legend has passed away... Bernard Schwartz aka, Tony Curtis who died in bed at home on September 29, 2010 at 9:25 PM of cardiac arrest. after suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,. R.I.P. Tony, you will NEVER be forgotten..
a great actor-a very talented man in all the arts--he made it himself-loved life-appreciated and much loved-by all--a unique talent--this one is very hard to believe-
That is a beautiful toupee-- I hear it was made from grizzly and kodiak -- That's a good 25 year old model he's been sporting-- Guaranteed not to shed!
the over styled wig, the black scoop neck leotard top, the way too short white short shorts -- only Tony Curtis can pull that off and not let it be a distraction...
skippybartolozzi: this man is a acting legend...You and your fucking decendents are Zero... Even more so if your from australia. You fucking no mark! Do the world a favour and keep your opinions to your self...LIFE LOSER/SADDO!!!
He was so gorgeous on the BIG SCREEN. I watched all of his movies when they came out. That is, starting about 1955, and by the time I was 12, in 1960, he was Sparticus! The great imposter was outstanding, even for an 11 yr old! Of course, "Some Like It Hot," was HUGE that year too! I still love the man!
@Sheila6325 i'm 29 and i grew up with a mom born in 1950 who was a big fan of old movies and this guy is great to me becuz of 'some like it hot', its one of the greatest comedies in movie history, i dont judge him for being an old man, we should all sit around and listen to the stories of the golden days of cinema

Fascinating footage! Love him or hate him, there's no denying that Mr Curtis (nee Schwartz) is a charismatic fellow and one of the few big 50's male stars that is still around & in fairly good condition. Would love to see him (and Burt Reynolds) without there toupees. THANKS for sharing this informative & entertaining interview with us! :)
He seems to do an awful lot of prep for what really is just an interview. I'd be more inclined to just get on with it - but then it takes all sorts and he is a legend, so I forgive him. :-))
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
nothing but a worn out old drag queen, releasing another book of LIES and FABRICATION, seen him in the street in Melbourne Australia about 20 years ago and even then he looked like someone had pulled GLAD WRAP over his head !!! "Oh hang on".: .... is that gary glitter ?
HOLLYWOOD WAS RUN by major Jewish business men HOWEVER HOLLYWOOD WAS SO FRIGGIN ANTI_SEMITIC that most actors were ashamed to use their GIVEN NAMES. America just hated Jews but never wanted to actually admit it.
TONY CURTIS is the epitome of a dead beat DAD... he only acknowledges his actor daughter who has already MET AND LOVE HER BROTHERS whom TONY CHOOSES TO IGNORE. Those twin guys are in their late 30's and they look EXACTLY LIKE TONY'S SORRY ARSE.
This is in response to friggin freddy. I have met Tony in an informal basis several times and let me tell you something about this man. He is genuine, real, and incredibly on top of things for a guy his age. Not to mention a very gifted actor. I wish they had made 2 of him. Please don't disrespect him, he is a very cool dude, inside and out.
Check your info: he's family is Jewish (hence the German sounding name) and they did not emigrate because of '56 as Tony Curtis (little Bernard) was born in 1925 already in the United States. My guess is they left the country of the antisemitism. His name was never Kertész, it's a general misconception Hungarians have trying to twist his stage name back to his native language and find the nearest Hungarian name. ;) Also, small thing, but Kertész means Gardener, if we want to be precise. ;)
What a great Star! I used to see Tony at the bar at the original Spago in West Hollywood and he was kind, funny and generous to everyone, including me. He was with his gorgeous wife Jilly. WOW! I bought him a vodka and diet coke! I love him and his work, His book is informative and hilarious!
I met Tony while he was doing the stage play of Some Like it Hot and he was fabulous and everything I thought he would be! he was so nice and sweet and very interested in us as fans. A true star! It was one of the highlights in my life.
I think he is so gracious and kind, a truly beautiful man. I hear he is very nice to fans who approach him, he asks their names, shakes hands, signs things, takes pictures with them...just really goes out of his way. I would love to meet him, he's dreamy.
would of like to see the whole interview, but guess partial will do. I also like him in operation Petticoat with cary grant. A actor he admired before he was in movies.
All what happened pre interview shows a lot about him. Such a sweet guy and thanking everyone and trying to make everyone's life a lot easier. Wondeful!!
Hey, who cares if he is wearing a wig and he might have had a facelift!! Let's see how incredible you look at the age of 84. We ALL have trouble getting old at one time or another. It's either that, or you die young. Let's just hope that you are not only alive at this age, but coherant enought to be talking period. Not to mention be married to such a beautiful blonde.
The man is a legend I saw here in the south of France last year , talking one night at the cinema , very funny very clear thinking , just think what you will be like at his age.
