Tony Curtis

Yes, take it literally (except maybe for the "animals" part). Over the years, Curtis spoke candidly about sleeping with men as well as women. He admitted he slept with some men to get ahead in the business.

And this cumslut refused to watch Brokeback Mountain. Hypocrite.

[quote]I never said that I didn’t like the film. I just didn’t know what the big deal was. To see two guys falling in love? A lot of people were waiting for them to break out the Vaseline and start fucking each other up the ass. People didn’t want to see the subtleties unfold.

Miss Tony sounds more like a curmudgeonly old queen than a homophobe.

His greatest performance was in Sweet Smell of Success. He was also at the peak of his beauty around that time as well.

Oh yes...

I wonder how he felt about Jamie Lee’s diagnosis?

Gorgeous in his day...

My God he was good looking. And IMO the only one of Natalie Wood's co-stars to have real chemistry with her. He didn't take her seriously, twinkled at her, and helped her relax out of her schtick. Too bad the few films they were in together sucked.

Curtis was in a documentary about gay Hollywood that's up on youtube now., not really talking about himself (except for Spartacus, I think) but about different aspect of Hollywood. I always figured him being in that documentary was his way of coming out. Didn't know he already had admitted to sleeping with men. With him, I don't think it was just to get ahead in the business. He could have slept with both genders for career, but as far as his sex life I think he obviously just did what he felt like doing.

Is Lily Tomlin too old to host? I’d love to see her replace Kevin!

^^ Crap - wrong thread. Sorry!

Did he fuck Burt Lancaster? They had tons of chemistry

In his autobiography he claims he never slept with a man though everyone assumed he was a prostitute in his early days. It weird how often he brings that up.

Richard Burton admitted in interviews that he experimented with men in his youth.

He was a mysogynist.

Oh, yes.

I'm pretty sure he had an affair with Burt Lancsater in the late fifties, the chemistry in "The Sweet Smell of Success" and "Trapeze" is out the wazoo!

And FYI "Trapeze" was shot in Paris, and both men brought their wives and kids to France... and rented them places out in the country away from studio. So they could have some family time on the weekends, and do what they liked during the work week.

Tony was as shitty a husband to Janet Leigh as Eddie Fisher was to Debbie Reynolds.

I can attest to Tony Curtis getting it on with animals.

He's the one who got me to talk!

I never felt safe around the studio when Tony was filming.

Tony and Rock Hudson started out at Universal together. Did they get it on or did rivalry get in the way?

[R20]

No, they both shared me like a piece of meat.

he was fucking hot and seemed a lot of fun. Of course he was an asshole.

tony curtis and truth were not well acquainted

I just watched Sweet Smell of Success.

My, he was beautiful...

Dat is the castle of my fader.

My father grew up on the same block in NY as Tony Curtis. Of course, that was when his name was actually Bernie Schwartz. Apparently he was kind of an asshole already.....

Beauty is of no consequence.

He was a singeh of soorngs.

[quote]r6 I wonder how he felt about Jamie Lee’s diagnosis?

Hermaphrodites were very shocking back then. It's natural, I suppose, that he pulled away.

She could do a lot for trans society if she just came out of the glass closet and said, "Look, this is who I am."

Tony was notoriously sarcastic and there's a lot you can't take literally. He'd get into a whole routine when talking about his early years and get so worked up he'd make it sound like he was sucking off Louis B Mayer for roles, but the truth is probably more boring.

I actually found much of what he said about Brokeback to be pretty mild, in that it sounded like general old Hollywood bitching about "the sex is too graphic these days" and not specifically homophobic.

Narcissists will fuck anyone who praises them or can do something for them. That is their orientation.

He contradicted himself regularly. I would take everything he ever said with a grain of salt.

When all six of your kids won't speak to you, YOU are the problem.

He intentionally disinherited all his kids. Literally named them in the will just to state they must get nothing.

R29 Why are you equating intersex with trans?

Because transgenders (people with a mental illness) trojan horse their agenda using the intersexed (people with a physical deformity).

Well, I never slept with him.

The hell you didn’t.

He aged horribly .

Bea Arthur said she was part of a theatrical showcase of young performers and the usher, Bernie Schwartz, got the most attention!

Always loved this TIME magazine photo of Rock, Tony and Robert Wagner during the height of their Movie Idol-ness:

I watched Some Like it Hot the other night.

My, he was beautiful.

This guy —whose real name was Bernie Schwarz— reminds me of that person named 'Boston Rob'.

Both of them were pretty and both of them got fat.

[quote]He intentionally disinherited all his kids. Literally named them in the will just to state they must get nothing.

Don't you have to leave them $10 or something to make it clear what you're doing?

I was molested.

"And to my many children, I leave the rest of my estate and holdings. Of which there is none."

R40, I wonder if they all sucked each other off after that photo shoot

Tony Curtis and Rock Hudson at the Finlandia Baths

R47

I love that.

Hugh O'Brian, Scott Brady, and John Bromfield are also in that photoshoot....

Were O'Brian and Brady in DESTRY RIDES AGAIN on Broadway at the same time?

Back in the 80s, my sister had a friend who met Tony Curtis and started dating him. The girl was a bit insecure and asked my sister a few times to come with her when Tony invited her out. My sister even got to see Tony's NYC apartment. She said he was a total asshole....I'm A Star, Aren't You Impressed, etc etc - Tony eventually said, "Come on out but leave ****(sister) at home!" He didn't like her because she wasn't falling at his feet like her friend was.

To answer your question, R9, yes.

Is there a problem with excluding your children from your will...???

Especially for reasons which are well known to them.

He seemed like a real asshole. On the other hand, I always thought Janet Leigh came across as really down to earth and sweet and was easily the better actor of the two.

Maybe all the fucking caused him to produce a hermaphrodite kid.

Here he is on Srink Rap a few years before he died.

Those look like glue-on eyebrows.

He looks like Dr Evil in that clip

He does have that likeable asshole vibe.

r25

He looks like a Tony, and talks like a Bernie.

Jamie Lee Curtis Says She Once 'Did Cocaine and Freebased' with Dad Tony Curtis Before Sobriety

It's dangerous to freebase with that flammable wig.

These are the sorts of stories we'll get from Jeremy Renners, Bradley Coopers and Tom Hardys kids 20 years from now. Mark my words.

R56 He looks like Varys from Game of Thrones there.

No love lost from his wives and he always came across as an arrogant jerk. Probably a better actor than given credit., though.

I understand he did a personal appearance at Film Forum and of all the many people they had over many decades he was the biggest jerk.
