We heard the news this morning and we were very sad about it: Tony Curtis died on Wednesday at his Las Vegas home of a cardiac arrest. We have seen him in ‘The Defiant Ones’, ‘The Outsider’ but he is mostly remembered for his role in ‘Some Like It Hot’ with Marilyn Monroe.

He starred in more than 100 films but for many (including for Max Dana who mentioned him in this post) he was Danny Wilde in the 1971 action/adventure series The Persuaders. But Tony Curtis was also a painter and he received the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (Order of Arts and Letters) from France in 1995.

Another Hollywood icon is gone.

RIP, Mr Tony Curtis.
