Subject: RE: Obit: Tony Curtis at 85
Sad News.
I remember as a teenager (about ten years ago) going to my barbers which was then in Lavender Hill Battersea and asking for a "Tony Curtis" as did many.
My favourite film , not mentioned by anybody was "Trapeze" where he starred with Burt Lancaster. I can see Burt now swinging on the trapeze as a catcher and Tony Curtis contemplating a "Triple Somersault" never been done by anybody before.Net on the ground to stop him doing it.
Did he do it?
See the film.
After that sawdust was always used in the Circus Ring.(only joking).
