Thread Name: Obit: Tony Curtis at 85 (Sept 2010)
Subject: RE: Obit: Tony Curtis at 85
Do any of you remember the anti-smoking campaign "I Quit" with Dewey buttons with a big red IQ on them? Tony did a couple of PSA's for them and then, BOOM! he got caught smoking pot. This was late sixties, early seventies. It was shortly after this that he made his move to England. The SHAME! Well, England's gain, our loss. Yes he was one of the really gifted folks in the entertainment industry. I don't know what he was like in his personal life as I'm not much want to look into things like that. I would also like to have thanked him for Jamie Lee, whom I also consider a consummate actor. I just saw "A Fish Called Wanda" again recently and laughed my head off like it I did the first time.
