Tony
Curtis |
![]() |
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Today's
Newsletter, honoring the great
Tony Curtis (a.k.a.
Bernie Schwartz) who passed away last night at the age of 85, was suggested
by
my
daughter, Adrienne Harty.
Thanks, Webby!
The accompanying song was suggested by TV writer David Wild.
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5k0FS3VszT4 - Bernie's Tune - Gerry Mulligan, 1956
From http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-wild/bernies-tune-a-playlist-f_b_745047.html - 09/30/10:
Even in this star-studded context, it was stunning to see this genuine Hollywood legend up close in the flesh and blood, even though at my age, I loved his daughter Jamie Lee Curtis from afar first. Tony seemed very nice and quite happy to be seeing Paul McCartney -- just like the rest of us. But what was amazing was how fabulously excited Paul McCartney was to talk to Tony Curtis. Paul later explained to me what a massive fan he was of Tony Curtis growing up, and that this man was one of the greatest and biggest movie stars of all-time. Lest we forget, he was all that, and I'm thankful I got to be in Tony's Fab presence even that one memorable time.
RIP Tony Curtis, and Bernie Schwartz too.
