Biografia
Tony Curtis nasceu Bernard Schwartz em Nova Iorque, em 3 de junho de 1925. Participou de mais de 100 filmes até hoje, além de séries televisivas. Ele teve uma infância pobre no Bronx, bairro pobre dos Estados Unidos, morando nos fundos da alfaiataria do pai. Além disso, sua mãe e irmãos eram esquizofrênicos, o que fez com que Tony fosse levado para um orfanato aos oito anos.
Depois de ter servido a Marinha na 2ª Guerra Mundial, entrou para um curso de teatro, e logo conseguiu, graças à sua beleza, se transformar em um ídolo jovem. Contratado pela Universal, passou a ser conhecido como Tony Curtis. Mas ele não era só belo, tinha talento, e provou isso com sucessos como “A Embriaguez do Sucesso”, “Acorrentados” e “O Homem que Odiava as Mulheres”. Mas ele realmente é reconhecido como parceiro de Marilyn Monroe e Jack Lemmon em Quanto Mais Quente Melhor. Faleceu em sua casa em Nevada em 29 de setembro de 2010.
