A fellow man who preferred oysters to snails, Tony Curtis died yesterday. He was one of my favorite actors and definitely influenced me both artistically and personality wise. He’s probably most famous for “Some Like It Hot,” but that’s not one of my faves…and I’m not even sure I’ve seen it in it’s entirety. However, this gem I probably watch on an almost nightly basis and is sitting on top of my dvd player right now:

I recently read his Autobiography which I wrote about here a few months ago, here.
