I remember him with fondness - he was an actor I crushed on, many, many people crushed on him.
Who is Bernard? Trivial Pursuit players know, but his stage name is Tony Curtis.
I loved his movies. Suppose They Gave A War and Nobody Came?, The Persuaders with Roger Moore, Some Like It Hot weirded me out a little, Taras Bulba, The Great Race, The Defiant Ones... so many great films.
The black hair and mischievous eyes, buff bod (when he was younger).
His daughter, Jamie Lee Curtis, says it perfectly:
"My father leaves behind a legacy of great performances in movies and in his paintings and assemblages. He leaves behind children and their families who loved him and respected him and a wife and in-laws who were devoted to him. He also leaves behind fans all over the world. He will be greatly missed."
I know I'll watch re-runs of his movies on the teev.
