Mike Scott

He was in enough classics to secure his legacy! Sweet Smell of Success, The Defiant Ones, Some Like It Hot, Spartacus, The Boston Strangler and a couple of personal favorites Houdini and The Great Race.

Sitting here at work, I've forgotten about THE GREAT RACE, one of the funniest films I've ever seen!! Certainly Blake Edwards best, this side of the Pink Panther series, & TC's greatest hit in my book.

What Mike said. The later goofy guy on talk shows with the worse-than-Shatner wig, kinda obsured the fact that the man was actually a damn good actor (check out BOSTON STRANGLER some time.)

Rest to him , and comfort to his loved ones,

HOUDINI was one of my favorites, too--add SPARTACUS and THE VIKINGS and WINCHESTER '73 and of course the tremendous SOME LIKE IT HOT.  There weren't many genres of film Tony Curtis didn't add his talents to--he even dabbled in the weird and sci-fi area with THE MANITOU and BRAINWAVES.  I heard him say in an interview that whether or not he got recognition in the film world, he surely had a great time!  And you gave US a great time, over and over, Tony.  Thank you.

He was one of the first actors I remember from my childhood. Charisma and talent. Thank you Great Leslie! Thank you Stony Curtis! Thank you Josephine! You'll be missed!

Wtf, I haven't heard about his death until now. RIP,  Bernard Schwartz!
He was so incredible in the Boston Strangler.
