Tony Curtis: The Rise and Fall of a Hollywood Icon. (Jerry Skinner Documentary)

[@Denise11Schultz]

That last dissolve was quite moving. Our younger selves are always inside our older selves. Thank you for your storytelling.

[@asthecrowflies737]

Your documentaries are wonderful. My mom met Tony in 1950, when she was working as a receptionist at Universal Studios on 5th Ave, NYC. She saw him every day for two weeks. Other women who worked at the studio asked mom if she wanted to trade places with them while Tony was at the studio. She told them to get lost.........

[@AHMAD-2324]

Tony Curtis was not just a pretty face he was actually a Damn good Actor.

[@LisaD007]

Thank you Jerry for doing a video on Tony Curtis. Great actor R.I.P Tony 😎

[@mariavandenelsen9310]

As per usual, a great documentary as only you can make. Thank you Jerry!

[@XHollisWood]

Loved this Actor , it seems to me all the great and successful people in the world have a tragic back story. Thank you for sharing

[@nolarino]

I met Tony while out walking by the ocean in Cannes in the south of France in 1974. I was with my girl friend and he was coming out of a hotel one morning, my girlfriend just ran up to him and asked if she could have a photo taken I with him and he was so happy to pose with her while I took the picture, he was so so polite and happy and talked with us for a while.I have always liked him since I was a kid,. Thanks for a great video.

[@miriamcontini7585]

Tony loved his fans!His daughter Kelly has said that he loved to bring people at family!He was simply adorable;Thanks for sharing your memory with us

[@nolarino]

I lived in Nice at this time, and was fortunate to see Tony on another occasion, he and Roger Moor were filming a car chase scene on Promenade des Anglaise that was awesome to see.

[@pmafterdark]

Always loved Tony Curtis's work.

[@williamoverly1617]

If anyone has any doubts about the talents of this Jewish pretty boy, watch the movie THE OUTSIDER. Curtis's performance is absolutely outstanding!

[@norabeers3764]

I was only 3 when "Houdini" came out, so I had to wait until it was shown on TV to watch it. It immediately became my favorite Tony Curtis movie. Mr. Curtis was my first Hollywood crush, lol. He was one of the most attractive men I have ever seen. I appreciate all of the work you put into making your videos. They are always excellent. A special thank you for this one.

[@mikeanderson8603]

Loved him in Houdini. Great, unforgettable sound track also. Can still remember it.

[@pattywilliams2222]

I love your documentaries Jerry. Please keep them coming! 😊

[@geographicoddity9444]

Bravo, Mr. Skinner. You did it again.

[@michaelleblanc7283]

'Jerry' - Thank you from the bottom of my heart for an excellent study about a man I liked very much as I was growing up, only knew from his 'stage' presence. Liked that 'image' he projected and the way he did it a great deal & now appreciate him even more now, thanks to you, what the real man was like and what his real life was like. Makes me like him even more. All the best.

[@GospelGirl1Cor15]

I met Tony at the Night of 100 stars Oscar Gala at the Beverly Hills Hotel. I think it was in 2006. I have a pic with him. He was very happy and nice. That’s how I remember him.

[@jeffyork5766]

Jerry Skinner: Well done!!! I met Mr. Curtis very briefly in 1979. He was making a racehorse picture called "Little Miss Marker" in Santa Rosa, Calif. It was a remake of a Adolph Mengue and Shirley Temple movie. Mr Curtis's Characters name was Blackie, a Bookie. I was hired on as Rangler taking care of the horeses and as an extra. My father who was a Professional Jockey along with other jockeys rode the horses in the movie. One day I was walking to lunch and on my way past Mr Curtis and we gave each other a professional greeting and walked on. On my way back I noticed Mr. Curtis was riding a horse with my Dad's saddle underneath. Just thought I'd share that with y'all. Thank you.

[@robertwatson39]

Well done again Jerry, I’m never disappointed with your work. Can’t wait for your next instalment from Down Under.

[@Superfandangoo]

Thank you Jerry. As always, exceptional

[@asthecrowflies737]

No parent is obligated to leave their worldly possessions to their children when their spouse is still living. When my stepfather died, it all rightfully went to my mother. In 1950, mom was the screening room receptionist at Universal Studios when it was located on 5th Avenue in NYC. Tony was there with then-wife Janet Leigh. Mom gave him his mail every morning for two weeks. He was 26 and she was 16. She said he was the most gorgeous man she'd ever seen.

[@JustBeYouooh]

Well then his no obligated to give anything to wifey! Blood is thicker!

[@JustBeYouooh]

He seems to love young girls! Pervert

[@JacqsieRae]

He was Sooo handsome!

[@janettawallace3722]

He was a handsome man with those eyes that would mesmerize any woman.

[@yahiaziam1713]

Jerry, you did a very serious work on Tony Curtis life. Thank you.

[@maxwellworldwidehistorical3801]

Mr. Curtis is one of my favorite Actors and was very Personable and also Generous in conversation with persons. He was a Classy Gentleman too when it dictated. A Clever Man capable of capturing the imagination!!! Miss Jamie Leigh is very similar and also a Classy Person!!!

[@karenbrown4524]

Good land, kind sir, you do one hell of an admirable job with these documentaries. This was fascinating.

[@donprice9050]

Amazing biography as usual but the ending was epic! Thanks Jerry.

[@rolfsinkgraven]

He was one of my favorite actors, great story Mr Skinner.

[@aubiejazz]

Jerry, Another winner video! Makes me want to watch some of my Tony Curtis DVDs.

[@lindalue4504]

Thanks Jerry another great actor and very good looking one of my favourites there is not many left now it’s a shame because they are not like they used to be. Thanks again Jerry

[@Dentropolis]

Tony Curtis was a favourite actor of mine. You say that Houdini came out in 1953 which means I could have seen it at the Bayview theatre in Toronto when I was only 5. This may have occurred but since I have a strong memory of that entire movie I think I was at least a couple of years later than this. Maybe the manager brought it in as an older movie. Through my teens I saw all the light romantic comedies he was in with my girlfriend Christine. I always found you could count on a Tony Curtis movie. I later gained respect for his serious acting. Thanks for this.

[@mikeanderson8603]

He was outstanding in Houdini. I was only 9 yo when I saw it but it is still one of my favorite movies.

[@dianekennedy7086]

Good video as always, Jerry. I have to say that Tony Curtis was one of the most outspoken celebrities I've ever seen. He never pulled punches in interviews, and sometimes I winced at his answers. But an interesting person with an interesting career. Thanks again - Diane.

[@dariusdiamante317]

Excellent Work Sir!

[@KTHKUHNKK]

Hello Jerry I remember Tony Curtis well as I was a child and he was a star he was all over the place nice looking man did well for himself. Keith Kuhn

[@stevesrepairs3815]

Thanks Jerry that was another fantastic documentary of a great movie actor Tony was a great icon. Take care and all the best. Stevie

[@jeffreymcfadden9403]

Curtis and Douglas in "the vikings" is an awesome movie.

[@LisaD007]

This one was extra special, Jerry. Thank you so much.

[@bethbartlett5692]

Tony Curtis, an acquaintance of mine. What you saw on film, you experienced in person. A delicious energy of real, yourhful, fun. He was truly a positive individual, adored by his friends and family.

[@amalHope3]

When I was a teenager in Iraq, Tony Curtis was my dream secret boy Friend. He was so handsome. RIP Tony

[@supergormas]

Hi Jerry, actually at the 30th Academy Awards in 1957 Alec Guinness won Best Actor, the following year in 1958 Tony Curtis was nominated for Best Actor along with Sidney Poitier but it went to David Niven for his performance in Separate Tables! Still its a fine tribute to Tony Curtis!!

[@sandrasanders706]

Curtis said Poitier should have won the Oscar that year..one of my fav films The Defiant Ones...

[@bethbartlett5692]

[@WildWestGal]

Another great production, Jerry, thanks! I love the new look to the opening credits, the music, your narration (as always)! Looking forward to the next biography!

[@nativegyrl42]

My mother used to watch his movies when I was a kid. Thank you for letting me know more about him I didn't know he had married so many women. It was interesting to see his life and I didn't know mental illness was in his family either. You never know what people endure on their journey through life

[@justojime]

I had a brief encounter with Tony Curtis. And thought his sense of humor was insensitive. After watching this video, I feel I understand him a little better. Thank you.

[@pattiking725]

Always thrilled when I see you have posted a new vid. Love biographies. Thanks for all the work you put into your research. Keep um coming!

Lovely Stuff Jerry. I love your persona and voice. ♥️

[@mikeanderson8603]

Time flies? How true!

[@s95033]

Another great bio. Thanks Jerry!

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

I only found out after watching this video about Tony's connection with Jamie Lee Curtis and Janet Leigh. Great research and presentation, Jerry!

[@jpj028]

I met Tony Curtis and his Wife Jill at a soft opening of the Wynn Casino where he and his Wife joined me for a drink and great conversation. I lived in Northen Virginia and Jill brought up her passion of horses where she was familiar with the many horse farms in Middleburg, Virginia. Tony was a very nice man and I enjoyed my moment of meeting him.

[@hell0hkitty]

compelling story! thanks jerry, great job again!

[@Cookefan59]

Wow! That was an incredibly good production. I’ve always been a admirer of Tony Curtis. This documentary certainly did him and his family a great service. Many details that are not highlighted in his many interviews. The only thing that seems to be missing was that he also wrote an autobiography that is still available. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this and the gentleman who narrates has a wonderful almost whimsical tone that comes easy and smoothly. Very professional but also personable. I’ll be looking through some more of these to put in the Watchlist for later. Great job.

[@Hamigal]

So well done.Thanks Jerry. I really enjoyed this video and learned things I did not know. You do such a great job on these autobiographies.

[@joydunn2109]

Ohhhh 😢😢 so sorry about your son Mr. Curtis. He is such a Handsome son. So Heartbreaking may he RIP.

[@RONALDRENFRO83]

Regardless of his personal problems Tony acted with other great actors and had a huge Film success .

Excellent video - thank you, Jerry! I had no idea that he led such a difficult early life. The way he was treated by his mother, it's understandable why he was not very successful in his relationships. Makes me wish for a video about Jamie Lee (hint hint ;) because it makes you wonder how she seemed to manage to grow up to a decent woman!

[@mikeanderson8603]

Don't think she's decent.

Hey Jerry! Let's see a documentary on Gene Kelly...i saw one of his early film as a 3 Muskateer.1948.. His athletic abilities was incredible!

Thanks Mr Skinner for the documentary of Bernie Schwartz aka Tony Curtis.

[@DaiAtlus79]

He used to host a show called Hollywood Babylon, where he woudl share personal tidbits at the end of him and his career in Hollywood's Golden Age. One story i always remember was the one he told of when he had first adopted his stage name of Tony Curtis (as he was born Bernie Schwartz), and had been practicing his 'new' introduction for Hollywood parties , saying 'hi im tony curtis, hi im tony curtis' in hopes to work his old name out of his mouth. He had met someone, i cannot remember whom but he was nervous in their meeting, and when he went to introduce himself he said 'hi im bernie schwartz' lolololol
