New York: Morrow, c1993. First Edition. Hardcover. 25 cm, 352 pages, illus., footnotes, photo of Curtis with former owner taped inside board. Signed by the author. Derived from the Library Journal review. This is Tony Curtis's story in his own words, and it is a corker. His depiction of a boyhood as a poor New York City street kid, son of Hungarian immigrants, is moving as well as philosophical and is a recurring theme throughout his life and remarkably diverse career. Curtis offers a candid look at some of his films--from The Vikings to Some Like It Hot . There are many anecdotes about famous players. Curtis is frank about his personal life--four marriages, six children, addiction, sex, and friendships. In addition, coauthor Paris intersperses occasional ``boxed'' comments, quotes, and wonderful photos throughout the text. This is a literate, first-class, and absorbing. More
