Tony Curtis Dead at 85

Former American film actor Tony Curtis passed away on Wednesday after suffering a heart attack. He appeared in well over 100 films during his time in Hollywood.

Curtis was married to 6 different women during his long and eventful life. His first wife Janet Leigh was also an actress. Leigh passed away in 2004. His other wives included Christine Kaufmann, Leslie Allen, Andria Savio, Lisa Deutsch, and Jill Vandenberg whom he was married to at the time of his death.

Curtis was named “Bernard Schwartz” when he was born, but later changed his name. He was born in the Bronx to father Emanuel Schwartz and mother Helen Klein. Both of his parents were Hungarian Jews, who immigrated to the United States from Mateszalka, Hungary. Curtis didn’t learn English until he was 5 years old, as his parents only spoke Hungarian at home.

Something a lot of people didn’t know about Tony Curtis, is that he served in the United States Navy aboard the USS Proteus, and got to witness the Japanese surrender in Tokyo bay, from only 1 mile away.

Jamie Lee Curtis was the daughter of Tony, and Janet Leigh. She is also an American actress and author.

Tony Curtis is dead at the age of 85. He will be missed.
