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

JERRY SKINNER IS A DOCUMENTARY ICON

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

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.........

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.

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.

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.

I absolutely loved all of Toni‘s work with Jack. I always thought they made the best combination for a movie.

God Bless him RIP Tony! He was my favorite actor 💚💜💛💙💚❤

Jerry, you've done it again. Tony Curtis was and sti5is one of the greatest actors who've ever lived, aside from Charlton Heston or Clark Gable.

He was Sooo handsome!

Still the best documentaries on youtube. Thank you Mr. Skinner. 👏👏👏

Thank you, Jerry, for another excellent biography of an old fashioned movie star of the old time Hollywoodland era! Well done, sir! WELL DONE!

Always loved Tony Curtis's work.

Bravo, Mr. Skinner. You did it again.

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.

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

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

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.

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

You Are Family Mr. Skinner.....Thank You as always for bringing your stories to ALL of our Kitchen Tables and reciting the tales in your home spun voice! You Are Appreciated.....Cheers From Ohio

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.

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

Mr Skinner it's an enormous pleasure to see the excellent work you've done with Mr. Anthony Curtis, one of my favorite actors.The way you go and unravel the complicated life some of them have lived, then shairing with us the finish work is amazing. Thank you so much.

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.

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!!

That's an amazing story about Tony Curtis thank you Jerry. Keith Kuhn

It would have meant more if Tony and Jill had as much sympathy toward his children as they did towards horses. Those are great insightful words. No one likes to be cast off by their parents and watch strangers grab with both hands. They should have been considered even to a small degree, Better than none.

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

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

Such a handsome man. Great actor Ty again Jerry well done as always

'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.

Excellent Work Sir!

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!!!

Thank you Jerry. As always, exceptional

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

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

Tony was never afraid he wouldn't be cast in movies because he was Jewish. That must be a story he thought would be good to tell. Hollywood is a Jewish entity, being Jewish would never have stood in his way and was probably a huge asset for him. He turned out to be a terrible womanizer and never grew up in that regard. but considering all he had to overcome early in life, he did well for himself. You did a fantastic job on this.

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

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

RIP Tony Curtis, handsome, very, very yalented, hilarious and never forgotten. How fleeting time is. Tempus fugit.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Tony Curtis and the Ferrari Dino 246GT from "The Persuaders" was the most perfect partnership.

Another great bio. Thanks Jerry!

Another Great production Mr. Skinner. Thanks.

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

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.

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

I like your new intro and music....Thanks again my friend....Hope you are in good health....!

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.

another professionally done piece. Sir, you know your stuff.

i dont watch most of the vids on youtube fully and i skip a lot but yours i watch and thoroughly enjoy them, thank you for the upload.

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

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

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

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

compelling story! thanks jerry, great job again!

I recall in U.K. in middle 1950s many young men would go to Barbers/ gents hairdressers, ask for Tony Curtis, hair style. Peace to all.

Lots of interesting facts that I didn't know.Thanks...

Thank you for all your wonderful videos. God bless you.

You Jerry are an artist. This was beautiful.

Another great biography. Thank you Sir for sharing!

Wonderful Jerry, really took a back one this one. Really great my friend, please keep them coming, Augie Blase 🤠

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

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!

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!

Superb Mr. Skinner, as usual.

Always loved Tony Curtis

Nicely done Jerry.

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!

You did an amazing job on this documentary. So thorough, detailed, and so many cracks were filled in with solid facts. Thank you.

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.

Skinner does the best.

Another great job!! that last shot with the overlapping photos was superb. Good editing.

So good, Mr. Skinner!! Thank you.

I will never forget you or Jamie Lee Curtis. You will always be in my heart ♥. Xxxxxx

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

Great video Jerry, thanks !

Thank you for your upload!

Superb Jerry absolutely superbly done. I hope you're doing okay in these crazy times. Keith Kuhn

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.

Good one Love watching his movies I love your videos keep them coming

just brilliant thank you.

Another masterpiece

Another job well done Jerry!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Thankyou ,my favourite film of Tonys was the great race

Another excellent job!

Jerry,my brother at Arms, stellar job as always! Thank you my friend. From the Rockies of Utah.🍻

We was definitely one of my favourites, thank you

Mr Tony Curtis ******** great actor An Icon - The Defiant Ones great movie .R.I.P.

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!
