One of the coolest moments of my life was at a charity function several years ago, marking the 80th birthday of Tony Curtis..He was standing at a table next to me, and I had a stool and he didn't...so I got up and offered him my chair. I mean, the Man was 80..AND he was Tony Curtis! So I offered my chair, and he turned around, sat down, smiled..and said in that thick Brooklyn accent.."Thanks, buddy!" I lived off that 'buddy' for months & months...Tony & Cary Grant..when stars were 'stars'...

I love that Tony is telling this. Cary stole this girls heart when I was just a small child. Now I’m 57, and I still fall in love every time I watch one of his movies.

Cary Grant has the best posture I've ever seen and the fact that you even notice the elegant way he walks is saying something!

Cary was so masculine, so handsome. I am 3 generation from this man's time and his, talent, looks and style captures my attention.

When his charcater masqueraded as a "wealthy millionaire" in "Some Like It Hot", Tony decided to use a "Cary Grant" impression, that's how much he admired the man. As Cary himself once said, "Everybody wants to be Cary Grant- even I want to be Cary Grant".

I imagine it's rare to find a Hollywood movie star that lives up to your expectations. Great memories from Tony Curtis.

I thought Tony Curtis did a pretty good job impersonating Cary Grant in "Some Like it Hot." What a cool tribute from him.

What a class act. And to hear Tony Curtis wax sentimental makes it even more poignant and rewarding. I could cry thinking how much I wish he or his likes walked amongst us more nowadays, I really could. I'll bet I'm not alone.

I loved when he did Cary Grant’s voice in Some Like It Hot! I knew that as a girl! Wonderful! 🙏🏼❤️. What a great tribute! Very nice!

Wow! How lucky was Tony Curtis to act alongside his movie idol - Amazing! 👏

Grant was a very special person and actor. It's easy to understand why Curtis loved the man. Millions of people did and still do

Not only he was classy and hansome: He was the greatest and finest comedian ever. And a ver talented actor too. He was the favorite leading man of Hitchcock.

Humble Tony didn't mind to take off his hat for his idol Cary Grant. That's class. RIP Tony Curtis

Cary Grant is the quintessential movie star.

*Both remembered long in the Future - Tony Curtis [1925-2010] and Cary Grant [1904-1986] True Legends.*

theres no film stars of today in that class.he was a legend

Omg. Beautiful every way you cut it. The fates were kind, getting Cary and Tony together, what a fabulous tribute.

Operation Petticoat is one of my favorite movies. Both had excellent parts in it and gave outstanding performances. I bought the movie in 2013, so i could always watch it.

as a bloke I would say that Cary Grant is the kinda man other blokes should emulate, a gentlemen whith style, wit, carisma and confidance.

Gary Grant was an icon. Still is. There's talk of him, and it's got a punch to it. But of all the things about him I respect, it was his absolute need to privacy. Noone like him or close to him now a days. Class.

The greatest star in Hollywood history in my opinion. It took me a while to realize this. There is simply no role he couldn't pull off. ...Not just pull off though...he absolutely nailed everything he ever did. It was so smooth it fooled some into thinking what he did was easy. He could be a buffoon or suave...didn't matter.

Wonderful appreciation of Cary Grant by Mr. Curtis. Two legends of the silver screen. Both quite irreplaceable.

Soooooo gorgeous . Can you still feel grief so long after his passing?😢

To me, Cary Grant and Clarke Gable were the icons of manhood in all its best qualities. Both men were talented comedians, great dramatic actors and enduring personalities.

Nice tribute, Cary Grant how handsome, and Tony Curtis love his dark hair and eyes.

What a lovely tribute, from such a big star himself. Surprising and touching.

Some of my favorite memories of my grandparents was watching old movies sandwiched between them on the couch as a little kid, miss those days.

They used to show old movies on the local NYC stations. Carey Grant was one of my favorites. When my kids were young they could not understand why their mother liked watching old black and white movies. Now they watch them, too.

thanks so much Cary and Tony for the memories and all the great movies that you both gave us :)

Tony Curtis did the best Cary Grant impression! RIP Tony.

Wonderful tribute from another great talent. They don’t make em like that anymore …

Wonderful, now I know why I loved Tony Curtis - Cary Grant. My first hero like Tony Curtis was Cary Grant and I was a little girl of 5 years having my birthday watching 'arsenic and old lace' I followed all his movies over the years and then I saw Tony Curtis and Jack Lemon With Marilyn Monroe and loved all three of them. I wanted to be Marilyn when I grew up.

Nice story! I'm a huge Cary Grant fan too but never heard that story before. So glad Mr Curtis shared this! I have seen the movie they were in together but now I want to watch it again with this new perspective.

Both very handsome, great actors….classic! 😊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍

RIP Tony Curtis. A great actor.

He was a great actor! Loved him in Arsenic and Old Lace!

"Nobody talks like that!" The funniest line in the movie.

Two actors with a great deal of class and talent - Curtis and Grant. What a fitting tribute. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, what a lovely tribute to a beloved, talented star, friend and inspiration. Wonderful video.

Cary has always been my favorite actor; they don't make them like that anymore.

Cary Grant.....a classy gent , from my little old England

Even after all these years with all the gossip about the long dead I have never heard a bad word spoken about this classy gentleman.

This was a beautiful memoir.

Tony Curtis served in the US Navy as a Signalman in the Subtender, USS Proteus AS 19 during WWII, watching the Japanese surrender in Tokyo Bay from the signal bridge. A painter, he donated 3 large impressionist paintings of the Hawaiian Islands to the Enlisted Club at Pearl Harbor. There is a small brass plaque that reads " Donated by SM3 Bernard Schwartz USN ", which is his real name.

I could watch this over and over and over.

"To absorb the qualities of the man." -Tony Curtis "Same." -Me

charismatic humble and most talented gentleman

Beautiful tribute from Tony Curtis to one if the greatest actor of golden era.💐💐💐

Cary was always kind to unknown movie actors. Movie mogul Jack Warner wanted him to play Prof Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady. But Cary insisted Rex Harrison was given the lead role alongside Audrey Hepburn. Rex Harrison won Best Actor Oscar as a result.

A classy tribute to a classy man.

This is Wonderful tribute to Cary! I can't say how much I love him and all his movies! He was so handsome, charming, funny,...and great actor!! Tony is great too, they were so funny and adorable in Operation Petticoat, super comedy!! Oh, I love you my darling:))

Cary Grant and Roslyn Russell in His Girl Friday inspired my newspaper career.

Great tribute!May they both rest in peace

R.I.P Tony Curtis I'll always remmember him for that Cary Grant impression in Some like it hot and Jack Lemmons line afterwards "...and what is with that accent? (puts on Cary Grant voice) Nobody talks like that!"

I'm 58 but I sure to miss all the great actors, actresses and movies we had back then.

Love Tony Curtis’ voice and accent

I'm still a little sad, knowing that Tony Curtis is gone, but he will always have a special place in my heart for making "Some Like It Hot". Brilliant movie in every way. I didn't realize that he was such a fan of Cary Grant, but he was amazing as the Shell Oil millionaire, Junior with the Cary Grant voice. I wish I had TCM!! I'm definitely going to rent more of Cary and Tony's movies!

No wonder Tony seemed familiar as the Millionaire, acting like Cary Grant

James Stewart, Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, they don't make actors or movies like they used to! Comedies used to be heart warming, with a sprinkle of romance. Now there is no mystery between the sexes, and comedies are full of swear words and, all too often, violence.

Loved this! Tony was a Class Act, and naturally, no was Grant. two giants from an Era long gone, sadly...

to bernard schwartz on the day he died, thank you tony for all you did

Wish I could have met him. Thanks for hosting, Tony!

People under the ago of 40 (50?) today have no idea who Tony Curtis or Cary Grant were. I'm glad to have been alive when they were making first-run films.

Ray Milland was another British actor who developed a mid-Atlantic type accent which is rare these days.

The most beautiful man … ever !!

If you watch "Operation Petticoat", you can clearly see how both, Cay Grant and Tony Curtis were compatible in this movie. Tony Curtis was a great actor in his own right.That he admired and easily learned from Cary Grant and admitted it publicly is a big plus for Tony. I enjoyed this documentary immensely. All bio" s on Cary Grant are my favoured in documentaries. I find in each and every one of them something new and enthralling. If you love Cary Grant as much as I do, you will also enjoy "La Mujer......." by Barbara Grant on YOU TUBE too. It is 9 min 34 sec documentary, exquisitely made for us by Barbara Grant-THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE.

What a perfectly lovely tribute...touching

How kind. Such a gracious tribute. 😊

Lovely tribute, Thanks Tony (Bernie Schwartz)

He was my favourite of all the leading men no match today sadly

The narration on this was fantastic! Thanks so much for posting this!

R.I.P. Tony Curtis... At least now he is with his idol, Cary Grant. Maybe they will entertain all the people who have gone to heaven by making new movies again... Both Tony Curtis and Cary Grant were great actors, I think however Grant had something that made him that little bit more successful and attractive. RIP both of you, great gentlemen!

What a lovely tribute from one iconic movie star to another.

Terrific commentary. I've heard this and other comments by Tony on Cary.

My favorite childhood movie brought me so much joy.

who gives a f**k if he wa this or that! For me Cary Grant is unique. Watching him in many films when I was younger (and I'm just in my early 40's), he just made me smile aned only now, realise how unique he was. Cheers Archibald, for all your wonderful work!

Hands-down, funniest romantic comedy movie I've ever seen, although all of his were great, was Cary Grant in "The Awful Truth" (1937), co-starring Irene Dunn. They were so believable as an estranged husband and wife in it, and she most definitely held up her end of the comedy! One of many best parts is the formal dance scene. Do watch it!

GREAT tribute

What an inspiring production. Two of my heroes and role models, but I didn't know Tony was into him like that when he was growing up

One of the all time greats!!!

Just lovely...

Cary and Tony both gorgeous and great actor's

RIP to both of them 😔

What a man!

What a wonderful and heartfelt tribute to my favourite male actor of the Golden Age.

What a Lovely Tribute

It's freaky that Tony Curtis impersonated Cary Grant, and then immediately got to work with him. I always assumed it was the other way round.

Loved Cary Grant.

f you buy some Cary Grant DVD's, Tony Curtis does an epilogue to most of them at the start of the DVD. This is his intro before To Catch a Thief.

Lovely, truly lovely.

The scenes in 'Operation Petticoat', where Tony Curtis steals the pig just crack me up,thanks guys.

they were great together in that movie about the submarine in ww2. Mr Holden, the only man to get the Navy Cross at his court martial!

Awesome actor! Also trivia of South Park's Kyle Schwartz got me here😆

Beautiful tribute.

One of the All Time Funny Movies, Operation Petticoat...

Cary Grant is the sexiest man that ever lived!

This is beautiful!

One of my all time favorites idolizing another of my all time favorites. Wonderful. 🙂

All this about whether or not he was straight, gay or bi? He was a husband to four wives and a father, he was pretty much everything man aspires to be, he was a legend on the screen, does it matter in face of all that?

Bernie Schwartz says in this piece that Cary was a "true gentleman." I'd say he was a mensch!
