TONY CURTIS
Tony Curtis

Nome: Bernard Schwartz
nascimento: 3 Junho, 1925
local: The Bronx, New York, USA

Ele estreou no cinema fazendo um gigolô em "Baixeza", o thriller de Robert Siodmak com Burt Lancaster e Yvonne De Carlo. Foi escolhido para o papel por sua beleza. Tony Curtis foi o protótipo do homem bonito em Hollywood, nos anos 1950. Isso lhe permitiu iniciar uma promissora carreira de galã, mas também lhe valeu não poucos problemas - era perseguido pelos gays da indústria, conta em sua autobiografia. "Nada contra, mas nunca foram o meu objeto de desejo", diz.
Tony Curtis que foi astro e galã, mas quase nada revela do extraordinário ator que ele conseguiu ser, às vezes. A comédia clássica Quanto Mais Quente Melhor, de Billy Wilder, o poderoso A Embriaguez do Sucesso, de Alexander Mackendrick, e o thriller O Homem Que Odiava as Mulheres, de Richard Fleischer, mostraram que o comediante do primeiro podia segurar um personagem trágico como Alberto DeSalvo, no último. Para fazer o estrangulador de Boston, Curtis engordou, colocou um nariz postiço. Fez tudo para disfarçar a cara de bonitão e exibir a extensão de seu talento
