His only brush with Oscar came with a role alongside Sidney Poitier in <em>The Defiant Ones<\/em>, for which he was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor gong. Among his many, many film appearances, his most memorable include <em>Some Like It Hot<\/em>, with Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe, <em>Sweet Smell Of Success<\/em>, <em>Spartacus<\/em>, <em>Sex &amp; The Single Girl<\/em>, <em>The Great Race<\/em>, <em>Naked In New York<\/em> and the 1976 version of<em> The Count Of Monte Cristo<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Curtis was the father of Hollywood actress Jamie Lee Curtis, and was once married to <em>Psycho<\/em> femme fatale Janet Leigh.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He died overnight from a heart attack, aged 85.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_14448\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14448\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14448 \" title=\"curtis\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/curtis.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/curtis.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/curtis-221x300.jpg 221w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14448\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tony Curtis with Marilyn Monroe in 1959&#39;s Some Like It Hot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>News broke this morning (Australian Time) that legendary actor Tony Curtis has passed away.
