Tony Curtis was the golden price of Hollywood's Golden Age, and the story of how Bernard Schwartz, a nice Jewish boy from the Bronx, became a silver-screen idol, whose ducktail haircut even Elvis emulated, is a biopic waiting to happen. Fortunately, the star of such classics as The Sweet Smell of Success and Spartacus — not to mention father of Jamie Lee Curtis — remains with us to tell the tale in person. Tonight, Curtis dishes on his charmed and difficult life, then presents a screening of one of his most beloved performances opposite Marilyn Monroe in Billy Wilder's cross-dressing romantic comedy Some Like It Hot (1959).
