Tony Curtis, Hollywood Icon, Dies at 85,
The A.P. Reports
Tony Curtis, a classically handsome movie star who earned an Oscar nomination as an
escaped convict in Stanley Kramer's 1958 movie "The Defiant Ones," but whose public
preferred him in comic roles in films like "Some Like It Hot" (1959) and "The Great
Race" (1965), died Wednesday of a cardiac arrest in his Las Vegas area home.
He was 85. His death was confirmed by the Clark County coroner, The Associated Press reported. As a performer, Mr. Curtis drew first and foremost on his startlingly good looks. With his dark, curly hair, worn in a sculptural style later imitated by Elvis Presley, and plucked eyebrows framing pale blue eyes and wide, full lips, Mr. Curtis embodied a new kind of feminized male beauty that came into vogue in the early 1950s.
