American Prince
Author: Tony Curtis, Peter Golenbock
|
|
|
He was a star at the height of Hollywood’s Golden Age. He earned his fame playing Houdini, starring in Spartacus and making comedy history with Jack Lemmon in the unforgettable Some Like It Hot directed by the great Billy Wilder. He romanced Marilyn Monroe, Janet Leigh, Natalie Wood, and other beauties of the day. Tony Curtis, born Bernard Schwartz to immigrant parents, lived the life he had dreamed of growing up in the Bronx. In his new autobiography American Prince: A Memoir (Harmony), he shares the story of his hard-knocks childhood, his wild days as a Hollywood playboy, his destructive drug addiction, and his life now as an artist at eighty years old. American Prince tells the whole story — sparing no detail, no name, and no ego. Mr. Curtis talks intimately about the people he has known during his long, illustrious career, his co-stars, the studio owners, his wives, his lovers, and his friends. It is this book, he says, that will be the true record of his life. For a chance to try and win a free copy of American Prince, just follow the sweepstakes link on this page.
