Tony always had the ability to laugh at himself. Never took himself too seriously. A very appealing characteristic. George Hamilton, and Shatner have the same appeal.
About 11 years ago. My mom was in Vegas for a few days, and we went to a local grocery store. There were some slots in there so we left mom there while we got a few things . This man sat down next to her and started playing also. Mom was 87 then. She accidentally dropped a dollar bill, and this man reached down and picked it up for her. They started chatting. When we came to get mom, we immediately knew this fellow was Tony Curtis!! When mom stood up, she said, nice talking with you. I have to say, you look familiar, but don't know why, he said, my name is Tony Curtis. We all laughed and said good bye. What a nice gentleman.
Pure class. What a gentleman and a complete dreamboat. And, of course, he helped make it socially acceptable for men to dress as women in entertainment. :)
I must have the giggles today, I cant stopping LMAO with Dame and actor Bernie Schwartz aka beloved Tony Curtis. @5:23 it is PRICELESS 'Hey Charlie'....That's New York !
Comedic Genius. Both very funny, neither stole from each other, shared the Limelight. Perfect. Both moved on now. Heaven is Richer with their presence.
Tony Curtis is the only guest on Dame Edna who could get a word or story in without The Great Dame looking chagrin at being upstaged. He/She was actually interested in his stories.
Dame Edna is amazing as always & Tony Curtis seems really charming & likeable. What I can't reconcile is that he didn't get on with his daughter Jamie Lee & they apparently didn't talk or see each other for years. Almost to the point where she said in an interview "I don't have a father". Just seems bizarre.
I think they made up in later years. fyi/he was born Bernard Schwartz in the Bronx. My neighbor, Ira, used to deliver kosher meat to his family's apartment...@180th and the Grand Concourse.
people's persona on light entertainment as opposed to real two different things I guess . I think his daughters were protective of their mother as he wasn't a great husband to her by all accounts
...and perhaps not a great father to his 2 daughters either. Either way, the entertainment industry creates (arguably) impossible standards for any of us to keep and magnifies our foibles. Tony/Bernards's long career....separate from family and marriage issues, however, does speak for itself. I don't think there's been a documented problem with any of his co-stars...co-actors/ directors /producers in a production.
Public image is carefully invented. In private they are always different. Jamie knew the real Tony Curtis. If he was actually like this there would have been no problem.
I've always liked Tony, but I grew up at that time, before computers, so he could have been crap, for all I know. After all the bad news coming out of Hollywood. Who knows, but I always loved him. God bless all!

Yes the vast majority of men don't have natural hair that looks that good by that age anymore. I can't believe that there's still no cure for baldness in 2021, son of a bitch!!!
Edna and Tony produce such delightful, intelligent laugh-out-loud repartee...!
hes so genuine i love him and how accepting he is of everything
Genuine?! Sitting there with the most obvious syrup ever weaved...... yeah, alright!
Love Tony's voice and accent!
Tony was a great raconteur. I love the stories he tells about his life and the lessons he learned along the way.
Rest in Peace Mr. Tony Curtis . We'll miss you indeed .
Thanks for the clip . Wonderful experience . LONG LIVE Queen Edna !
Tony Curtis was true Hollywood royalty. We don't have stars like that any longer.
No Hollywood stars anymore so true
Thanks for putting this up. It was a pleasure to watch.
As handsome as Tony Curtis is here, his personality is impossibly appealing...so charming...!
Handsome?!!! That syrup he's balancing on his head is absurd.

When Tony was younger and in his prime...WOW!!!
+Kelly Nodwell yea, he was so handsome ;) :D
@@marilynncarter1057 We all do.

Tony was hillllarious in my favorite ever comedy as a woman.FANTASTIC
Oh how adorable- he brought her nice gifts.
Beautiful I love you Tony !!

thank you so much for uploading the video. love the interview!
“I don’t splash out on my underwear Tony” LOL.
A bloody genius, Barry Humphreys.
Tony Curtis was a great guest. 06:55 "Men in frocks are yucky to me" :-D :-D :-D
God bless Dame Edna!!
Great video. Great Tony !!
BOTH OF THESE TWO WERE THE BIGGEST STARS
Dame Edna still is in 2018.
MEGA Stars, in fact.
Comedic Genius. Both very funny, neither stole from each other, shared the Limelight. Perfect. Both moved on now. Heaven is Richer with their presence.
Priceless!
Tony was still very handsome here!!
Absolutely delightful😁😍😍🤣
He was a lovely man 👨
That was one handsome man

Yes but Janet Leigh never got over him u know
How funny is the dry reaching at Edna's thought of men in women's clothing! Hysterical!
Brilliant
They work very well together. Funny that.
such a dear,nice person..
A Fish Called Wanda and Some Like It Hot are two of the funniest movies of all time.🤔🤔😄
Tony’s wiping away at his head while Dame Edna doesn’t break a sweat :)
Well his syrup is made from cheaper material so as a consequence, apart from being embarrassingly obvious, it has a propensity to cause perspiration.
Probably the alcoholic sweats, which can happen on winter day in Chicago.
Tony Curtis was the movies

such a good sport!
About Mae West; Tony Curtis was confused about her age. Mae west died when she was 87 years old. How could she have been 92 in the film Sextette?
I noticed that too. She would’ve been 85 when it was filmed not 92
Mae West wasn't 92, she died in 1980 at 87, two years after that film
You know what they say, don't let the truth get in the way of a good story.
que divertido.
Yo miraba dos tipos audases como me divertí a con Tony curtis de Argentina 🇦🇷💪💪💪😁👍
Amaaaazing
can clearly see he is wearing a hair piece. but such a charming man
She had some great guests on the dame edna expierence but tony curtis had to be the best
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ms WEST WAS NOT 92, As Mr Curtis says, (8:18) , but was 84.
I know it's a wig, but Mr. Curtis still looks and acts youthful here at 64.
Poor Madge 👻
I recently discovered that Tony Curtis was a distant cousin of mine!😃
Interesting! Is he Dutch? I've never heard his non-scripted voice before this!
Basil Brush no, he is of Hungarian descent.
Thanks for that! He was quite a looker, and Jamie-Lee too
Basil Brush you're welcome. They really are!😊
😉
they dont make 'em like they used to
what the hell happened to Madge?
love you
Tony is wearing 3" heels.
a younger version of tony curtis could play an older version of ray liotta in a future version of goodfellas
Mega successful especially with women but he was very successful- handsome helps
Gotta say Tony had an excellent hair piece. Wish he had let tony bennet have the guys number.
Curtis is sweating ... why I wonder?
el padre de Jamie Lee Curtis es el entrevistado

Many successful people are Jewish and Christian - so what
