I agree - it is just CLICKBAIT - post a sensationalist scandalous type title to get viewers to watch the video - I voted it thumbs down. He was a brilliant actor but a horrible person - I believe Kim Novak - when Tony Curtis filmed "Some Like it Hot" with Marilyn Monroe he said rotten things about her and said "It was like kissing Hitler" - probably Monroe refused to have sex with him so he decided to trash her and defame her.
RIP Mr Curtis, I met him coming out of a large hotel in Cannes France He was very nice and asked if we would like our photo with him, my girlfriend was so happy to get photo taken with him, it was just a brief moment, but he really was so nice.This was in 1975.
She was pretty until she had plastic surgery and ruined her face. Now she looks like a monster. Why women do this themselves I’ll never know. It’s just crazy. 🫤
Because back in the 1950s - 1960s if an actress accused a huge star like Tony Curtis of rape, drugging her or even sexual harrassment her career would have been RUINED. Nobody would have supported Kim Novak. In the end she left Hollywood at the very peak of her career because she was fed up with the entertainment industry. She launched a career as a highly talented painter - her artwork is outstanding. She was an art major in college but left it to start modelling which led to acting.
@@colleenwhalen6981 That's true, but there was a long period between 1970 and Curtis' death in 2010. It's also true that it happened in his and Janet Leigh's house. But unless they were the only three persons in the house, her accusation is speculation.
Yes, I did read somewhere how Tony Curtis was instrumental in behaving badly with Kim Novak. She was invited to his and Janet Leigh's house for some party back in the 50's. She had no recollection of what transpired at that party. All she recalls is finding herself nude in one of the guest rooms when she awoke. Obviously, someone spiked her drink, after which she collapsed. This being Curtis' home, naturally the finger of suspicion pointed towards him.
Right, but such an accusation is speculation. If there were other people there she can't accuse him. She's assuming, not knowing. I'm sure she's still angry about the situation, and probably at herself as well for attending such a party.
She had no recollection of what transpired at that party. Sure, you bet. A fucking Hollywood party where movie STARS GO WILD. So, "obviously" someone spiked her drink. Grow up.
I think it was probably someone else at the party with bad intentions, not Tony. Especially with his wife present at the time. I just don't see that happening and she doesn't even speculate on if she was assaulted or not. Are we supposed to fill in the blanks or did nothing else happen. If she wasn't molested, then she herself could have taken off her clothes in a drunken state and not remembered doing it. Lots of people who drink do weird things such as sleepwalk or wake up in a neighbor's house thinking it was their own.
@@ronwilliams2647 And you know this how, exactly? Did you witness those incidents? It's very easy to bad mouth someone who is dead. I'd be asking her why she decided to say these things now, nearly 70 years later - is it for money?
It was 50 years before Princess Diana's brother, Charles Spencer, was able to speak out and confront the brutal beatings, emotional and sexual abuse he and the other boys experienced by the headmaster and other teachers at the boarding school. Trauma is not easily confronted.
We don't know any of these people, how can anyone judge? We have no idea what they were like in private. Best left to the people who knew and know instead of total strangers.
While he was an accomplished actor he miserably failed as a good husband and father Who leaves their children out of their will? Disgusting in my opinion !

Kim Novak has every right to talk about this situation. It was his house. Worst case scenario he did this. Best case scenario he had someone in his house who was dangerous. Not okay. Slipping someone a mickey in a drink can be a very deadly thing. Not a joke.
I first saw him when I was 10 years old. I am now 72 yrs. old. He was in a movie that he was a young solider riding a train with his uniform, dark hair and stunningly beautiful blue eyes. He was breathtaking. I love being entertained by the actors but find their person trash disturbing,

Kim Novak has a right to express her experiences. I wish that these cases would be addressed while both parties are alive and can pursue litigation; unfortunately, in traumatic sexual abuse/ assault cases, it may be emotionally impossible for victims to come forward in a timely manner under the law as currently established; however these “statutes of limitations” need revision. We do not know the legal truth, but Ms. Novak has every right to tell her story. It is up to you (the reader/ listener) whether you choose to believe her or not. Sexual abuse/assault must be stopped and victims adequately compensated and abusers punished to the full extent of the law
finally: someone who knows how to get to the point. i don't know what kim accused the lesser painter of but she and janet leigh were the two most perfect blonde actresses of that era and he screwed them both over apparently. i admire him as an actor and growing up in the back drop of familial mental illness and becoming a jewish hollywood star in the aftermath of the holocaust forgives a lot of things but not of harming kim novak or janet leigh (especially kim).
As far as Kim Novak's accusation, Hollywood has always been a vicious place. And she really just seemed to drop out of the movie business even when she was - as an agent would say - very bankable As far as the Metoo movement, on the one hand I think of how difficult that would be to bring an accusation to someone with an international following and movie studios wanting to keep their investment. That's what "fixers" were for during the studio system through the 1950s. On the other hand I think of how hypocritical virtually everyone is in that industry. How many knew about Harvey Weinstein and said nothing? On the other hand I've always thought to there were a small minority of women who use the movement for blackmail. Any male studio head who interviews a young female star or starlet without a another female in attendance is either looking for trouble or foolish The fact that she just disappeared from Hollywood lends credence to her accusation By the way she lived in Big Sur for years And you all know that her house in Oregon burned and she lost most of her Hollywood Momentos?
Kim Novak was good in a few of her early films especially Hitchcock's Vertigo . Not so sure about Curtis and Marilyn having an affair , I thought he barely tolerated her in Some Like it Hot . Curtis was a great actor in his early films but came across as a sleazeball in the Persuaders with Roger Moore . It's very difficult to know the truth and who is telling the truth . The party that Novak went to was given by Curtis and his wife so would he really have fooled around with Janet there . We don't know who else was at the party and her drink could have been spiked by anyone .

I liked him as a actor but Tony was not a "devoted father " ever, even his kids who still loved him would agree with that, Tony Loved being Tony Curtis, more than anything, even his children, and wives, and that meant everything else took a back seat. yes he loved his children in his own way, but they had to compete with his love of being Tony Curtis. Tony loved performing and acclaim and those things were central to his life. Through them he transcended the poverty, suffering, and tragedy of his early years.
Kim Novak didn't have to be an extrodinary actress.Her just being there with her beauty was more than renough to gasp! Naturally beautiful.I hope she can have something done to correct her present look,& the surgery mistake.
The beginning of 1958 novak was forced to breakup with sammy Davis jnr, her only ever true love, he within weeks went on to marry a dancer, she went into a spiral
It could well be, that he spiked her drink with vodka in order to improve his odds in the bedroom later on. She was at his party so ' caveat emptor' applies as he cannot be held responsible for the quantity of alcohol she consumes to relax at social occasions. Dulling the senses to lessen one's inhibitions via the effect's of alcohol is like playing with fire. She was perhaps the top Hollywood sex-goddess at the time, but we are only guessing as to whether he thought she was worth the effort when his strike rate, cold sober, was 50 - 50. About 50 years ago a little bird spilled the beans on sex by saying to me ' Guys don't realize that we like sex as much as them'.
I don’t understand why Kim Novak comes out with this now what’s the point does she really think people believe her now. And how does she know Tony made the drink and didn’t just hand it to her. Sounds kinda weird to me
It's strange how these situations come up from so-called powerful, intelligent talented men. All ya gotta do is put the Quaalude in the Jello pudding... Peace on earth.
Curtis could have sex with thousands of willing and beautiful women without breaking the law and putting anything in their drink. It is ridiculous to believe that Curtis would risk his career and freedom to commit a serious crime against a co-worker. Memories change with the passage of time and are quite malleable and cannot/should not be trusted. Certainly she would have reported him to many other people at the time if this had actually happened.
I have never heard of any type , of accusation. Aginst Tony Curtis. If he did this . Why just once? There is no evedince. Curtis cannot be questioned. Who mixed the drink? Was any one ealse there?. Were would he have gotten it from? I have never heard of any one around who could get that.
If this happened in the sixties then why wait so long and until he is dead to say this . I don't believe her . I think she has a long held grievance and just wants to tarnish his fame now that he can't defend himself . A woman scorned and all that . And just because a woman says something does not make it true just because she's a woman saying it .
Kim Novak was amazing, had an amazing career and I do believe her, she had lots of emotional issues that were helped apparently by marrying a veterinarian and working with animals. I am glad she survived. Tony Curtis end of days apparently was being married to his new wife who made off with all the family inheritance, due to the will he left. not a good look. reminds me of Peter Falk and that fiasco and how he ended up. you marry wrongly and see what happens. be wary of poison in pretty bottles or a devil in a blue dress is all I'm gonna say. Loved Kim and wish her the best.......
So decades later she decided to fling mud at a dead man’s legacy, did she pass out at the party and Tony carried her to the bedroom, or she walked knowingly to the room and bed but missed out on the event due to being drunk 🥱

Kim Novak didn't have to be an extrodinary actress.Her just being there with her beauty was more than renough to gasp! Naturally beautiful.I hope she can have something done to correct her present look,& the surgery mistake.
Tony Curtis did many good works, why poit out only his failings, Let him rest in Peace
All artists are a bit off.
No biggie!
The beginning of 1958 novak was forced to breakup with sammy Davis jnr, her only ever true love, he within weeks went on to marry a dancer, she went into a spiral
It could well be, that he spiked her drink with vodka in order to improve his odds in the bedroom later on. She was at his party so ' caveat emptor' applies as he cannot be held responsible for the quantity of alcohol she consumes to relax at social occasions. Dulling the senses to lessen one's inhibitions via the effect's of alcohol is like playing with fire. She was perhaps the top Hollywood sex-goddess at the time, but we are only guessing as to whether he thought she was worth the effort when his strike rate, cold sober, was 50 - 50. About 50 years ago a little bird spilled the beans on sex by saying to me ' Guys don't realize that we like sex as much as them'.
I don’t understand why Kim Novak comes out with this now what’s the point does she really think people believe her now. And how does she know Tony made the drink and didn’t just hand it to her. Sounds kinda weird to me
Her statements are just for attention, shes completely forgotten today.....she's desperate
Did you tune in to find out about what Kim Novak accused Tony Curtis of doing? Go to the end of the video. It's click bait until 17:35.
I don't believe his late in life story about him and Marilyn.
I think it was an attention grabbing lie.
Especially when he said working with her was like working with Hitler.
dont doubt her one bit
Get to the point of what this video is supposed to be about.
My first reaction is when after they die so not here to defend themselves , the creeps who need cash , come out of the Woods
Well that's 21 minutes of my life I'll never get back.
Tony was our cousin we never met. He was on HSN selling his art on 4 different necklaces.
My dad knew him before he went to Hollywood.
Novak's claims are unfounded. Any of her problems, sadly came from her well public association with Sammy Davis Jr.
Oh Kim, what have you done to yourself😮 😢
Ms. Novak is real hero!!!
It's strange how these situations come up from so-called powerful, intelligent talented men.
All ya gotta do is put the Quaalude in the Jello pudding...
Peace on earth.
Curtis could have sex with thousands of willing and beautiful women without breaking the law and putting anything in their drink. It is ridiculous to believe that Curtis would risk his career and freedom to commit a serious crime against a co-worker.
Memories change with the passage of time and are quite malleable and cannot/should not be trusted. Certainly she would have reported him to many other people at the time if this had actually happened.
I have never heard of any type , of accusation.
Aginst Tony Curtis. If he did this .
Why just once? There is no evedince.
Curtis cannot be questioned. Who mixed the drink?
Was any one ealse there?. Were would he have gotten it from?
I have never heard of any one around who could get that.
Tony Curtis was gorgeous!
Almost 18 minutes before the title of the video is addressed.
If this happened in the sixties then why wait so long and until he is dead to say this . I don't believe her . I think she has a long held grievance and just wants to tarnish his fame now that he can't defend himself . A woman scorned and all that . And just because a woman says something does not make it true just because she's a woman saying it .
Spoken like a true denier!
HASBEEN NOVAK CANT GET ANY OTHER ATTENTION?
Thank you for this video. I am a fan of Tony Curtis.❤
I thought she was a boring actress
So Tony Curtiss taught Bill Cosby everything he knew. Give him a Jello pop.
I believe it for sure, of course we will never know for sure, but I'm sure Curtis got up to all kind of mischief back in the day.
Roofied by Tony? So sad and pathetic that he had to do that. Cowardly and dark if true. But l do believer her.
Where is her proof? Tony was a stand up guy and a great actor, some people didn't like that fact.
So, this is the latest hack for putting protected media on the air: "age it" as if the film were damaged.
Kim Novak was amazing, had an amazing career and I do believe her, she had lots of emotional issues that were helped apparently by marrying a veterinarian and working
with animals. I am glad she survived. Tony Curtis end of days apparently was being married to his new wife who made off with all the family inheritance, due to the will he left. not a good look. reminds me of Peter Falk and that fiasco and how he ended up. you marry wrongly and see what happens. be wary of poison in pretty bottles or a devil in a blue dress is all I'm gonna say. Loved Kim and wish her the best.......
Curtis was superb, one of the ‘greats’ … from nowhere to the glittering heights of stardom …
1958 , now!! statement I think nothing , He was great actor which there is no more .
I don't believe Kim Novak.
Not a clue about Novak, but what a bunch of narcistic people. Leave them be and appreciate their acting work.
A zig zag through time is not how to tell a story….stay on track decade through decade….not a great way to tell a man’s life story.
At 18:55, Ms. Novak is totally unrecognizable, due to the plastic surgeries she had.
Borderline clickbait.1.5 x at least.
Click bait
These UA-cam videos are mostly introductions with only a few minutes of what they state to be.
These video of cheap sensationalism in order to make a buck at a dead persons expense are disturbing. I hope one of his relatives sues the maker...
She is always accusing someone.
I like tony Curtiss but his private life it's his private life !
So decades later she decided to fling mud at a dead man’s legacy, did she pass out at the party and Tony carried her to the bedroom, or she walked knowingly to the room and bed but missed out on the event due to being drunk 🥱
Kim Novak. Also was a
Woman who Frank Sinatra and. Many of his
Buddy's carried on with at. Sinatras. Hotells and casinos.! That his boss

Jeeze. It's 19:21 before you even get to the point. Meanwhile, Tony Curtis isn't around for a rebuttal
If you suspect you don’t know for sure so shut up Kim Novak.
she knows
Stories and situations of the past just like todays.
It probably happened but so long ago and told way after his death. Does it do any good?
I like Kim Novak. Cold blonde look. I love her movies. Bell, book and Candle. Vertigo.
I had a crush on Kin back in the lste 50s after seeing her in Hitchcock's Vertigo. I thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world.
Some like it hot is one of my favorite movies it was hilarious and i still watch it when i want a good laugh 😂
What happened?
Legendary? Iconic? Sez who?
I thought Tony Curtis was gay
Tony Curtis was NOT a homosexual/gay, however, the gay community fantasized about him back then. It was wishful thinking on their part.
Obviously not but he did refer, I believe, to his casting couch moment which he said was the norm.
