Tony Curtis, 82, was surprised and delighted to find himself at Harrod’s in London this week selling his Hollywood inspired artwork for up to $30,000 per item. He almost died in 2006 when he spent 7 weeks in the hospital with pneumonia. Since then he has been slowly recovering and regaining the use of his limbs, with the help of his much younger wife Jill. After that near-fatal hospitalization he stopped wearing the pompadour toupee that he has worn for years, and seems happy without it.

I got to meet Mr. Curtis a few years ago and even had breakfast with him. He was adorable! He sneaked(but never got away with) appreciative glances at my bosom. But it was NOT in a lecherous way. It was, as I said, appreciative. And he never made a lewd comment. He was a gentleman. And I had to give him kudos at his age for appreciating a woman’s assets!!!! ^..^
What, no sad clown paintings? His “art” looks DREADFUL. And his favorite subject seems to be himself.
JILL is much, much younger and stuck by him when he was so ill. It was a miracle he recovered, and there is a possibility that she was glad he recovered. I think she was mostly glad.
Jill was a very concerned wife throughout Bernie’s ordeal, staying at his bedside round the clock. He did have to tell her more than once, however, that after fluffing his pillows, they needed to be placed under his head — not over his face.
Good for him that he is able to walk, talk even most working. God bless Jill to making him better her karma will shine through everywhere she goes.
Maybe is a jobless tony better for us all, folks?
When I lived in LA in 1974 I met this guy outside of the art museum who claimed to be his brother. He looked like a fat slobby Tony Curtis. Of course I assumed it was another line (OMG everybody out there has one) to try and get you know what. Does or did he have a brother?
That tough old nut will most likely outlive Jill…..truth be told, he’s wearing her out.
Tony has 2 brothers per Wiki
An old goat with money and no where to put “it.” I’d fluff his pillows, too.
I can’t stand him or his art. Why doesn’t he go away. Another over-rated NOBODY.
He and Paul Newman were the same age and both beautiful in their prime, but Newman remained handsome until his death. Tony, on the other hand, hit a brick wall about 35 or 40 years ago. Now he looks like somebody’s great-grandmother!
I wonder how many times he’s told that, “kissing Marilyn was like kissing Hitler,” story — and listeners have wished he would trade places with her.
