Tony has displayed his versatility in a wide range of roles including Houdini, the Boston Strangler and Casanova. Because he’s appeared in 88 films, it’s difficult to pick a favorite Tony Cutis movie. However, his portrayal of Joe/Josephine in Some Like It Hot would surely rank high on almost everyone’s list!

Some Like It Hot was voted #1 on the American Film Institute list of 100 Funniest Movies as well as #14 on its list of the 100 Greatest Movies. The film also received five Oscar nominations (one win for costumes), three Golden Globe Awards, a Grammy nomination, and many other accolades.

What was it like filming this Hollywood classic? Tony shares his fascinating recollections in a new book, The Making of “Some Like It Hot”: My Memories of Marilyn Monroe and the Classic American Movie, which is available now for pre-order at Amazon.com. Previews of the book promise “a behind-the-scenes saga of intrigue, humor and romance.” 

Don’t miss hearing Tony Curtis, a noted raconteur, discuss his new book and his experience as one of the great Some Like It Hot stars! Film historian James Colt Harrison and Classic Movie Guide Founder Diana Saenger also plan to join in this celebration.
