Report: Hollywood legend Tony Curtis dies at 85
<snip>

"Oscar-nominated actor Tony Curtis has died at age 85, Entertainment Tonight reported Thursday.

Entertainment Tonight said a representative for the actor's daughter, Jamie Lee Curtis, confirmed the death but did not provide further details.

Curtis appeared in Billy Wilder's "Some Like It Hot" with Marilyn Monroe and Jack Lemmon, and received an Oscar nomination in 1959 for "The Defiant Ones," in which he starred with Sidney Poitier."

1. Lovely fella
Bumped into him in a bar in Las Vegas back in 2000 whilst out celebrating friends getting married. He posed for pics with them. Really friendly guy.

5. RIP Tony. The movie "Some Like it Hot" was one
of the best movies ever made. He was excellent in that movie.
