About This Item
New York : Morrow, 1993. First Edition. Hardback. An exceptional copy; fine in an equally fine dw. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new.; 352 pages; Description: 352 p. : ill. ; 25 cm. Includes index. Filmography: p. 326-342. Subjects: Curtis, Tony (1925-) --Motion picture actors and actresses --United States --Biography. Summary: Tony Curtis: The Autobiography pulls no punches: Curtis debunks myths of stardom and glamour with a raw, uncensored, street-honed New York bite. The scope of his memoirs includes: rooming with Marlon Brando in Hollywood in the late forties; a glamorous marraige to Janet Leigh in 1951, and the extraordianry days during his first flush of success...a fully detailed description of his descent into alcohol and cocaine addiction in the 1970s and 1980s; and his therapeutic, ongoing work as a visual artist, drawing his inspiration from Matisse and Joseph Cornell. Controversial, flip, shot through with a charming defiance and an off-the-wall sense of humour, Tony Curtis: The Autobiography must be read by anyone in love with American movies and the truth behind the icons.
