DAILY DOZEN: TONY CURTIS

Yesterday a Hollywood legend, Tony Curtis, passed away in his home in Nevada. He was 85.

Sadly, a generation or two has passed since Curtis made his last memorable movie. If you've never seen a Tony Curtis movie, you'll get you chance on October 10 when Turner Classic Movies airs a marathon of his movies (see story below). In case you didn't know it, actress Jamie Lee Curtis is his daughter.

Rest in peace, Tony.
