RIP, Tony Curtis

One of Hollywood's classic leading men, Tony Curtis died yesterday at 85. Recommended highlights of his career: cross-dressing opposite Marilyn Monroe in Some Like It Hot (required viewing, in my opinion), darkly scheming in Sweet Smell of Success ("Cat's in the bag, bag's in the river."), and self-parodying in The Great Race (available through Netflix Instant — watch it now!).
