Tony Curtis at his book signing - StyleFoul!

Based on the Vanity Fair excerpt of his new book, American Prince,Tony Curtis has no business wearing a white hat. He's definitely a gossipy old villain!
We could spend hours parsing this outfit: the shiny lapel jacket oddly paired with the v-neck cashmere sweater and his ubiquitous (and oddly crinkled) silk ascot -- oh, and the hat! -- but these sartorial transgressions are not the worst of Tony's StyleFoul.
They say that a gentleman never kisses and tells. Sure, sure, actors do all kinds of stuff on camera, but we like to maintain the illusion that it's all make believe. That's part of the magic.
We would have gladly gone to our graves never -- ever, EVER! -- knowing that old TC got a boner when he was kissing Marilyn during those scenes in Some Like It Hot. Not to mention all of the other TMI details he spilled in his book!
Now one of our favorite movies of all time is tainted by his lecherous old man over-sharing about the hot, sexy times he and Marilyn shared.
Hasn't Marilyn suffered enough, Tony? Stop talking about her! StyleFoul!

i think the writer should stop writing so smerky about others and look in the mirror to discover they are NOT all that to be talking so neg on others, especially on things that are not that important in making who that person is.
I feel so sad for writers who loves to knock down others on paper over non important issues. It is sad that such character flaws makes them feel so important, instead of bringing out the best in others. They have the opportunity to make possitive differences in the world, and instead spend it with noise high in air, instead of the things that make life worthwhile.
Tony obviously accomplished a great deal in life. And for elderly man, he was still kicking with fire, including that hat which I find was cute, and many others might too!!! He left the world with children that loved him, friends, and gave the world lots of memories for generations to come, which is more than the average person can accomplish in their lifetime.
