Publisher Description
He has appeared in over a hundred films. Elvis copied his looks. The Beatles put him on the cover of Sgt. Pepper. Tony Curtis is without question a Hollywood legend and part of its Golden Age. In American Prince he tells the whole story, from his hard-knock childhood growing up in the Bronx to his wild days as a Hollywood playboy, his destructive drug addiction and his life now as an artist in his eighties. He talks frankly about the people he has known during his long and illustrious career, from the studio owners and directors to his famous friends, such as Jack Lemmon, Cary Grant and James Dean, and the women in his life, including Janet Leigh and Natalie Wood.
Forthright and enthralling, and sparing no detail and no ego, American Prince is the true record of a life lived to the full.
Customer Reviews
Fantastic & Completely Moving
I prefer to read autobiographies because then you can perceive everything from the actors point of view and you can feel the same feelings they felt during each experience they had gone through. I felt like I knew Tony Curtis through this book because he was very open with us readers and you could see beneath his tough exterior that he was actually also sweet and vulnerable. I love this book and can read it over and over. It also has valuable lessons and bits of advice that have been useful to me and it provides insight into the life of a celebrity behind all the glitz and glamour. I loved reading this and I love Tony Curtis. Have fun reading!
American Prince
From poor Jewish boy to Hollywood star this book had me hooked from the beginning I was surprised to learn of his upbringing and the difficult relationship with his father. One thing is for sure no woman on this planet could resist his enviable charm. Enjoy!
