Book 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.
Tony Curtis is a screen legend. In his sixty-year career he has
appeared in over one hundred films, including such classics as
Spartacus, The Defiant Ones and Some Like It Hot.
His numerous TV appearances include co-starring with Roger Moore in
The Persuaders. He lives in Las Vegas with his fifth wife, Jill.
Peter Golenbock has written six New York Times bestsellers
over a thirty-three-year career.
