Tony Curtis, R. I. P.

Tony Curtis, the son of a Bronx tailor who went on to become a Hollywood icon with starring roles in such motion pictures as "Some Like It Hot" and "The Defiant Ones," passed away Wednesday night from cardiac arrest at his Henderson, Nevada home at age 85.

Mr. Curtis was married five times, the first to actress Janet Leigh (from 1951 until their divorce twelve years later).  Jamie Lee Curtis was Tony and Janet's daughter.
