American Prince: A Memoir

A pretty honest conversational book - names names - gives credit to those who helped him and bags those he didn't like. An interesting childhood which obviously had a huge impact on how he behaved in later life.

Pretty interesting, especially the anecdotes. He was gorgeous, but what a philanderer!

I liked the book. I think Curtis has many issues with women,stemming from the distane he has for his mother.After what he called Joan Collins I almost didn't finish the book;however, I did.What I don't understand is his propensity for having so many children?

Before I read Tony Curtis' autobiography, I hardly knew anything about him.After finishing the book, I know more about him than I ever cared to know. He's extremely open and honest and doesn't hold anything back. The most interesting chapters are those at the beginning where he discusses his childhood and the chapter on "Some Like It Hot". He's a wonderful actor, but what most people aren't aware of is his tattered childhood, which seemed to mold him into what he became.I started to feel sorry for him, but then he seemed determined to let the world know about his infidelities and relationships with numerous women. I could have done without a lot of the coarse language, but all in all it's a must-read for any Tony Curtis fan!   hide
