Front Row - 20/10/2008

Presented by Mark Lawson. Hollywood veteran Tony Curtis talks about his journey from being Bernie Schwartz from the Bronx to the Hollywood star of Some Like It Hot and Spartacus, and what it was like dating Marilyn Monroe and being friends with Frank Sinatra. In his autobiography, American Prince, Tony Curtis discusses his work with Monroe, Kubrick and Sinatra but also relates bleak experiences about growing up during the Great Depression when his family was so poor that he and his brother were placed in a state orphanage.
