featured a long and complimentary article
on Tony Curtis and "Some Like It Hot" in their June
5th issue, the day after the show's boffo opening in the Theatre Under
The Stars at Houston's Hobby Center. Center.
The June 3, 2003 edition of Newsweek featured a Q&A column with
Tony Curtis on page 67. The piece announces that Tony is hitting the
road for the stage version of Some Like It Hot, more than 40 years after
he starred in the film version of the same title. In the lighthearted
piece the interviewer jokes with Tony about his female-dress costume
in the film version and inquires about his singing ability, since Tony
takes on the role of Osgood E. in the musical version.
The interviewer asks if Tony has given up on
Hollywood movies in his older years. Tony says he doesn't want to play
old men on the screen. The writer says, "But you're 76." Tony
answers, "Are you kidding, my dear? I can get away with murder.
I could still f--- around at being 50."
