Perhaps, now, Tony’s distinguished film career will be put into proper perspective–and finally garner the credit and appreciation it, long ago, deserved.

I don’t even know that he was that great of an actor, and it doesn’t matter really. He was the guy you wanted to be – a cocktail in one hand, Janet Leigh on the other, life could be swell.

A few years ago, when the film “Spartacus” was restored, a scene was returned to the film in which Sir Lawrence Olivier and Tony Curtis are taking a bath together. The original soundtrack to that section of film was lost; Curtis re-recorded his dialogue for the restoration. Since Lawrence Olivier was unavailable (since he was DEAD), his lines were recorded by Anthony Hopkins – in Hopkins’ best Olivier vocal impression.
