Many years ago I flew to Hawaii with my parents, stopping in LA. Tony Curtis came on the plane in LA and sat next to my Dad for the flight to Hawaii. They had a lot to speak about as my grandparents immigrated from what is now Slovakia (previously Czechoslovakia) and his mother from a part of Hungry that is now Slovakia. I have a picture of me sitting with him.
Today is May 11th 2023.. the last time I visited Henderson there were so many homeless people it was sad... In June of this year we three years since my niece who was from Las Vegas committed suicide in my house in Mississippi... I have sent sold the house and moved North California and trying to make a life here.. in plumas county...
I know that cemetery well. My mom, dad and brother are buried there. You drove right past their places of rest at about the 14 minute mark, although they are back a ways from the road. I must have walked past Tony's grave a hundred times and never knew he was there, I just remember seeing that Shiloh bench. Thanks for sharing another interesting adventure/story with us Jordan! Keep up the great work!
He was one good looking guy in his younger years that's for sure. I wonder why Tony cut his children out of his will and what did his will say, do you know? Maybe he left it to care for neglected and abused Horses. Thank you, Jordan, and Jah another great vlog and very informative! 😊 A special Thanks to Todd, he is awesome! Just a wealth of information. I think he enjoys talking about the other Star's he grew up around. 😊
Jordan your knocking the vlogs out of the park . i thought it was cool hearing Todd Fischer talking about different stories on Tony Curtis .Thank you Jordan and Jah for a great adventure . i like the random adventures you take all of us on
Tony and I shared a birthday (6-3) He has such dreamy eyes. I hope he rests in peace. Thank you Jordan for telling his story and showing us where he is buried. You and Jah stay safe.
Jordan, these blogs are just amazing. You have such a knack of getting stories out of people. Please tell Mr. Fisher I really enjoyed that story today. Thank you both bringing these hidden Hollywood histories to us. ❤❤❤❤❤
That story about Tony being within binocular-view of the signing of the Japanese surrender - did you know that Prince Phillip was actually on board of the ship and witnessed the signing of that surrender? I believe that Prince Phillip eventually met Tony Curtis during a royal command performance when the film “Houdini” debuted in 1963. Crazy serendipity, right?
Always loved "Stoney" Curtis. He is in good company with actors who never won an Oscar. Loved Todd's stories-he's a wealth of information. Please feature Todd in another video! Thank you Jordan!!!!!😊☺️🥰❤️🌴🦩☀️☺️☺️☺️
Thanks for sharing this with us. When I was a young girl I had such a crush on Tony Curtis. Todd has great stories, I could listen to him all day long. Thanks again Jordan for such great videos.
I had just moved to vegas and went to Tony's funeral.. It was surreal.. Got a bit crunched when the doors of the chapel opened at the Palm Gardens.. I have some great pics and memories of this day.. He was and is a legend..
16:30 I always love when you go to Todd's house. I grew up watching Debbie Reynolds films. Tammy and the bachelor was my favorite. So many interesting cool behind the scenes stories that you uncover awesome dude. Thank you
Hi Jordan, I never knew that about his upbringing. How kind to do that for those poor horses aswell. I have a nice autograph of Tony and Jack from 'Some Like It Hot. Lovely seeing Todd again. Great vlog Jordan.
Todd Fisher is the best....could listen to him all day.....and being the son and brother of my two favorite people doesn't hurt either....RIP Debbie and Carrie!
Thank you Jordan, and thank you Todd for sharing some stories. I didn’t know Tony was buried there, I thought he would have been buried in Hollywood. I enjoyed all of Tony’s movies but my favourite was The Great Race. ❤️Jodie 🇦🇺
Tell Todd I had the pleasure of seeing his Mother in concert in Las Vegas and we got autographs after the show. She was so kind and sweet. Such a pleasure to have seen her! 💕
*I was friends with Todd's Mother. Debbie was such a character.* She loved Liberache, if I recall correctly, she called him Libby. Always with an endearing note in her voice. I also knew Tony in his latter years he never lost his spunk. Last time I saw him we were getting our cars serviced at the Cadillac dealership on Sahara Avenue, in Las Vegas. I was married to an entertainer for 12 years, he was managed by Sinatra's people and through his work I met many folks un the industry. Many memories. Todd looks great, I send him most positve thoughts. Met him at Debbie's Casino, on Casino Center Drive. Fun times!
An unforgettable Tony Curtis movie - a real gem - was "Captain Newman, M.D." (1963) with Gregory Peck, Eddie Albert, Bobby Darin & Angie Dickinson. It's set in 1944 with Gregory Peck playing a psychiatrist in charge of a neuropsychiatric unit at an Army Air Corps hospital in Arizona. This is a movie filled with pathos and laugh-out-loud comedy (much of the latter supplied by Tony Curtis). Bobbie Darin was a superb actor who left us too soon.
What a handsome and talented man Tony Curtis was in his time. Dispite the ups n downs in his life he lived it to the fullest . Thanks Todd for sharing another great story about your mother Debbie's life.
My favorite Tony Curtis story: Tony and Walter Matthau were friends when they were two struggling actors in New York. Tony went to Hollywood and became a star while Matthau was still in New York chasing acting jobs. One day, Tony was in a limo driving through Manhattan when he spotted Matthau walking down the street. He rolled down his window as he drove by and yelled "HEY WALTER, I FU**KED YVONNE DECARLO!"
Todd Fisher is a wonderful storyteller, writer, and filmmaker. He drove a real tank around in his backyard that Harry gave him. Please let Todd know how very impressed I am with his collecting cataloging and loving so much, his girls. Write another book, please. What a fabulous mother and sister and brother.
Jordan, this was very good, your hard work is truly appreciated by many. an old urban legend started by Debbie Reynolds that Tony in the movie The son of Ali Baba, he said " Yonder lies the land of my Faddah". Tony actually never said that, he spoke his lines quite well. Thought I'd put that to death for those that read my post. Being 80 I remember Eddie Fisher and the Coca Cola hour on early TV , I was a huge fan. Unfortunately the way he dumped so sweet a girl as Debbie and married Elizabeth Taylor I was among those who turned on him. Over the years I got over that and I have his last hit recording "Games That Lovers Play" in my 1961 Seeburg Jukebox.😛😛😛
I had a friend who worked for an oxygen tank company in vegas and one of his patients on his route was tony curtis . He said tony was a kind & gracious guy & his place was full of marilyn monroe memorabilia too .
I think it would have been interesting to show the house Tony Curtis lived in Henderson. I saw someone bought it for really low after he passed away. It even had an art studio casita.
Jordan, I hope you read my complete post and understood I was talking about two men--Tony Curtis and Eddie Fisher---I don't know how Kingfamilyfavorites could have posted so erroneous a correction directed at me. I straightened him/her out, hope you don't mind.😆😆😆😆
Love when you visit Todd. He is being attacked and it is SO unfair, he was there with Carrie and Debbie his entire life. To reduce him to some greedy guy who just wants his inheritance because he's "broke" is so disrespectful.
Enjoyed your moments with Todd. Too bad Tony Curtis wrote off his kids from the Will. His daughter Jamie Lee is a true gem of a daughter. I met her briefly in a doctor’s office in Burbank, Ca. Nice seeing Jah again. Happy travels Jordan and as always , great vlog ❤️🙏🏻👍🐕🦺🌴
Have you ever interviewed Todd before, and did he show you what's left of his mom's memorabilia collection? At a time when there was very little interest in movie memorabilia, Debbie had a genuine sense of the cultural value of the costumes, props etc she purchased. It's a real tragedy that she put so much money and effort into collecting so many items, only to end up selling them.
Debbie Renolds had so much memorablia, it's nice to see his son managing her things. Jamie Lee Curtis thanked her parents at the Academy Awards, which was nice.
I'm pretty sure the photo shown with Debbie Reynolds is from "Goodbye Charlie." Also he had a small part in the Universal Studios film "Francis" starring Donald O'Connor, where he was billed as Anthony Curtis.
Tony Curtis was married a total of 6 times .. He was such a great actor as was his former wife Janet Leigh and his children... Really enjoyed your video keep up the wonderful work!
I liked the grittiness of the rat Race and was impressed with both Tony's and Debbie's performances. This wasn't a typical Technicolor glamour movie from the 50's.
Yes, I liked: good by Charlie, and it's still free on RU-vid go figure...Yes, Tony Curtis, was in some really great films with great Actors, miss them all these days... it will be my turn to cross over soon enough.
I am now 59 years old in the grandmother but I remember when I was a teenager at Panama Red was a big thing of the time because my boyfriend at the time who is now passed away and is the father of my oldest son actually pointed out the red hairs in the Panama Red pot that him his friends used to smoke I was never a pothead never have been a pothead but and say a pothead loosely, but I remember everybody that time being enthralled with the idea that this green weed had red hair and it and it would try to explain it to me and I would just say I don't get it but I do remember being a fifteen-year-old maybe I was actually 14 of the time and then talking about it and it's saying how good it was that was about the time sinsemilia came out and everybody liked it because it didn't have no seeds and I just remember when they whatever they would smoke the sensimillia that I would have a severe allergic reaction but before that I think came the Panama Red and I just remember how then talking about how great it was and also I do remember there was something about Columbian gold minut I would just smell it because they would smoke it and I couldn't stand any of it I still can't stand the smell of it to this day and can smell it half a mile away but at any rate I just remember being a big part of my teenage years because everybody around me smoked it except me I still to this day cannot stand the smell of weed and my two oldest boys when is 44 when it's 35 and they do still smoke a little bit here and there but not like they did when they were younger however I still cannot stand the smell of pot😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤ thank you for the memories this has invoked 😂😂❤❤❤🎉
I used to like Tony Curtis until I heard how terribly he treated his children - including disinheriting them all in his will. How you treat your children shows the real person and Tony was sadly lacking.
There was a lot that was never let out to the public. Yes he made some mistakes in his life but judge not, I’m sure you have skeletons too. His kids were no angels either.
Thank you Jordan and Todd who (once more) was generous enough to share his memories and knowledge with us. This was a beautiful tribute to a great star.
Watched this one which was good. Recently discovered Jordan - really enjoy the videos so far. Am starting to watch the oldest ones 1st. Thans for making them!
Love the vlogs with Todd Fisher, love hearing the true versions Hollywood Stars by their own family members, not watered down and they're truthful vs tv shows, or mags! I could listen to him talk for hours about his Mom, his sister, anything about Hollywood-very fascinating Another stellar vlog!! Ty for taking us along for the visit!!
