   Tony Curtis was the son of Jewish immigrants from Hungary. He was born Bernard Schwartz in h**l's Kitchen, New York, on June 3, 1925. His Father Emanuel owned a tailor shop, while her mother Helen was a schizophrenic who often beat Curtis and his two brothers as the family lived in cramped quarters. When his parents were unable to provide for their children during the Great Depression, Curtis and one of his brothers were put in a state institution in 1933, and the actor often spoke of the rabid anti-Semitism he suffered when he returned to his old neighborhood with his younger brother Julius died at age 12 after being struck by a car. Curtis was well-known for his way with women, which resulted in six marriages and liaisons with such Hollywood icons as Monroe and Natalie Wood. Health problems were no stranger to Mr. Curtis and in July 2010, he had to go to the hospital while he was doing a book signing.
