In my living room on the wall behind the sofa is a personally autographed photo of President John F. Kennedy. Right next to it is a personally autographed photo of Tony Curtis. I love them both equally! What a crush I had on this guy in the 50s when I was a young girl! Rest in peace. You were a tremendous talent. Artist, actor, writer. They don’t make them like you anymore.
