These days it seems like there’s a hot new movie star being born in Hollywood every couple of months. But few have the staying power of the old-time Hollywood greats like Tony Curtis. His career spanned six decades and included more than 100 films along with numerous television appearances.

One of those most memorable films, of course, was Some Like It Hot, where Tony Curtis shared top billing with another magnificent film icon, Marilyn Monroe.

But did you know that in addition to acting and finding the time to marry five times, Tony Curtis also gathered an impressive art collection over his lifetime?

This September, the estate of Tony Curtis, including his art collection and various letters, items and personal effects collected during his film career, will be offered by Julien’s Auctions in Beverly Hills.

My favorite piece in the catalog? The Andy Warhol Some Like It Hot piece that was a gift from the artist to the actor and is expected to fetch $20-30k.

A wee bit out of my price range, yes, but it costs nothing to gaze at it up close at the Estate of Tony Curtis Exhibition beginning August 6. More info here.
