Tony Curtis: Driven to Stardom (Webisode)

"Tony Curtis: Driven to Stardom" is a personal and intimate journey into the life of one of the most influential actors in Hollywood that never received the recognition he deserved. As we explore his incredible six-decade film career, we also shed light on his difficult childhood in the Bronx, his pop culture influence on idols such as Elvis Presely and James Dean, his courageous political stance to break the color barrier with Sidney Poitier in "The Defiant Ones" (which earned him an Oscar nomination), his brief love affair with blonde bombshell Marilyn Monroe, as well as his failed marriages to actresses Janet Leigh and Christine Kaufmann. Tony Curtis gives his most honest and intimate interview to date in a film that's not only a biographical account of the legendary actor, but also an exploration into the universal concept of fame and its impact on Hollywood actors. Exclusive footage and film extracts highlight this film along with exclusive interviews from family, friends and co-stars.
