One of the most popular actors Hollywood has ever known. Tony Curtis takes delight in his second career, painting. What started as a way to channel creative energy left over at the end of a day’s shooting, has turned into a passion he pursues with the same vigor that launched him as an actor.

After acting in more then 150 movies, he feels fortunate to have found something he loves to do just as much. Yesterday’s dreamboat has been sketching and painting for almost five decades. The glamor of the movies has impacted his visual sensibilities - his paintings, too, are larger-than-life. His work is bold and explosive, with powerful colors and pulsing rhythms.

Tony Curtis has received serious attention for his art and one of his paintings has been accepted in to the permanent collection of the new Film and Media Wing of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
