Book Reviews of American Prince: A Memoir
Book Review: "Yonda lies the castle of my fodda."
Summary: 4 Stars
I liked Tony Curtis in his heyday, but his memoir makes him look like a perpetually horny little boy with the biggest ego in Hollywood.
He talks about all of his movies but he seems proudest of his trysts with his leading ladies; apparently there were few starlets who could resist his charms. I gave up counting how many affairs he had; they must have numbered in the hundreds.
When his career took a nosedive, he blamed his six wives, his drug addiction, and anti-Semitism. His hubris concerning his desirability is matched only by his inflated opinion of his acting abilities. That said, this book certainly is a page-turner.
