Tony Curtis is famous for his roles in films such as "Sweet Smell of Success", "Some Like It Hot" and "The Boston Strangler". He is also renown for saying that kissing Marilyn Monroe was "like kissing Hitler". In this autobiography, the reader can follow his fortunes from life in a New York street gang in the 1930s to the bath scene with Olivier in "Spartacus", from marriage to Janet Leigh, to his descent into alcohol and cocaine addiction in the 1970s. It contains many previously unpublished film stills, production shots and personal snaps.

No other twentieth-century film artist so captivated the world, or spent so much energy trying to hide from it. Here is the unknown Garbo, from her troubled childhood in a working-class suburb of Stockholm, to Hollywood where she reigned as the divine star, to her unintentional retirement at thirty-six, self-exiled for the last half-century of her life.  We see Garbo against the backgrounds of Europe, Hollywood, and New York. We see her serious, playful, passionate, funny, curious, within her circle of intimates. Paris's biography supplants the legend of Garbo the enigma with a revelation of the real woman, whose grip on our imagination remains as powerful today as it was almost seventy years ago when she dazzled the world in Flesh and the Devil.
