Critics Review

I enjoyed American Prince by Tony Curtis immensely. I have known Tony and counted him as a friend since the early 1960s, and even shared with him some of the adventures he records. A wonderful read and long may he continue. * Sir Peter Blake *
A rollercoaster of a book … It’s a romp through Hollywood’s golden age, when Curtis, with his thick, black hair and cerulean eyes, practically invented celebrity as we know it * The Sunday Times *
A perfect example of the traditional Hollywood rags-to-riches script with one of those all-star casts that you simply can’t assemble any more. Marlon Brando, Marilyn Monroe, Rock Hudson: the list of late greats seems endless … undeniably fascinating * Sunday Telegraph *
