IN MY OWN WORDS: TONY CURTIS (Sea Power)

Philip Roth wrote in Portnoy's Complaint that "a Jewish man with parents alive is a 15-year-old boy, and will remain a 15-year-old boy until they die". Maybe 83-year-old Tony Curtis is still that 15-year-old Jewish boy. Except in his case, it is an emotionally troubled 15-year-old Jewish boy -- born Bernie Schwartz -- who was physically abused by his mentally unstable Hungarian immigrant mother Helen.(Interview) (Sunday Independent (Dublin, Republic of Ireland))
