Tony Curtis photo

Tony Curtis

Cast · Known for Sex and the Single Girl

Tony Curtis (June 3, 1925 – September 29, 2010) was an American film actor whose career spanned six decades, but had his greatest popularity during the 1950s and early 1960s. He acted in over 100 films in roles covering a wide range of genres, from light comedy to serious drama. In his later years, Curtis made numerous television appearances. Although his early film roles were partly the result of his good looks, by the later half of the 1950's he became a notable and strong screen presence. He began proving himself to be a “fine dramatic actor,” having the range to act in numerous dramatic and comedy roles. In his earliest parts he acted in a string of "mediocre" films, including swashbucklers, westerns, light comedies, sports films, and a musical. However, by the time he starred in Houdini (1953) with his wife Janet Leigh, "his first clear success," notes critic David Thomson, his acting had progressed immensely. He won his first serious recognition as a skilled dramatic actor in Sweet Smell of Success (1957) with co-star Burt Lancaster. The following year he was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor in another drama, The Defiant Ones (1958). Curtis then gave what many believe was his best acting, in a completely different role, the comedy Some Like It Hot (1959). Thomson calls it an "outrageous film," and it was voted the number 1 funniest film in history from a survey done by the American Film Institute. It costarred Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe, and was directed by Billy Wilder. That was followed by Blake Edwards’ comedy Operation Petticoat (1959) with Cary Grant. They were both “frantic comedies,” and displayed "his impeccable comic timing." He often collaborated with Edwards on later films. His most significant serious part came in 1968 when he starred in the true-life drama The Boston Strangler, which some consider his "last major film role." The part reinforced his reputation as a serious actor with his "chilling portrayal" of serial killer Albert DeSalvo. He gained 30 pounds and had his face "rebuilt" with a false nose to look like the real DeSalvo. Curtis was the father of actresses Jamie Lee Curtis and Kelly Curtis by his first wife, actress Janet Leigh.

Pierre Edelman

Executive Producer · Known for Mulholland Drive

Pierre Edelman (born in 1944) is a French film producer and former actor. In the 1970s, Pierre Edelman worked in a workshop in the Sentier district of Paris, specializing in denim. He became a collaborator of Colette and Jacques Nivelle, specialists in stonewashed jeans. In the mid-1980s, he worked as an assistant to photographer Jean-Marie Périer in Los Angeles on the production of advertising films. He then became a journalist and later a producer at Ciby 2000, the company founded in 1990 by Francis Bouygues, and later at StudioCanal in the 2000s. It was through him that David Lynch, frustrated with the American production system that restricted his creative freedom, was able to make films in France—first with Ciby 2000 and later with StudioCanal, thanks to Edelman introducing him to Alain Sarde. Edelman produced Lynch’s work throughout the 1990s and into the 2000s, from Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992) and Lost Highway (1997) to Mulholland Drive (2001). The latter film came to fruition and became a cornerstone of the director’s filmography thanks to Edelman’s intervention. At StudioCanal at the time, he proposed to Lynch that he turn his failed ABC pilot into a feature film. Mulholland Drive would soon be ranked among the best films of the early 21st century. With Ciby 2000 and later StudioCanal, Edelman also produced films by Pedro Almodóvar, including High Heels (1991), The Flower of My Secret (1995), and All About My Mother (1999), as well as Underground by Emir Kusturica, which won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 1995. At an informal party on a Cannes beach after the Palme d’Or ceremony, Pierre Edelman defended Carole Bouquet when a fight broke out. Kusturica said of him: "I owe a lot to men like Pierre Edelman who put everything on the line so I could make Underground, especially since after the Arizona Dream scandal, I was blacklisted by the insurance companies." He dated Béatrice de Cambronne in the 1960s, was in a relationship with Bernadette Lafont in the early 1970s, Helena Kallianiotes at the end of the same decade, and later Victoria Abril, with whom he had two children in the 1990s. In the spring of 2023, he disappeared from public view. In March of that year, his disappearance was reported to the police in Paris’s 8th arrondissement by long-time friend, journalist, and essayist Guillaume Durand. During an investigation, the newspaper Le Monde tracked him down in May 2025 at a Paris nursing home, where he now resides after suffering a stroke.

Peter Wang

Wang Zhengfang was born in 1938 and spent his childhood in Beijing. His father, linguist Wang Shoukang, was a professor in the Department of Chinese Literature of Beijing Normal University at that time, and he was also the vice president of the "Mandarin Tabloid" founded by the Ministry of Education. In 1948, the Nationalist government decided to establish the "Mandarin Daily" in Taipei, and hired Wang Shoukang as the vice president. Therefore, in the spring of 1948, Wang Zhengfang moved to Taiwan with his family. He was admitted to study National Taiwan University's Department of Electrical Engineering. At that time, there was a prejudice in Taiwanese society that "good boys should not study liberal arts". He went to continue his studies in the United States, and was at one time blacklisted from both sides of the Taiwan strait at the same time. In the 1980s, Wang Zhengfang, who was over his age, felt that there was a "calling voice" in his heart, evoking his hidden drama ability and talent. After all, being an engineer, the professor's life is comfortable and stable, and drama and film are unknown to him. However, after thinking about it for a while, he resigned from the university teaching position and plunged into the film circle.

She had just finished an interview with Howard Stern in the spring of 1999 when she and her fiancé, Robert Menchaca, were headed back to California. She hoped the interview would revive her stalled career.
