SOME LIKE IT HOT - CURTIS PLANS ACTING COMEBACK AFTER FACING DEATH

CURTIS PLANS ACTING COMEBACK AFTER FACING DEATH

Beloved SOME LIKE IT HOT star TONY CURTIS is reviving his acting career after fighting death in December (06). The 81-year-old spent three days clinging to life in hospital after developing pneumonia just before Christmas, but the prayers and support of his family helped him pull through. And now Curtis is returning to the big screen - as an elderly hospital patient who dishes up wise words to a struggling young friend in David + Fatima. The aged actor admits it took him weeks to recover from his health crisis and now he insists he's destined to die on a movie set, not in a hospital. He explains, "I still love acting. I'll die working. But hopefully it won't be anytime soon."
