Tony Curtis Reveals: The Untold Story of His Relationship with Marilyn Monroe

During the filming of Some Like It Hot in 1958, Tony Curtis famously compared kissing co-star Marilyn Monroe to kissing Hitler.

However, in his upcoming memoir, The Making of Some Like It Hot, set to be released in September in the US, Curtis discloses that he and Monroe were romantically involved during that time, leading to Monroe becoming pregnant, only to tragically suffer a miscarriage.

Despite both being married – Curtis to Janet Leigh and Monroe to playwright Arthur Miller – the two reignited their relationship from a brief encounter in 1949 while working together on the film.

Curtis, now 84, reminisces about the profound connection he shared with Monroe, describing it as an unforgettable experience.

The revelation of Monroe's pregnancy occurred when they decided to come clean about their affair to Miller.

Curtis recounts the moment of shock and silence that enveloped the room upon Monroe's disclosure.

He vividly remembers the eerie stillness, likening it to the sound of tires screeching on Santa Monica Boulevard.

Following this revelation, Curtis was urged to complete the film and distance himself from the couple, only learning of Monroe's heartbreaking miscarriage after the movie had wrapped.

His marriage to Janet Leigh, with whom he shared two daughters, concluded in 1962, marking the end of his third marriage.

Currently in his fourth marriage, Curtis candidly shared in a 2002 interview with Attitude magazine about his vibrant social life upon arriving in Hollywood in 1948, humorously stating, “I had more action than Mount Vesuvius; men, women, animals!”

Reflecting on the infamous “kissing Hitler” comment during an interview at BFI Southbank last year, Curtis shed light on its origin.

He clarified that the remark was a response to an inappropriate question about kissing Monroe, emphasizing his displeasure at such queries.

Curtis revealed, “Someone said to me, ‘Hey, what's it like kissing Marilyn?'

I said, ‘It's like kissing Hitler.
