Tony Curtis And Marilyn Monroe

The rift between Tony Curtis and Marilyn Monroe began when they worked together for the 1959 movie, Some Like it Hot. It started with their locking lips scene, which Tony described as similar to kissing Hitler. He then explained his comment was only sarcasm as he got tired of answering the same question repeatedly. The comment made Marilyn upset and created some hard feelings toward Tony, but it looked like there was a deeper reason for their feud.

Tony claimed he had a romance with Marilyn when they were doing the movie. They were both married at the time to their respective spouses. He then said that their affair resulted in Marilyn’s pregnancy. Unfortunately, she had a miscarriage. The spat between them could have escalated with lawyers from each camp striking their version of the story. Luckily, that was not the case. Accordingly, Tony was advised to stay away from Marilyn and her then-husband, Arthur Miller.
