Judging from the photos, it could be Larry Hagman's stunt double as well... Yehaaa!

No, actually it's Tony Curtis and his wife doing something great and caring by devoting their time and lives to the resue of slaughterbound horses.
What wrong, Germans don't care about such things?

Don't know about other Germans, but personally I do care about such things and I appreciate
what Mr. Curtis is doing. I was only puzzled, because I'd never seen him wearing a Stetson
before. And I was shocked to see how old he looks.

Well the guy is in his eighties for Christ sake. Hopefully he still enjoys indulging in marijuana.

Who says you can't be eighty and have great skin?
Some people are eighty and their eyes are nearly next to their ears!

Yeah, seri! And some women are sporting a goatee...
I was always a fan of Mr. Curtis and I surely regret that he had such a short and fruitless
carreer in Hollywood. Boeing Boeing, Operation Petticoat and Sweet Smell Of Success proved
what a bandwidth of talent he had to offer.

I don't believe I have watched these David but also worth mentioning is ''Some Like It Hot" and "The Boston Strangler''.
Any comments on these?
PS
BTW I don't see Tony Curtis anywhere...

Short and fruitless career?
The guy is in several of the best American films made and a million others to boot including the Italian cinema.
He went uncredited on many films in his early career as well.
People underestimate the courage it took to put together a film such as "Sweet Smell Of Success" back in the 1950's. A film dealing with vile corruption.
Tony Curtis was and remains one of the best.

@ seri: Although I like SLIH very much, the Tony Curtis character is too selfish and egoistic for
me. A nice anecdote from the filming is, that TC had serious problems, disguising himself as a
woman. While Jack Lemmon had sheer fun doing this. I think this can be seen very clearly
when you watch the movie.
@ knives: Sure, he was one of Hollywood's most gifted actors at that time. But you can't deny,
that at the beginning of the 70s, his career was at a dead end and it was not for pleasure or
artistic conviction, that he went to Europe to appear in TV productions like The Persuaders.
