I have been a fan of Tony Curtis since I was a kid.I believed studio publicity that said he is 5foot10 and a half inches.I had to wait until I was in my 60s to learn that he is the same height as myself 5-8.

Saw a quote by actress Danica D'Hondt "I'm five foot nine inches and towered over Tony Curtis"

he's a versatile actor and good lookin' too. hoping that someday he'll be back in the big screen. a cameo role will be fine.

There's an image of him with his wife. They stand on a staircase with Tony standing one or two stairs above his wife and they're the same height with this technique. His wife is wearing heels on the picture.

I met Tony in the late '80s and stood talking with him for about 20 minutes. I am 6' even and he was shorter than me by at least a couple of inches, but I don't recall him being what I would call short. He was a very nice guy and very personable to talk to. He was with a very beautiful (and much younger) blonde girl. He was great in Operation Petticoat and a WWII submariner in real life.

He appeared recently on the Jonathan Ross show. In a wheelchair for part of the time he was able to walk on and off the set with assistance. Said his walking was imporoving all the time.

It seems Curtis suffered a debilitating stroke last year and lost the use of his legs.

Poor Tony is now confined to a wheelchair and as you can see from this photo, he no longer wears that awful white carpet on his head:

At best his peak height was around 5'9". He was about an inch shorter than 5'10" Jerry Lewis in BOEING BOEING.

I saw he and his wife on Oscar night, and she is an Amazon! With heels, she must have been 6-3! Tony is about 5-7.

Somebody remembers the Persuaders! I used to love that show as a kid, I don't know why...

Brad says on 31/Jul/08
He wore huge custom shoes on The Persuaders. I met him last year but he was in a wheel chair.

Why do you call him the old Crooner Rob? Tony was never a singer.

What´s happening, boys´n´girls.....? I see very few opinions ´bout such a Great Actor as Tony Curtis. I confess I was surprised at 5´8". I used to watch "The Persuaders", and really thought he was about 5´10". There was an episode where an actress describes Danny Wilde as an "atractive 6 ft. man".....

Maria says on 21/Nov/06
I used to work for Tony. I'd say 5'7 or 5'8 is about right. He's of medium height.

I met Tony and his wife, Jill Vandenberg at the Hotel Del, Coronado Beach.
I am 5'11" and standing right next to them I was looking
down at Tony and up at Jill. Tony was wearing regular loafers and
I would estimate him to be 5'7 or 5'8' max. Jill was wearing
super sized heels, so without the heels I would still put her
between 5'11 & 6'. A very tall lady.

Azarea says on 27/Apr/06
how tall do u think his wife is rob?

[Editor Rob: her height looks to vary...I wonder if curtis in his old age occasionally dons the lifts, 5ft 9-10 she can look]

TJ says on 10/Jul/05
In his autobiography, he says that he is 5'9. He had a few inches on Marilyn in Some Like it Hot and she was 5'5. Perhaps he has lost an inch with age though.
