Hollywood icon Tony Curtis has recently disclosed a surprising revelation, asserting that his romantic involvement with the renowned actress Marilyn Monroe led to her conceiving a child.
The extramarital affair between the two blossomed during the filming of ‘Some Like It Hot’ in 1958, as documented by the Daily Express.
Curtis exposes this extraordinary claim in his upcoming memoir titled ‘The Making Of Some Like It Hot,’ scheduled for release in the US this September.
In his book, Curtis candidly reflects on his intimate relationship with Monroe, expressing uncertainties about her emotional state during their encounters.
He portrays Monroe as a skilled performer capable of embodying various roles to cater to others’ expectations.
The now 84-year-old actor reminisces about an incident in October 1958 when Monroe allegedly disclosed her pregnancy amid a heated confrontation with her then-husband, Arthur Miller, who remained skeptical about the paternity of the unborn child.
According to Curtis, their romantic liaison was not a recent development, as it initially commenced in 1950 and was reignited in September 1958 while Curtis’ wife, Janet Leigh, was expecting their second daughter, Jamie.
Despite the tumultuous circumstances surrounding their affair, Curtis emphasizes the profound impact Monroe had on him, describing their time together as unforgettable and transformative.
