Tony Curtis, a renowned actor, has made shocking claims that iconic actress Marilyn Monroe suffered a miscarriage after becoming pregnant with his child, despite being married to other partners at the time.
In a surprising revelation from his latest memoir, The Making of Some Like It Hot, Curtis detailed an affair with Monroe that began in 1950 and was reignited in 1958.
The alleged pregnancy occurred during their tumultuous relationship while they were both still married to other individuals.
Curtis, now 84 years old, reflected on the complex nature of his connection with Monroe, stating that he could never discern her true feelings during their intimate moments.
He described Monroe as a skilled actress who could portray any role convincingly, tailoring herself to suit her partner’s desires.
Their relationship reportedly reached its peak during the filming of Some Like It Hot in 1958, while Curtis was already wed to actress Janet Leigh and Monroe to playwright Arthur Miller.
It was during this time that Monroe disclosed her pregnancy to Curtis, causing a rift in their clandestine affair.
The intense confrontation unfolded when Miller, Monroe’s husband, discovered the truth about her liaison with Curtis.
The tension in the room was palpable as the news of the pregnancy reverberated, leading to a devastating miscarriage for Monroe shortly thereafter.
Despite the heart-wrenching turn of events, Curtis recounted Miller’s stoic response upon learning of the pregnancy, advising Curtis to focus on completing the film and to stay away from their personal lives.
Following Monroe’s tragic miscarriage, their affair came to an abrupt end, coinciding with the conclusion of their professional collaboration.
Curtis retreated from the tumultuous situation, leaving behind a trail of emotional turmoil and unanswered questions.
Throughout his career, Curtis has been candid about his relationship with Monroe, shedding light on their off-screen escapades and weekend retreats to actor Howard Duff’s beach house in Malibu, California.
His accounts have provided a glimpse into the turbulent romance that unfolded between two Hollywood legends.
In a previous autobiography and subsequent memoirs, Curtis likened kissing Monroe to a controversial figure, drawing criticism for his remarks.
Despite the backlash, Curtis has continued to share his encounters with Monroe, offering a rare insight into their complex bond.
As the details of this tumultuous affair come to light through Curtis’s memoir, The Making of Some Like It Hot, readers are granted a deeper understanding of the intricate dynamics that shaped the lives of these legendary stars.
While the book is set for release in the U.S., there are no immediate plans for its publication in the UK, leaving audiences eager to uncover more secrets from Hollywood’s golden era.
