American movie icon Tony Curtis, star of Sweet Smell of Success, Some Like It Hot and dozens of other classics, died Wednesday night at his Henderson home. He was 85.

The cause, according to the Clark County coroner, was cardiac arrest. Curtis spent his last years happily married to a sixth wife, but the actor was dissatisfied with his legacy and, at times, bitter.

Two years ago, writer Steve Friess spent a couple of hours with Curtis and wrote about his impressions in a Las Vegas Weekly article.
