The Great Leslie

Tony Curtis has died.

He is famous for many screen roles, but to me (and most of my maternal cousins, I would guess) he is best known as The Great Leslie, whose hair is always combed and whose car is always clean.

I shall now watch The Great Race on streaming Netflix in his honor.

That's who he is to me too! I grew up on The Great Race.

"You cheated! Cheated! I hate you! I refuse to accept! I won't win any way but my way! You've ruined my reputation, do you hear? You I hate! You and your hair that's always combed, your suit that's always white, your car that's always clean! I refuse to accept! I challenge you to another race!"

Man, I should watch the Great Race today too. When I was little, I always remember that it was Peter's favorite movie at Grandma's... ahh memories. When did I grow up?

I'm watching it right now. It is SO much funnier now that I'm grown up.
