Tony Curtis
The classically handsome movie star, Bernie Schwartz from the Bronx, brought his latest love interest, Jill Vandenberg, to an Emanuel Foundation fundraising dinner on Nov. 5, 1995, at the Pierre Hotel in New York. Named in memory of his father, Emanuel Schwartz, a tailor in Manhattan, the organization worked to restore the historic Doheny synagogue in Budapest (his father’s birthplace was in nearby Matszalka), erected a Holocaust memorial tree on the synagogue grounds and built the Raoul Wallenberg Park in the city. Jill, 25, says she’s a horseback riding instructor in San Diego, “not an actress and that’s why we get along.” They were married from 1998 till Tony’s death in 2010.
