The Marilyn affair: Tony Curtis tells all

IANS

London: Legendary actor Tony Curtis claims in a new book that he had an affair with Marilyn Monroe and that she even became pregnant with his child.

Curtis claims the child was conceived while both - he and Monroe - were married to other people. But she had a miscarriage shortly after her husband, playwright Arthur Miller, found out, dailymail.co.uk reports.

Curtis is now 84 and has written about his on-and-off affair in his book The Making of Some Like it Hot.

"When I was in bed with Marilyn, I was never sure - before, during or after - where her mind was. She was an actress. She could play a part. She could give the part what she thought a man wanted. I never asked for more."

Recalling the moment when he and Monroe confessed the affair to Miller, Curtis wrote, "I was stunned. I just stood there. The room was so silent that I could hear tyres screeching on Santa Monica Boulevard."
