As many of you have likely heard, actor Tony Curtis passed away in his home last week at the age of 85, due to cardiac arrest. Curtis was best known for his lead roles in movies such as Some Like it Hot and The Defiant Ones.
The late actor was put to rest Monday, the funeral being attended by family and friends. It’s reported that Curtis was buried with some of his most cherished possessions, including a Stetson hat, an Armani scarf, driving gloves, a copy of his favorite novel … and his iPhone.
I’m not really sure what’s more surprising about Curtis being entombed with his iPhone: that he’s buried with it for eternity, or that an 85-year-old man was so enamored with an iPhone that he (or others) felt it should remain with him.
Unfortunately, it’s only a matter of time before the jokes of Curtis calling from the grave are in full force.
