Tony Curtis with a seamstress on the set of Some Like it Hot (1959). He admitted he was "so scared to be playing a woman" that he was "tightly wound" on the set, unlike his co-star Jack Lemmon, who embraced the drag aspects of the role. Curtis was never comfortable in the female costumes but playing the role of "Josephine" certainly paid off. The movie became a critical and financial success and is widely regarded as one of the most successful comedies in Hollywood history.
