DocWard Posted July 9, 2022 Author Share Posted July 9, 2022 When I read the obit, I couldn't get past this part without a smile: Quote Indeed, it was his Navy service that had greatly boosted his career. During the war, he had met a radio operator in the Marshall Islands named Bernie Schwartz who had told him, "I'm going to be a movie star." Storch, already a seasoned comic on the resort circuit, had tried to talk him out of it, warning him that the business could be tough. They met again after the war, and Schwartz, who by now had changed his name to Tony Curtis, remembered the funny guy from the islands. Storch went on to appear in eight of Curtis' movies, including "Captain Newman," "Who Was That Lady?" and "The Great Race." A tip of my hat to Mr. Curtis.

Pat Riot Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 He always seemed to me to be a likable guy. Rest In Peace, Mr. Storch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
