(ANI):
The
widow
of
silver
screen
legend
Tony
Curtis,
Jill,
has
opened
up
about
her
husband"s
death.
The
actor,
who
famously
starred
in
iconic
films
such
as
'Some
Like
it
Hot" and
'Spartacus,"
surrendered
himself
to
almighty
after
suffering
cardiac
arrest
at
the
age
of
85.
"He
had
COPD
and
very
bad
lung
problems
from
smoking.
About
30
years
ago
he
quit.
But
his
lungs
never
worked
the
way
they
should
of.
So
he
was
always
fighting
that," the
New
York
Daily
News
quoted
Jill
as
telling
Inside
edition.
Tony,
who
is
a
father
of
'Halloween"
star
Jamie
Lee
Curtis,
had
five
other
children
over
the
course
of
six
marriages.
In
1998,
Jill
became
the
actor's
sixth
wife.
The
family
had
decided
to
bring
him
home
from
the
hospital
before
he
passed
away.
"He
died
peacefully
surrounded
by
those
who
loved
him…in
his
bedroom
where
he
loved
to
be.
I''m
very
happy
we
made
the
decision
to
bring
him
home
from
the
hospital.
He
passed
in
his
sleep,"
the
widow
of
Tony
added.
"One
thing
Tony
always
said:
'God
is
great.
He
won't
hurt
us,
'cause
he
looks
like
Tony
Curtis".
I
guess
now
he
knows
how
he
looks,"
she
said.
