Tony Curtis film career declined considerably after 1960. His most significant dramatic part came in 1968 when he starred in the true-life drama "The Boston Strangler", which some consider his last major film role. The part reinforced his reputation as a serious actor with his chilling portrayal of serial killer Albert DeSalvo. He later starred alongside Roger Moore in the ITC TV series "The Persuaders!", with Curtis playing American millionaire Danny Wilde. The series ran twenty-four episodes. Curtis is the father of actresses Jamie Lee Curtis and Kelly Curtis by his first wife, actress Janet Leigh. Tony Curtis was born Bernard Schwartz

To determine conclusively that it was DeSalvo's DNA, a court ordered the exhumation of his body in order to test his DNA directly. On July 19, 2013 Suffolk County DA Daniel F. Conley, Mass. Attorney General Martha Coakley, and Boston Police Commissioner Edward F. Davis announced the DNA test results proving that Albert Henry DeSalvo was the source of seminal fluid recovered at the scene of Sullivan's 1964 murder. Boston Strangler
