Remarkable Rebounder
After divorcing Janet Leigh, Curtis wasted no time. The next year, he hooked up with Christine Kaufmann. She was only 17, but he was 38 years old! It seemed he wanted to get away from Leigh, though she would have a bad effect on his career.
Ruining His Reputation
The public stopped liking Curtis once he and Leigh divorced, and his marrying a teen didn’t help things. He had become Hollywood’s sweetheart, but now he looked sleazy and creepy with a young wife.
