The Jill & Tony Curtis Story

A Story About Love and Commitment

Includes Footage Never Before Captured on Camera
Saddling Up on DVD in Stores Everywhere, March 10th

For Immediate Release — March 1, 2009 — Fulfillment comes from something much more than fame or fortune in The Jill & Tony Curtis Story, on DVD March 10 from SKD USA (Distributed by KOCH Entertainment).

An award-winning equestrian, Jill Vandenberg Curtis grew up loving horses. Upon discovering that over 100,000 horses a year – many of them in the best health – are being slaughtered for human consumption overseas, she broke down in tears. When she and her husband, legendary actor Tony Curtis (Some Like it Hot, Sweet Smell of Success, The Defiant Ones), left Hollywood behind for quieter life in the Nevada desert, Jill sought a fulfilling passion that would make a difference.

That cause is to halt the senseless slaughter of thousands of American horses for human consumption overseas. With a clear mission, the Shiloh Horse Rescue and Sanctuary was born (“Shiloh” means “a place of peace” in Hebrew).

Join Jill and Tony on this inspiring journey and a tour of Shiloh. Meet some of their special friends – two and four legged – as they celebrate their 400th rescue. And travel to the nation’s capital where, along with fellow advocate Bo Derek, Jill and Tony persuade representatives and senators to vote for legislation to end this atrocity. Learn what really happens at a slaughter auction in Utah, never before filmed since cameras are forbidden.

The Jill & Tony Curtis Story, directed by Ian Ayres, takes an intimate look into the private lives of one of Hollywood’s most endearing couples (together for over 15 years). Share private moments at their Las Vegas retreat; tag along on Tony’s personal appearances and university lectures; and, most importantly, learn more about Shiloh’s ongoing quest.

The Jill & Tony Curtis Story is presented in widescreen with an aspect ratio of 16 x 9. Special features include three bonus documentaries: “Tony Curtis: The Artist Extraordinaire,” “When Tony Met Jillie” and “The Love of Horses”; archival footage of Marilyn Monroe from The Misfits (1961); and a bonus music video of “The Jill & Tony Curtis Song.”
