<p>Mr. Takata is a big fan of Tony Curtis and the movie "Some Like It Hot" considered the greatest comedy ever made. It was the 50th anniversary of the filming of the movie and there was an exclusive dinner party held at the Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego, California. The Hotel Del Coronado was the location of the original filming of the movie. The party was fabulous and Mr. Curtis gave a speech about his career and the filming of the movie. Also legendary producer Walter Mirisch was there and he talked about the film. Mr. Curtis is now a famous artist and his art is part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In spite of the crowds present, Mr. Takata was able to talk to Mr. Curtis for several minutes. Mr. Takata purchased a small painting by Mr. Curtis titled "Double Mint". It is shown in the photo below.</p>
