Tony Curtis makes a cameo in a Roman Polanski film.....I 'll leave someome else to name the film and what capacity his cameo was. Clue; it was a speaking part and not just a walk on.

He was the voice of the actor (Donald Baumgart) who goes blind,which

opens the way for the John Cassavetes character (Guy Woodhouse) to get the part!

Sorry the film is "Rosemary's Baby"

Well, he's always in the titles isn't he...........

I wonder if he actually writes his own books or has a small army of clerks cranking out the chapters for him to edit together............... $10 a page or something......

I don't know about "Most" of them.
His IMDb listing shows 109 titles where he has a writing credit (and that's just counting multiple episodes of a series as a single entry) but he only has 17 credits as an actor doing cameo appearances

They list another 25 where he plays himself but many of those are documentaries or interviews

See List of Hitchcock cameo appearances

Michael Powell used to do it a few times as well, but that was just because they didn't have anyone else who could do the role. And he was an actor in some of the early silent films he worked on, usually as a comic English tourist!
