    He was still alive? Fair play. I honestly thought he passed a few years ago. Maybe that was tributes to him turning 100.

    But seriously RIP. I saw Spartacus on TV over Christmas and it's still a good watch. Paths of Glory is another good one that stands the test of time.

    Had the pleasure of meeting Kirk Douglas at a charity do once. He was surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny.

    Ah no. But at 103 he had a good innings as they say. The phrase last of a generation surely applies to him given he was around during a golden age of Hollywood.

    Amazing. Good that his father went before him. Something not right about a father out living his child due to old age.

    Legends.

    He made this with his other son Eric in the 90s. It’s both a homage to Paths of Glory but also as much about his son Eric who had serious drug problem and couldn’t seem to cope with the immense pressure that being a Douglas brought in Hollywood.

    Served in WW2.

    His second wife is 100, married for 65 years.


    He got a good run at it and made the most of it.

    Olivia de Havilland is still alive and was born four months before Kirk Douglas!

    Vera Lynn is also alive but won't be 103 until next month.

    My father always tells the story of when my brother was born, the first thing he said when he described him was ‘he has a dimple on his chin, just like Kirk Douglas’.

    Legend. RIP

    Why was my comment on the rape allegations against him removed?
    It's factual and we'll documented.

    Thought all rapists were scumbags around here?

    Some man for one man. I remember being very entertained as a small boy by his performance as hearty harpooner Ned Land in Disney's 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. RIP. :cool:

    She's still kicking? Fair play. Another one of the greats from that era.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    If he did nothing else, he financed One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and made it happen.

    One of the best films of all time.

    Did he? Thought it was just Michael who produced it but maybe Kirk did aswell.

    Edit - yeah I see on google you are correct
