    Deserves to be remembered as a legend RIP.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,863 ✭✭✭touts


    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.

    He seemed to be so cherished by his family.

    To thine own self be true

    Definition of a legend. RIP.

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,700 ✭✭✭Padre_Pio


    Michael Douglas is 75. Imagine having your father all the way to that age.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,820 ✭✭✭smelly sock


    Wow. Only watched Spartacus on Sunday with herself.

    RIP.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,026 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    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.

    loved him in tough guys in which he plays an ex con rehabilitated into society...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,059 ✭✭✭Tuco88


    Lonely are the brave was excellent... Great actor.

    Definition of a legend. RIP.




    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 801 ✭✭✭Beanntraigheach


    Born and raised in extreme poverty and manged to build an amazing life for himself.
    Also, lived in 12 decades!

    RIP

    Did he die sudden??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,419 ✭✭✭joeguevara


    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

    Lone are the Brave has to be my favourite Kirk Douglas movie about a rural cowboy on the run from the police. RIP Kirk

    Prince Charles is probably thinking "103? Fück."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,226 ✭✭✭gifted


    He was class.....loved his films 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?

    Sure the Queen won`t be 94 until April. She is only a youngster by comparison.
