    A movie icon and lived a great long life, one he certainly didn't wish for Palestinians as he was an ardent supporter of Zionism

    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.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    RIP Kirk Douglas.

    I was lucky enough to see a special screening of Paths of Glory in the cinema (for the 1st time too) last year.

    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

    Honestly I wouldn't want to live until I am 103. That is some age to be still knocking about. Wow

    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?

    they're scumbags when its proven, what we have in that case is hearsay

    One of first films I saw him in was one with Doris Day called Young Man With A Horn. Has anyone else ever seen a Young Man With A Horn ?

    Google Mairin Hughes. At 103 years still takes the bus to town. On her own.

    She was an amazing teacher back in the day, She is something else, and is very private really. But what a gal. I know her personally just saying.
