- Kirk Douglas, the cleft-chinned movie star who fought gladiators, cowboys and boxers on the screen and the Hollywood establishment, died on Wednesday at the age of 103, his son Michael Douglas said.
“Kirk’s life was well lived, and he leaves a legacy in film that will endure for generations to come, and a history as a renowned philanthropist who worked to aid the public and bring peace to the planet,” Michael added, saying he was “so proud” to be his father’s son. Mitzi Gaynor, who appeared with Douglas in the 1963 movie “For Love or Money,” said the film would “always hold a special place in my heart.”Danny DeVito called him an “inspirational Scallywag,” while Ed Asner tweeted “I will always be in your awe.”
Douglas had a distinctive chin, razor-sharp cheekbones and a jutting jaw - looks that he passed along to Michael - and that made him a natural for playing all manner of rugged characters. Douglas’ first movie was “The Strange Love of Martha Ivers,” in 1946 after being suggested for the part by acting school classmate Betty Joan Perske, who became famous after changing her name to Lauren Bacall.
Born Issur Danielovich on Dec. 9, 1916, in Amsterdam, New York, Douglas was the only son of seven children born to illiterate Russian immigrants.

Great actor, his works are immortal, gave enjoyment to the whole world ,rest in peace.
Wasn’t he a rapist?
Who cares. I don't see how people care so much for people they never met. He was a good actor big deal he was also a zionist.
The headline should read: The end of Classic film stars looms ever closer. A great one passed today.

Rapist
I've watched falling down just this tuesday
He was great at what he did for a living: professional acting. His talent is forever preserved in the films he starred in which are still available to watch if you have not already done so. Rest in Peace Mr. Issur Danielovitch Demsky, son of Russian Jewish legal immigrants.
Úžasná bytost ❤️
Úžasná bytost ❤️
Dalya artı 3 demiş. Eski toprak idi. Gerçek aktör. Böylesi gelmiyor artık. Şimdikilerin her biri ayrı bir poser, charlatan, con artist. Rest in Peace. May God bless him.
Notwithstanding any personal deficiencies he was great at what he did for a living: professional acting. His talent is forever preserved in the films he starred in which are still available to watch if you have not already done so. Rest in Peace.

Spartacus is rad. One of my favorites.
İntihar etmiştir yoksa ölememe hastalığının pençesinde kıvranıyordu biçarem.
Most of us will be very pleased to reach 80max I am sure 🙏🙏🙏 RIP Mr.Douglas you Sir are one of those gems that can't be ever replaced
Great actor, good innings, sad day.

RIPKirkDouglas
Finally, he can be somewhere Trump isn’t
He is part of my life! Evry film i saw as a child somehow had Kirk as it’s hero. Spartacus is the most memorable but they were all great. Goodnight dear soul. Rest in Peace.
