More than once I wondered if he was actually going to live forever. Seems like a generation since he suffered his stroke, and it hadn't even really slowed him down.

One of the all-time greats. Never had a poor acting performance. He was an old school Hollywood elite and one of the greatest actors ever. RIP.

RIP

His delivery describing hanging to Earl Holliman in Last Train from Gun Hill is brutally fantastic.

103 is a hell of a run. RIP to a legend!

Kirk Douglas was the son of a hard-drinking Jewish immigrant ragman and junk collector according to the Arizona Jewish Post

He was a unique person. RIP.

dang. RIP.

He was in that 1986 movie TOUGH GUYS where he and Burt Lancaster play old train robbers who get out of prison.

I remember thinking he held up well.

Was nominated for an Oscar three times but never won. He was given a lifetime achievement Oscar though.

RIP. I don't think there is any movie he ever made I wouldn't watch multiple times.

Old story from 7-8 years ago.

Quote:

[This story] concerns one of the biggest male stars ever, and one of the most beloved female stars to ever live…

One day she was invited to meet with this movie star about an upcoming major role. This man was a legend already, and was very powerful. … Thinking [s]he herself was powerful and savvy, she accepted the invite. In his hotel room. She never saw it coming.

Without even discussing the film, this actor — drunk already — began making a pass at her. She politely declined, and excused herself. He wouldn't have it. He literally threw her down, slapped the hell out of her, and ripped her clothes off. He shouted obscenities at her, continually punched and held her arms so tight he left scars and bruises.

He raped her repeatedly, spitting on her, and did permanent damage to her body. She was bleeding everywhere, with a battered face. She passed out. When she came to, the actor was still in the room gloating, and told her to come see him tomorrow night and he might give her the role. He laughed at her as she fell down, her legs so wobbly and weak. She gathered her torn clothes, and tried to walk out of the hotel and to her car - blood and semen running down her legs and bruises already forming on her face.

She could barely make it back home in her car. She wanted to kill herself, so ashamed of what happened. The damage to her psyche was permanent, and haunted her forever.

…Her mom said she must have made the actor mad and offended him. They called a doctor, who took her to the hospital secretly to have her treated… The studio knew, and did nothing. After all, the star actor was a money machine. … She grew into an amazing woman with a legendary career. But she never forgot, or forgave, and never got over what happened.

She never named the star actor publicly, but her friends and family knew the truth. Even after marriage and kids, if she saw this actor anywhere - she would almost convulse and cry. And worst of all, Hollywood and the world continued to honor him, pay him, and treat him like a king.

Today, he's still alive and barely holding on. But those who know the truth are still hoping and praying he will rot in hell for eternity. That all his good deeds and donations will never mask the truth…

So when the time comes, and the now 95-year -ld Kirk Douglas, the superstar actor, finally dies, there will be tributes and honors about him. Just remember that he is a monster who never repented, apologized, nor showed any sorrow for destroying the lives of others. Especially the life of that young beloved actress named Natalie Wood.
