Everybody dies. 103 is a good run.

When I saw the thread title the first thing that came to mind was cory booker.

Damn.

Kirk Douglas was utterly and completely a man’s man.
Kind of odd...but my favorite role was Cactus Jack in The Villain. Just too much fun.

He was a great actor, but unfortunately a lifelong Democrat!

Oh, well. We all have our faults!

Eternal Memory, Kirk Douglas!

 

[ManyFeathers]

Well the Good Lord certainly didn't beat him out of much


He was definitely a film legend


RIP

Some people....smh



RIP to the final member of the Golden Age of Hollywood. As someone said, 103 is a great run and the legacy he left is one most of us can only dream of.


Fair winds and following seas LT.

Maybe the democratic party left Kirk, the way it did for so many over a certain age.

He was such a handsome, gifted actor, and was blessed with a long life and a family who obviously loved him.

Not to split hairs, but Olivia de Haviland is still alive and kicking, last I checked.

Worked his ass off at multiple slave wage gigs to pay for his education and theater experience.

Served as a comms officer in the Navy in WW2 until injured during a depth charge accident.

Paid all his dues and earned all his accolades. Yet he was still attributed his success to luck.

Sure, he was a liberal, but he had a very strong work ethic. I don't make a habit of insulting liberals who have work sweat on their back.

He also didn't think his celebrity entitled him to a political voice more valued than anyone else.

I'm happy he got to live a nice long life and see the fruits of his labors appreciated.

RIP

I've been watching Grit TV since it's one of the OTA channels I get. He starred in plenty of westerns in his time. He did War Wagon with John Wayne.

Kirk Douglas:

“I did four movies with John Wayne. We were a strange combination. He was a Republican and I was a Democrat. We argued all the time.”

RIP Spartacus!

That movie was hilarious.

Anyone as old a Kirk Douglas should get a pass for that. The Democrat party he joined back in the day is nothing like today's party.

 

[Bluesman60]

One of his best roles in me humble opinion was as Commander Egan In Harm's Way.

RIP

Just watched The Strange Love of Martha Ivers. Good, creepy movie. A difficult first role and he did it very well.

Rest in peace, Mr. Douglas.

Great point. He was at least the last leading man.

Just looked up de Haviland, she's almost 104 herself. WOW
