He was 103. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/05/movies/kirk-douglas-dead.html?action=click&module=Top Stories&pgtype=Homepage 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members xtr Posted February 6, 2020 Members Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) RIP to Kirk Douglas. I'm glad he lived a very long and I believe happy life. It's also nice he had a very long marriage and was close his children, especially Michael. I was just talking about Kirk the other day with my dad. We had wondered how old he was exactly, (we knew he was over 101, lol). We had looked up his age, and was glad to see that he was still around and was as old as he was. He was definitely one of the last of his kind from his generation. Edited February 6, 2020 by xtr 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted February 6, 2020 Members Share Posted February 6, 2020 A legend whose work I adore. As for the man, his legacy is very complicated if the oldest Hollywood rumor is true. Still, RIP. Please see Billy Wilder's Ace in the Hole - a very relevant film even now, and one of Douglas' best performances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted February 6, 2020 Members Share Posted February 6, 2020 You mean the vicious brutal rape of Natalie Wood that everyone knew about but still praised and gave him God like status? If that is true, and I believe it is, he can rot in hell! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted February 6, 2020 Members Share Posted February 6, 2020 I don't believe it's true at all, if so then why did nothing ever come of it? It's been RUMORED for years but not a shred of proof 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 6, 2020 Author Members Share Posted February 6, 2020 Look, it cuts both ways: if I'm not allowed to bring up the rape allegations against Kobe Bryant mere days after his death, then no one is allowed to bring up the rumors surrounding Mr. Douglas. End of subject. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted February 6, 2020 Members Share Posted February 6, 2020 Just like there's not a shred of proof against Weinstein or Trump. This is why Wood didn't come forward because who would believe her or help her get justice against a Hollywood "God"?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DAMfan Posted February 7, 2020 Members Share Posted February 7, 2020 A Kirk Douglas and Kim Novak Strangers When We Meet is worth a look however they changed the ending of film of what happened in the book. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
