Default Kirk Douglas dead at 103

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/05/o...core-ios-share

One of the greats and a Golden Age alumnus. Instrumental in the end of the Hollywood Blacklist and a huge presence in movies like Spartacus. Father of Michael Douglas, another great actor.

Rest in peace.

I just watched 20,000 leagues and Spartacus last week and commented to my wife that he was still alive. He was one of the greats.

Amazing life and career.



Loved him in Greedy which was a seriously under rated movie.


So many movies that he was absoutely great in that were named above.

Incredible life, and the ripe age of 103 even AFTER significant strokes, what was it, two decades ago now? That guy was a tough SOB, one of the last.

Here's a clip from my favorite film of his. An early Kubrick film called Paths of Glory, about an episode of "mass desertion" of the French army during a WWI attack.



This is the scene that follows their execution. Kirk chews scenery.
