Kirk Douglas RIP

[DrBlueBob]

Didn't know about him being an acrobat. My first thought was that would be Burt Lancaster. I could be wrong.
Also wasn't KD a staunch member of the NRA? That rather colours my judgement of the man.

He could have done a great job for City, but those moguls in Hollywood turned the lad's head. Was he not on the terrace when we battered the Rags 6-1 in '26? He'd be 8yrs old. Der der da, der der da, der der der der der der der der der der! May the Good Lord rest yer bones, in Valhallah fellah,!

The first I heard of Kirk Douglas was a film called Tough Guys with Burt Lancaster, only a kid but I loved that film
Only later did I watch his epics
I’ve never seen his original “ Champ “

You're right Burt Lancaster was an acrobat in his early years.

Bert certainly was a high ranking NRA man as seen in Michael Moore's shooting for Columbine film. No idea about Douglas
