Kirk Douglas RIP

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Rip Kirk. Olivia De Haviland is still going. She may actually be the only living cast member from "Gone With the Wind" i may be wrong though.

EDIT Seems there is one other cast member still alive.

Must be one of the child actors.

103, great actor from when films were judged on things such as acting other than special effects...RIP

RIP Kirk, so many great films....

One of the first to pop into my head was the circus one? Iirc didn't he start out as an acrobat in a circus?

Time for a trip to Wiki...

RIP to a true great.

Paths of Glory, by Kubrick, is in my top 5 war films of all time, and Kirk was brilliant in it.
And yes, he was a trained acrobat.

Hard to believe his wife is still alive and she's past the 100 years mark as well

103!!!!! Wow. RIP.

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.

Rip Kirk

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

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,!

I loved his films ....... all of my childhood actors are disappearing


RIP

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
