A legend would never have appeared in "Saturn 3."
Eastwood did survive a ditching at sea when he was US Army...very well could have died in uniform..
“Eastwood never fought and was wounded defending America’s freedom as Douglas did. Eastwood was a star in his time. Douglas is a legend.”
Kirk is a legend in his own, and your, mind. Eastwood is eternal; 100 years from now, people will still watch “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly” but will ask “who the hell was that Kirk guy?”
