Happy 101st birthday, Kirk Douglas!
Various | Dec 09, 2017 | n/a

Posted on 12/09/2017 5:44:25 PM PST by Ken H

A living legend, born December 09, 1916. My 3 favorite movies of his are Spartacus, In Harm's Way, and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Also a real life hero =>

"He enlisted in the United States Navy in 1941, shortly after the United States entered World War II, where he served as a communications officer in anti-submarine warfare. He was medically discharged for war injuries in 1944."

Just watched Spartacus last weekend. Gladiator was pretty much a rip-off.

A person in the know told me in 1994 that he was not being taken care of. This woman went to his home twice a month to do his hair.

It is stunning that Michael had 2 kids with Catherine when he was 56 and 59 years old. Not only is the Dad still kicking at 73 with the kids being 17 and 14, but they have 2 sets of Grandparents living. Some kids literally have everything.

I liked the first two, did not see
20,000 leagues, he was a great actor
and most likely a great guy.

Wow. Happy Birthday!

I remember reading his autobiography. It was pretty interesting. Every woman he wanted, he got.

He’s been very kind to our mutual alma mater, St. Lawrence University. Happy Birthday.

My favorite Kirk Douglas movie is the ‘The Final Countdown’.

Not a great movie but I’m not a film buff.

“”He enlisted in the United States Navy in 1941, shortly after the United States entered World War II, where he served as a communications officer in anti-submarine warfare. He was medically discharged for war injuries in 1944.”

What a contrast with the Hollywood pukes of today.

“I think it was also my favorite.”

Eye plucked out by a hawk in the Vikings.Memorable.
