I remember when Douglas appeared on Saturday Night Live (back when SNL was funny.)

A cast member remarked that the familiar dimple in his chin had disappeared.

“Oh that,” Douglas replied. “That’s done with make up.”

True story from Kirk’s autobio........when he married his second wife, she said, “you’re a major star.....where are your assets?”

Kirk told her not to worry, an “accountant” handled all his finances.

But, she was very smart....and very suspicious.

She hired a major accounting firm without telling Kirk. She told them to find all of Kirk’s assets.

They came back and told her Kirk had nothing.

When she told Kirk, he confronted the accountant....who turned out to be a crook ...in league with the crooked lawyer who fleeced Doris Day of millions.

He got some of it back.....but was owed stolen money for years.

Deserving or not, another recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

This one was given by Jimmah Carter on his way out the door in 1980.

I don't recall any conservative Republicans complaining that Kirk Douglas was just another Hollywood lefty and didn't deserve that special honor only the President of the United States can bestow.

Douglas was accused by an anonymous blogger in 2012 of having raped actress Natalie Wood when she was 16. That’s what we know. Where’s the evidence?

I can accuse anyone of having raped someone nearly 60 years ago too. That makes me credible?

“15 year old Natalie Wood”

It was reported there was more than her. Things like this were kept hush hush back then.

Apparently you choose to live in a bubble... the story has been common knowledge for about 50 years, and has even been reported in documentaries, which is where I first heard of it, not from some blogger. LOL
