leave the old gentleman alone.

Please explain what you mean by that. Is he being haunted, harrassed, threatened by the posters here?

Kirk Douglas’ life is a true American story.

He was born of parents who were dirt poor Jewish immigrants,
enlisted in the United States Navy in 1941, shortly after the United States entered World War II. (He was medically discharged for war injuries in 1944.)
Coming from a poor family, as a boy Douglas worked on his father’s ‘rag cart’, sold snacks to mill workers to earn enough to buy milk and bread. Later, he delivered newspapers and worked at more than forty jobs educating himself and becoming an actor.

He started out by doing bit parts in radio and on stage- and through hard work and perseverance, became one of the biggest classic stars of all time- an American legend.

I think this old gentleman has earned our respect, admiration and certainly our appreciation for the wonderful body of entertainment he has left us.
He does not deserve the nasty remarks on this forum.
