Spartacus was one of his best as far as I am concerned. He had a stroke years ago and had to learn to talk again. Even survived a helicopter crash. I also liked him in Paths of Glory. The movie actually got banned in France.

Sorry to see him go, but great that he lived until 103!

Wow he must have seen so much in his life.

One of my favorite actors (I watch old movies). Does anyone know what kind of Jew he was? Maybe Orthodox?

Rest in peace, Issur Danielovitch. Thanks for the wonderful entertainment - you were one of the best - and condolences to your family.

Typical Hollywood lib of his era, but a great actor nonetheless.

"Top Secret Affair" with Susan Hayward was always funny and intelligent to me.

Kirk Douglas was a presence. A real star.

RIP

The last time I saw him, it was on an episode of ‘Touched By An Angel’ back in 2000. He did a great job on this, even after his stroke.

Rest in Peace, sir.

“last of the golden age”

Last?

Last I knew Olivia deHavilland is still alive, and she’s more solidly in the Golden Age than Douglas!
