Oh... this should be interesting. People were wondering what the reactions would be about this just the other day.

I will go on the record to say he was awesome in Spartacus. That shouldn't be lost in the shitshow to come.

I was never a Kirk Douglas fan, but Out of the Past, Paths of Glory and Ace In the Hole are 3 all time favorites.

Re: RIP Kirk Douglas
Two Weeks in Another Town is the secret “sleeper” of his career. It’s one of his finest movies and nobody has seen it or talks about it.
Also, as an old man he played a dying man opposite Michael J Fox in a comedy where they were quarreling over an inheritance. Greedy is the title. He played a dying old man...and that was 26 years ago!!!

He wasn't one of my favorite actors, but I liked a lot of his movies and have enjoyed almost every performance of his that I've seen.
Detective Story is another of his lesser mentioned movies that's really good.
And he was 103! That's a great run!

Re: RIP Kirk Douglas
I think that his last great roles were in The Man from Snowy River.
I need to pull that one out and watch it again.

This might have been his final big role in a theatrical release back in 2003

Re: RIP Kirk Douglas
Lana Wood is still alive and kicking. She was waiting outside in the car for hours when it happened. This could get ugly.

Re: RIP Kirk Douglas
Was there a quote from Lana Wood somewhere that she wasn't going to name the man who did it while he was still alive?

Didn't know this part of the story. Robert Downey Jr. is rumored to have anonymously named Kirk years ago:

RIP to a Hollywood legend. Living 24 years post stroke is pretty amazing and going into his 100s.
For the record, I'm not familiar with the Natalie Wood rape story. But, I see there are many on Twitter who want to piss on his grave.

Natalie Wood? I thought that was Robert Wagner. I can't keep all the Hollyweird scandals straight.
