Kirk Douglas (1916-2020) 


Hollywood acting legend Kirk Douglas has passed away from natural causes on 5th February 2020 at the ripe old age of 103 years. His legendary screen presence and indomitable spirit of acting were iconic and he has starred in over a dozen of feature films that maintained his charisma and celebrity status. He was one of the leading men of Hollywood and was one of the last surviving actors that lived through the Golden Age. He was also the father of Michael Douglas who still followed his acting footsteps.

Born to Russian parents that have emigrated to America, Kirk's real name was Izzy Demsky before he legally changed his name to Kirk Douglas prior to his enlistment in the United States Navy during World War II. Before his film acting career had begun Kirk had worked on radio, theater and commercials. He made his break through on stage in 'Kiss and Tell' when he took over a role that was originally portrayed by Richard Widmark. This led to other offers for Douglas and his career had blossomed and has later transitioned to movie roles, starting with his debut in 'The Strange Love of Martha Ivers' with Barbara Stanwyck. 

Kirk's leading persona and tough guy image was established in 1949 when he was chosen by producer Stanley Kramer as a boxer in 'Champion' which earned him his first Oscar nomination for Best Actor. It was soon followed up by his other early films including 'Young Man with a Horn', 'Ace in the Hole' with Lauren Bacall and 'Detective Story' which brought him a Golden Globe nomination. Kirk then appeared in 'The Bad and the Beautiful' which he again was nominated for an Oscar for his role as a movie producer. In 1954, the same year he played the titular character in 'Ulysses', Douglas proved that he could perform in roles that have a comedic touch, that in Walt Disney's big-budgeted adaptation of Jules Verne's '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea' in which he starred as the sailor Ned Land. In addition to starring in his movies, Kirk founded his own production company Byrna Productions which he named after his mother. 

Kirk has played Vincent Van Gogh in 'Lust for Life' which grabbed him of his third Oscar nomination and has collaborated with a young unknown film director named Stanley Kubrick for the two films,'Paths of Glory' and more famously 'Spartacus'. It was the latter movie that featured Kirk in a role that defined his career as the title character who leads a rebellion among his fellow slaves. He was also the executive producer of that movie and was the producer of 'Lonely Are the Brave' which he also starred in. Throughout the decades, Kirk has continued to appear in more films like 'Gunfight at the O.K. Caroll', 'The Devil's Disciple', 'Seven Days in May', 'In Harm's Way', 'Saturn 3', 'The Final Countdown' (which is produced by his son Peter), 'The Man from Snowy River', 'Tough Guys', etc. 

In 1963, Kirk starred in a stage version of 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Next' which he had bought the rights of the novel from its author and was later made into a movie by his son Michael who produced it and starred Jack Nicholson in Kirk's stead when he was considered too old for the leading part.

Prior to his retirement from acting in 2004, Kirk had survived a helicopter crash in 1991 which nearly killed him, and suffered a stroke in 1996 which effected his speech. During that same year, he received an Honorary Award for his lifetime achievement in over 50 years. Kirk became a centenarian when he celebrated his 100th birthday and has appeared in 2018 Golden Globes at the age of 101 with his daughter-in-law Catherine Zeta Jones to help present the Best Screenplay award while receiving a standing ovation.

I confess that I never got to see many of Kirk Douglas' movies and I would have respected him as an actor. My condolences to his family and friends.
