Congratulations to Kirk Douglas. He's 100 today. A centenarian. Who would have imagined it, back when he had his massive stroke? He despaired, and almost shot himself, banged the handgun on a tooth, and it hurt, and he took stock at the irony of waiting to blow his brains out because of a hurting tooth, and reconsidered … and now he's a hundred years old…………….. |

I'm gonna have a little film fest here at work today. Spartacus and then The Vikings. |

Important guy. Gave us a great example of manliness back when that wasn't a bad thing. Defined Ned Land for all time. |

Yup, I would expect TCM to have a Kirk day. Quite a few great movies. |

Yes! Finally one that reached a 100! All the other actors on my 100 watch list didn't make it… congratulations mr Douglas |

Nice to celebrate someone being alive in 2016 rather than adding a post on the Obituary Board ! |

Happy Birthday Mr. Douglas! From "Ragpicker's Son" to living screen legend!

I just had a scary thought. When if Kirk Douglas is necromancer? The reason for all the celebrity deaths this year is because he draws power from their deaths to keep him self alive? |

If so, his magic isn't very good. He looks like hell…………… |

We better all hope we look so good by then. Ironic,in a way,that in his first film,he played a wimp: m.imdb.com/title/tt0038988 Of course, he played other tortured or damaged characters during a long career. I remember an interview where he talked about a conversation with John Wayne,who asked him why he took such roles. He was a bit nonplussed,and said something like "Uh,because I'm an actor?" He wondered about that exchange,until it hit him: "He thought he was really John Wayne!" |
