Three academy awards, a Lifetime Achievement Oscar, and married for 65 years (his wife survived him). A damn impressive life.
Rest in peace.

103 years is a hell of a good run regardless. Rest in peace.

There goes another. Farewell Spartacus. And Colonel Dax. And Einar. And Jack Burns. The world is a little colder for your passing.

Re: Kirk Douglas dead at 103.
Sorry, should correct the OP: three academy award nominations. Didn't actually win, until the lifetime achievement award.
Still, a very impressive career. I wasn't aware of his role in ending the blacklist, so thanks for posting that FaxModem.

He had a long, active life and I suspect there is much the typical person is unaware of when it come to this man. 103 is a very impressive run. Rest in peace.

103 is a good run. I am leery since I heard the possibility he raped Natalie Wood. If they’re bullshit Rest In Peace
