    Called Stanley Kubrick "a talented shit" after they fell out, which after reading how he treated his actors and how incredible his films are, is probably the best assessment of him.

    I think I first saw him in Gunfight at the O.K corall but strangely enough despite him being a recognisable and iconic actor I don't remember many other of his films by name even though
    he seemed to be on TV all the time when I was a kid.
    Happy Birthday KD

    this story sounds too good to be true .. BUT .. one of Kirks' sons, the luckless Eric who tragically o'd aged 46 tried stand up comedy as a career ..
    at one disatserous gig in London's Comedy Store he was going down like a lead balloon and turned to one heckler and cried .. 'do you know that I am Kirk Douglas's son ?'
    .. wait for it ..

    ... the retort ? .. no I am Kirk Douglas's son .. another .. no I am Kirk Douglas's son .. ... etc etc etc echoing around the room .. alas poor Eric, trying to emulate a superstar father

    Thanks to 'The Times' for the story which I have heard before

    If your that old and famous and you still make it out the other side of 2016, then you must be pretty much immortal.
