- Just one look at the piercing features of Kirk Douglas's face is enough to understand that he was an outstanding old-school Hollywood movie star. Whether he was playing Vincent Van Gogh or Spartacus, Douglas always brought to the screen an intensity unmatched by anyone else. However, the real drama unfolded when the cameras stopped rolling. From numerous changes to daunting accusations, it's hard to say whether Kirk Douglas was a hero or a villain.
Many actors like to draw attention to their difficult childhoods, but Kirk Douglas didn't need to embellish his story. Born as Issur Danielovitch to a family of Russian Jewish immigrants in Amsterdam, New York, his family and friends called him Izzy, the only boy among six sisters. His parents came to America hoping for a better life, but their American dream soon turned into a nightmare.
So glad to have grown up in the 50's and 60's.
@sidemann your right America still meant American.
Same here. Different kind of life.
Same here.. but I don't miss this particular actor... although he co-starred with the Great Burt Lancaster, he never impressed me ever... mediocre at best...
Too bad Natalie Wood didn't scratch him up for evidence and call the police on him and I'm sure he murdered Jean Spangler. The guy had a temper and did as he pleased and used the excuse of growing up a poor Jew to start fights and I don't care how good of an actor he was or gave to charities. Guilty conscience? Too bad someone like Jack Palance, Anthony Quinn or Burt Lancaster didn't give him an attitude adjustment.
I agree. From that biography, I can see now that Kirk Douglas was really one big jerk.

Where is the iron glad prove ? Until anyone has that prove they should shut up !
@@HartmutJagerArt This isn't the first time these things about Douglas have been said so those in denial and rapist lovers should shut their trap!!!
Unless there is Iron Glad prove, everyone should shut up with their accusations !
Always thought Spangler's death was the result of a botched termination.
That scene in the mirror in Lust for Life it is still The .Most Powerful, Best Scene Ever for Me.
Natalie's sister Lana also tried to accuse Robert Wagner of killing Natalie.
I definitely believe Lana Wood is trying desperately to write a Book about Natalie's Death, if she hasn't already.
The LASD re-opened the case and named Wagner a person of interest.
I enjoyed reading Douglas' autobiography, "The Ragman's Son."
Misogyny is a hell of a drug.
Inferiority complex
Turned to acting to become
Someone
Lancaster used to tease him
About his height!
It makes ense taht he was molested as a teenager by his English teacher. Since then, he had to conquer women in order to prove to himself that he was a man. In reality a pathetic figure.
Disdusting his rape of Natalie Wood. I do however admire him for fighting the Black List system by getting Donald Trumbo to write Spartacus & make that film.
Unless there is Iron Glad prove, everyone should shut up with their accusations against Kirk Douglas !
- Spiteful rumors and unproven innuendos are Not Facts ! -
The Natalie Wood info was a long told Hollywood rumor. I heard that back in the 70’s.
True, but rumors are not facts ! -
Kirk was a chambermaid? Do these people speak English?
Pretty sure this is read by AI
"PEOPLE?"
POS.
Good Grief... Another Figures Memories Dashed in Pieces. I've Always enjoyed Kirk Douglas's Acting. Too Bad that we Find Out the Dark Truth's like Bill Cosby Being a Serial Rapist. It Really makes you Question a lot of other people's character.
Only if you're ridiculously credulous.
You are either a good person or you are not. So many give in to the dark side, and people get hurt as a result.
White, rich men could get away with absolutely anything back then. It’s still really bad now but at least woman have some rights today.
NO,,,, Bill Cosby ADMITTED DRUGGING WOMEN AND THEN MELESTING THEM.
BIG DIFFERENCE, COSBY WAS GUILTY,
KIRK DOUGLAS WAS INNOCENT,
TERRIBLE TO MAKE FALSE ALLEGATIONS ON SOMEONE, WHO PASSED AWAY AND NOW CAN'T DEFEND THEMSELVES.
KIRK DOUGLAS, (MILITARY HERO)

I grew up watching His movies and loved Him in all of them. I think His best role was in Path’s of Glory based on the true story of the Souain Corporals Affair. All the actors in that were outstanding. I always Hear this stuff about being Jewish and I don’t understand the big deal. I am of Northern Italian and Portuguese Azores Ancestry and found that My DNA is also Sub Saharan African and Northern European Jewish , everybody is a mixture , get over it. I think He had a nice family and His Son Mike is one of My favorite actors too. All His kids did well enough that they didn’t need His money.My dad would have called Him Gravy as a nickname and told Him “ If I had Your Money I Could Burn Mine. heard He liked to Hunt and I do Too that always give’s Me a feeling of connection. I also like the Story of How He handled His Estate.
My Favorite Kirk Douglas movie was "Spartacus" !
Lana Wood (Natalie's sister) was going to blow the whistle on him after he died. She did not though, we don't know why. Maybe she did not want to deal with his family's wrath.
Perhaps, like many other, she too had no prove !
...or she did Not have any prove !
Or: - Spiteful rumors and unproven innuendos are Not Facts ! -
She did. There are interviews with her about it
My friend tried to have Kirk see the world in a clear way.
He cleaned his windows.
Era muito bonito e talentoso.
