It’s amazing how Kirk is 54 here and already lived a full life. He then almost doubled his age here. It’s incredible. Like that saying you only live once. With Kirk he sure did live twice.
i met kirk douglas in a book store in Dallas when he was in his early seventies. He looked like a retired trapeze artist. he was so well preserved it was really inspiring.
And eating well, fresh air with a house in Malibu,best medical money can buy and not a lot of stress, I mean, he's not doing 14 hour shifts in a car factory struggling to pay a mortgage or moonlighting a night job in the laundry to pay for his kids education is he? Not knocking it, sure he has lived cleanly, but he has tremendous advantage.
Alright! !!!!! Thank The Lord, I'm not the Only ONE that knows Kirk(Spartacus)Douglas is going to be 100, on Dec. 16,,,, I believe is his birthday. he Outlived the best of them, Age wise, I mean. John Wayne, Burt lancaster, Tony Curtis. He has strong genes.
For some reason i love how he says the word "picture", e.g. "...this was a picture I did with so & so..." It's his strong, affectionate label of his profession. A working man's actor.
I love these classic interviews with these legends, the likes of which we'll never see again. Kirk is funny, humble, honest, sincere and mesmerizing all at once. A true legend. If anything let's this interview down, I have to say is Dick himself, he tries to be funny but it comes across as sarcastic. In the Richard Burton interview he is a lot more sincere, and that's my favourite interview. We're so lucky that we can watch these time capsules over and over again, and relive a by gone era.
Kirk Douglas was a superb actor who lived a great long life. The great story he just told about Joe Tyne from Tulsa in the elevator was a great one. Dick Cavett is the greatest interviewer in television history.
so intense in his film roles I would never have guessed Kirk would be this relaxed and affable off screen. not afraid to poke fun at himself either.great guy and a great actor
Kirk was 54 years old during this interview. He lived an entire half century longer til February 2020 , 103 years old, RIP. His wife is 101 and was with him til the end.
What a great actor and he has a wonderful personality. He's very down to earth, I can easily see him drinking a beer with a stranger without being a pretentious Hollywood star.
I like watching those old interviews, not because I am,fascinated, I,am,often bored, but because I try to see something appealing in those people who are generally boring, and the one thing that absolutely wins me over and teaches me something about people is the genuineness and sincerity of their smiles, and so far I have three in my collection , John Lennon, marlon Brando and now Kirk Douglas
he was excellent in this interview, played the game but kept his dignity, open enough to be truly interesting. Tolerant, humble and generous. i think the man was all about the work.
This man is so awesome. He went through so much shit early in life which would have crippled most people. Instead he became this amazing figure who not only accomplished so many great things as an actor/producer, but as an extraordinary philanthropist. Chapeau, Mr. Douglas.
Cool guy, great actor. And, Kim Novak----to die for. Wish they had further discussed KD's portrayal of Vincent Van Gogh in "Lust For Life," one of his best-ever performances.
Me and my dad love to sit back and watch your movies especially the westerns I'm really glad that Clint Eastwood fixed a lot of films so we can enjoy them anyway God bless you and Merry Christmas and have a happy New Year to you and the whole Douglas family all the love in the world The faithful and true missionary Michael Steven Burnett
Kirk Douglas was about 54 years old when he did this interview & looks great for his age. I'd love to know his secret to longevity? he's a 101 today & still looks great for his age.
Dick Cavett is 5'6". He is up to something when he is asking the great Kirk Douglas about his height because the audience has had a chance to see them both standing earlier in the show, and while Douglas is taller, he is not that much taller. Anyway, it is a very enjoyable watch. Dick Cavett is not unknown in the UK, but mostly by those who know their US cultural history well. Russell Harty, in UK, perhaps comes closest to him as similarly articulate, but Cavett is better. Such an interesting period the late 60s early 70s: one golden age in cinema coming to an end, another (Scorcese, Altman etc) just about to begin.
I am 22 years old any why all the old generation ppl radiate so much class, style and charisma without an effort. That is so natural for them. Amazing. RIP world since 2000 !!
Homeboy's on weed. God bless this man. Best talk show host ever. What a joy to watch. No politics. No grand-standing. No bullshit (well, maybe a little bullshit).
It’s amazing how Kirk is 54 here and already lived a full life. He then almost doubled his age here. It’s incredible. Like that saying you only live once. With Kirk he sure did live twice.
And he only raped natalie wood once too.
He found life and lived it
No matter what
RIP Kirk, you were a legend. Your 103 years were well lived.
How did he die, drugs?
@@bigtwit799 @james guthrie He was 103. His cause of death was being 103.
@@ConservativeCoinCollector he only looks about 50 though!
a legend who raped natalie wood and got away with it.
@@ConservativeCoinCollector When you're 103 it can be anything...lol
He gets to watch his SON become an old man. Now that's impressive
Its not impressive its depressive...
Pity Natalie Wood didn't get to see her daughter grow up. But she was only 43. Mr. Douglas, Woody Allen, Harvey Weinstein ... is there a pattern?
@@olearysgrave fuck off
@@myahollandia3552 Oh, shut up.
He lived to see his grandson becoming a middle-aged man. Now that's something.
RIP LEGEND FOREVER ICONC ICON . Hollywood Golden Age . 103 Wonderful Years. Thank you for making Amazing Movies ❤️. December 9/1916- February 5 2020
They don’t make actors like this anymore. RIP one of the greatest ever craft the art of acting
I watched that show on TV in 1971 when I was a permanent resident of New York City !!!!! That was a life time ago...
Please post proof pronto, pics preferred
Watched it as well.. how incredible, a lifetime ago. I'd just had my first child; I was 22.
Kirk Douglas is just so likable in this interview.
i met kirk douglas in a book store in Dallas when he was in his early seventies. He looked like a retired trapeze artist. he was so well preserved it was really inspiring.
Did you have a conversation with him?
"5 to 10 minutes of exercise a day, that is all you need"..
This man is 100 years old now.
Noted.
101 ;-)
TucoChannel ooooooohhhh shieeettttt

He worked out more than 5-10 minutes a day...trust me
TucoChannel cry snowflake
This dude is gonna be 100 in December. Kirk Douglas is the man, a legend.
Alright! !!!!!
Thank The Lord,
I'm not the Only ONE that knows Kirk(Spartacus)Douglas is going to be 100,
on Dec. 16,,,,
I believe is his birthday.
he Outlived the best of them, Age wise, I mean.
John Wayne, Burt lancaster,
Tony Curtis.
He has strong genes.
Hard to believe he was in his 50s here, he took care of himself.
He's already 100!
5 - 10 minutes of exercise a day

My son Elijah, 23, for some reason just LOVES Kirk Douglas so much even when he was a child.... likely cause of '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea'
For some reason i love how he says the word "picture", e.g. "...this was a picture I did with so & so..."
It's his strong, affectionate label of his profession. A working man's actor.
You can really hear his son Michael's voice even more so if you listen to it with your eyes closed. Just amazing.
There was a scene in that film that he did in Spain w/Brenner where he was running and turned and looked almost identical to his boy, Michael!!!
Michael who?
Us and I love Michael Shane we don't see him in many movies anymore
I think it's Michael who got his voice isn't it?
I hear his son's voice too, saying "dad, why did you have to rape natalie wood?"
Love these old interviews. People had decorum and class. Just enjoyable! RIP
What a very Un-Hollywood sounding guy. A lovely,lovely man!
Perhaps the best celebrity interview i ever saw
Wow.
Kirk was very humble and sincere here. very nice. even today at 100 years old in interviews he is witty. humble and humorous.
Whenever I've seen Kirk Douglas over the years the word that comes to mind is vitality. They guy definitely lived a full life.
like when he raped natalie wood. real hero.
He was Gorgeous inside and out💕
I love these classic interviews with these legends, the likes of which we'll never see again. Kirk is funny, humble, honest, sincere and mesmerizing all at once. A true legend.

a funny, humble, honest, sincere guy who raped natalie wood. who else do you think is humble and sincere, harvey weinstein?
OMG love you Kirk. Happy to know that you are still with us at 103 I'm crying as I watched this interview. And your son Michael looks just like you.
My favorite all time actor Kirk Douglas and now I like him as a person.
Happy 100th birthday, Kirk Douglas! Truly a legend!!
his not that old
In his young days, Kirk would've been an excellent choice for the role of Wolverine.
My favorite actor!!
Kirk is gorgeous here. And oozing with charm.
wow those eyes & that genuine smile...Kirk shines.. very
charming & every inch a star ...
Watched the show live; Dick Cavett was the ace. I was 22 in '71. Intelligent times.
RIP and thank you for the entertainment and memories .
Always enjoyed his Westerns and his films with Burt Lancaster.
103 years young today. Happy birthday, Kirk Douglas!
In 1971 he was 52 and was only about half way through his life , magnificent 😂
101 years old and still kicking! Kirk the MAN

Kirk Douglas was a superb actor who lived a great long life.

Kirk will be 100 in a few short months. Married to the same girl for 62 years.
The Artful Dodger he’s turning 102 in less than 3 weeks now!😄😄
The Artful Dodger 103 & counting!
The Artful Dodger oh please, married to the same girl. Like all actors, he cheated on that lady religiously.
He did fuck a lot of bitches
Michael Clonts sadly he died last month
Wow, this show was something else. Wonderful.
so intense in his film roles I would never have guessed Kirk would be this relaxed and affable off screen. not afraid to poke fun at himself either.great guy and a great actor
47 years later, he is still around :) He turned 102 a few days ago.
Kirk was 54 years old during this interview. He lived an entire half century longer til February 2020 , 103 years old, RIP. His wife is 101 and was with him til the end.
Kirk, you were so real..not phony. I hope these young actors can learn from you.
You were the best!
To put things in perspective this was 47 years ago, and as of today, Dick Cavett is 82, and Kirk Douglas is 101! God bless them both!
What a great actor and he has a wonderful personality. He's very down to earth, I can easily see him drinking a beer with a stranger without being a pretentious Hollywood star.
Or raping natalie wood.
RIP KIRK DOUGLAS
a man's man and one of my absolute favorite people..💙🆒💙
48 years later still rocking with his pony tail legend
his son, the Great Michael Douglas, is one of my favorite actors. Gotta love Douglas. He was and is the fing man
Kirk's almost 103 years old! Amazing! Inspiring!
He is in the pits of hell for what he did to Natalie woods and killing that other star got her pregnant
@@candiceloyy1967 what? How the hell did Kirk Douglass kill Natalie Wood!? Who got pregnant? It was Robert Wagner who they Susie t killed Natalie
A great interview, Kirk comes up with great answers. He is a true star.
Kirk Douglas is a class act.
Been in love with this fine Actor for most of my life. Legends live forever.
Happy 103rd Birthday to the Honorable Hollywood Icon Kirk Douglas 🎂🎉🎈❤

So much charisma, so much confidence. A true man's man.
Like when he raped natalie wood.
he was excellent in this interview, played the game but kept his dignity, open enough to be truly interesting. Tolerant, humble and generous. i think the man was all about the work.
I haven’t (yet) seen a single Kirk Douglas movie and I am still mesmerized by this interview. That is the magic of this show!
This man is so awesome. He went through so much shit early in life which would have crippled most people. Instead he became this amazing figure who not only accomplished so many great things as an actor/producer, but as an extraordinary philanthropist. Chapeau, Mr. Douglas.
Yeah, tough times, like when he raped natalie wood.
such a legend. He's still as sharp as ever at 99
Next month 100
his not that old
Just turned 102 today!
Still looks young enough, to be a main star here, at 56 years old.
54
A great actor and a unique man
What a man
Cool guy, great actor. And, Kim Novak----to die for. Wish they had further discussed KD's portrayal of Vincent Van Gogh in "Lust For Life," one of his best-ever performances.
he looks amazing here, still has a bit of his blonde hair here. an absolute top act.
Great interview .
kirk is very much like michael. very confident but also humble
One of the very best actors I've had the opportunity to watch. Great interview, actually endearing.
This guy is exceptional...possibly the BEST American actor this world has ever seen. I love him to bits and now he's 100! Well done Kirk!
Marlon Brando, Robert DeNiro and Harvey Keitel beg to differ.
Me and my dad love to sit back and watch your movies especially the westerns I'm really glad that Clint Eastwood fixed a lot of films so we can enjoy them anyway God bless you and Merry Christmas and have a happy New Year to you and the whole Douglas family all the love in the world

I feel old..And Kirk is 6 years older than I am now in this clip...And he is still alive at 102..I could not imagine living another 53 years..haha..
now Kirk has just turned 102 years young
Kirk Douglas was about 54 years old when he did this interview & looks great for his age. I'd love to know his secret to longevity? he's a 101 today & still looks great for his age.
The man who won't die. Class act.
gawd how i love that 70's brass at the beginning...
I really admire this guy, Kirk Douglas. He is a symbol of energy, of life, of force, of greatness
Hard to believe that someone from that era is still with us.
too true
RIP the legend Kirk Douglas.
He looks and sounds just like Michael in this interview.
Kirk Douglas such a handsome man and a great actor.
Death is a term of life. Death is not sad if you lived a beautiful long life like Kirk Douglas. May he rest in peace.
"As a matter of fact, I'll tell you this..."
LOL, but in all seriousness, Kirk Douglas is a treasure!
Pure class. One of the greatest.
101 and counting, based on this interview seems like a great guy and a real pro
I can hear Michael in Kirk’s voice.
I am Sparticus!!!! Thank you Sir for your work. Both of you.

lust for life changed my life, thank you sir!
I cannot get over how much Michael looks like him!! Wow!
they even sound so similar too
R.I.P. Classy guy.
I am 22 years old any why all the old generation ppl radiate so much class, style and charisma without an effort. That is so natural for them. Amazing. RIP world since 2000 !!
Everyone looked cool in 1971.
71 was the zenith of cool.
It's been downhill ever since.
Homeboy's on weed. God bless this man. Best talk show host ever. What a joy to watch. No politics. No grand-standing. No bullshit (well, maybe a little bullshit).
come December of this year,kirk turns 100.
Kirk Douglas was Jack Burns in Lonely Are The Brave, a movie that could not be made today.
102 in December...legend
Hollywood success...Kirk one of the great communicators of the industry. Tough enough never to lie or brag
He and Burt Lancaster were real movie stars.
Simple man and great actor! Legend!
Kirk the Legend
@@chewie2055 stfu
He has now, one hundred two years old ; He is strong and amazing man, Good blessing him ....
