And after 103 long lived years Kirk Douglas has passed on! He’s lived through two World Wars, a Great Depression, fought in WWII, helped end the Hollywood Blacklist, survived a helicopter crash, survived a stroke, and lived on to be over 100. That is one hell of a long gifted life. May he rest in eternal peace. Long Live Spartacus!
I believe he was 79 years old here, he had recently suffered a stroke. Look back at him in the movie Spartacus ...he was a physically strong man, with a zest for life, full of energy and hope...here he is still standing strong - in spirit and stature, he is still full of life and hope. He would fight and continue for another 24 years... RIP dear Kirk, God speed Sir.
It's a real shame they no longer show this award (let alone the level of respect shown here) in the main Oscars ceremony; Kirk Douglas will forever be remembered as one of the true greats of Hollywood.
Funny how you were thinking about him the day before he died. The question is did you think about him everyday before he died probably not. If I could probably have thought about him for years had you in fact he probably popped up in your mind more than you conjuring him up. One day and 2012 I took an afternoon nap and I sold him ever sleep during the day but this day I slowly woke up on the couch in the middle of the afternoon sensing the presents of a very warm intelligent funny diva. I couldn't place who it was I kept thinking it was one of the spinster sister old friends of my mom's when I was a kid. I was 48 years old by this time, and whoever the lady was I knew my new more is it youth than as the adult. She was right there right beside me on the couch close up to me a vibrating presents so intense and so familiar. I suddenly recognize who it was. It was Phyllis Diller I knew it was Phyllis Diller. So woke myself completely up and say it to myself Phyllis Diller I haven't thought about her since I was 12 years old. But I had to immediately look her up because I needed to know if she was alive or dead it had been so long since I heard about her but sure enough there I saw on her Wiki that she was still alive and 95 years old. 24 hours later maybe 36 hours later I found out she had died the next day in her sleep more likely died overnight that night in his sleep I think maybe the stars do come to their fans honestly are transitioning out of their bodies they resonate with all who were enamored by them. By the way I know it sounds strange why would I be such a fan of Phyllis Diller. But you can't choose who you're appealed by but I always noticed her since I was a kid and paid attention to anything she was doing.
that speech is a true testament to his strength, that he was able to speak with that much clarity of speech after having such a severe stroke...you rock kirk!!
Remember It's very bad and classless to talk about someone who did You should have waited while he was alive I bet you can't wait to see what they talked about you after you die right
More like he hired great writers who were cheap because of the blacklist. The blacklist writer he hired for his production company said that Kirk never broke the list.
Dalton Trumbo wrote Spartacus and he was as they say a 'commie' Spartacus is full of leftist undertones if you look closely but so what?Kirk did good in hiring Trumbo.
And now at 101 he's as sharp as a tack and truly an inspiration. It's so wonderful to see the love his sons and his family have for him and the love he gives back! Truly an unforgettable moment in Oscar History!
An AMAZING actor. In the scene from Spartacus when he stood up and said "I'm Spartacus!!" I had a tear in my eye and I was only a child then but that scene moved me so much. RIP Mr. Douglas.
Partió este gigante de la actuación. Grande entre los grandes, por decir lo menos. para que mencionar su carrera , los que apreciamos y valoramos la genialidad y la calidad en el cine, sabemos quién fué este hombre. Issur Danielovitch Demsky. Grande tu proyecto personal como Productor, y actor principal en el film Espartaco. mi película favorita de todos los tiempos. gran dirección. mereciste el Óscar . Es mi omenaje personal al Gran Kirk Douglas.
Kirk Douglas is the epitome of the man's man. Talk about a tough guy right there. From that generation of actors that had that quality. Great man, and great actor.
what a talent, what a man who hides in a role but still shows how all of us can see & understand what drive that character to our hearts and soul. RIP, and thanks Kirk.
He passed away just hours ago at 103 yrs old. This man was tough as nails, yet gentle as a summer's breeze. One of my all time favorite actors who brought true acting and theatrics to the screen. I love him and god bless his soul! Rest now you Spartan 😪.
I really enjoy watching Kirk Douglas in all those old movies, and will long after he is gone. He was so handsome, still is with his snow-white hair and he still has that dimple in his chin! Live well, KD, and pain free in your well-earned retirement! You have achieved 102, there's no reason you can't go on a few more years! Bless you.
Well, this past Sunday he made it to 102 and still going strong. His stroke recovery is an inspiration to others who have been afflicted: Don’t ever give up!
Cool. Great actor. R.I.P. He was 103 years old. It won't be long and Olivia DeHavalin will be gne. She Too is 103. She played in Gone With The Wind and many Errol Flynn movies.
RIP Colonel Dax, Spartacus Odysseus, Vincent Van gogh and etc... fight against the McCarthyism and finallly breaking the blacklist; you surivives many battles and faced many tragedies in your entire and long life Farewell FOREVER "THE RAGMAN SON"
It takes extraordinary courage to come on stage to accept a life achievement Oscar when the effects of a debilitating stroke are evident, as was the case with Kirk Douglas. In his book, he states that he debated whether to simply say thank you when accepting the award, in order to minimize his embarrassment. However, he decided to rehearse an acceptance speech, which he executed flawlessly and with dignity. He is now 98 years old, and he can look back on a career of memorable performances, most particularly Minnelli's Lust For Life and The Bad And The Beautiful.
+BRAD PITT I remember Douglas disclosing that he had several affairs with his leading ladies in his autobiography, The Ragman's Son, however, who is Douglas alleged to have "raped"?
+BRAD PITT I'm sorry, mr. Pitt, I didn't know you were a detective who worked the rape case. I assume you are, of course, as you make these accusations as they are facts? Now, here I was silly to believe they were rumours. But by all means, I'm sure you have some hard evidence there in your detective desk.
+BRAD PITT You must be joking, right? He had a debilitating stroke, he continued to make films, including Diamonds, and a collaboration with his son, Michael, and he is now a best selling author , and he celebrated his 99th Birthday today!
+ALE280290 Absolutely...an American treasure. He's one of those actors that when he is on screen you can't take your eyes off him. Spartacus, the Vikings, Seven Days in May, Paths of Glory,...Awesome to see him recognized and appreciated this way.
i just love watching it when everyone stands up to give a standing ovation it shows the level of towering authority that the acceptant on stage possesses
well that and the fact that, like Mr. Spielberg said, Kirk was recovering from a severe stroke...the fact that he was in this good of health so quickly is a testament to Kirk's drive as a human being
Absolutely remarkable life and career. Certainly one of my all time top ten actors without a doubt. And at the time of writing, it's mind blowing that Ann his wife has just celebrated her 100th birthday this summer while Kirk is 102. Amazing marriage.
today is december 9th 2016 - happy 100th birthday, mr. Douglas! ...i'm glad i grew up with your movies and my alltime-favorite is "the vikings" (1958) ...cheers, dear Spartacus!
An absouletly wonderful very talented man in all ways and gave to the public everything he had no one will be able to copy such a class act not like him NEVER!!!!
That right there is a honorable man and a humble one as well. He loved his family and he loved his wife thank God he came into our lives thank you for showing us movies with you in it because it made it worth so much more I'll always remember you Mr Douglas rest in peace now Your children are safe and you are at your best in heaven God bless
I remember watching this as a 18 year on the BBC back in the 1996....i must admit that nearly sheded a tear when kirk douglas accepted the award.. Its a crime in Hollywood that he never won an Oscar.. RlP
I hav been fan of many legendary actors of Holly Wood from my college days on 1956 onwards till now Of all his films the best was " LONELY R THE BRAVE " Kirk Douglas looked almost like my legendary father a Police Officer Pl rest in peace respected Kirk Douglas , Sir BSK
This was in 1996, when he was 80. In a few months he will turn 100. Unfortunately his youngest son, Eric Douglas died in 2004. It must really suck for a parent to survive his child, no matter the age. Update: It does. My grandmother recently passed away. She survived my late father only by three months.
I don't mean to sound cold h earted but what difference d oes it make whether a paren t buries a child or the other way around; one's gotta bur- y the other. Death is a part o f life. We sin. We're born, we live our lives in the time fra- me God gives us, then we di e. Life never WAS fair. Beca- use of Satan's deception, Ad am & Eve fell victim to his lie s & thus sin came into the w orld.
When I think about legends of Hollywood, Kirk belongs on that list. From the slave revolts in Ancient Rome to the goofy antics of Cactus Jack. From the trenches of Europe to the canvas of Van Gogh. In short, one day when I recount to my kids the list of the greatest, when I get to Kirk Douglas' name I shall simply say "I got a whale of a tale to tell ya" RIP Kirk Douglas "May flights of angels sing thee unto thy rest sweet prince"

Who is here with me after hearing about the passing of LEGENDARY Kirk Douglas? I am heartbroken!
Don't be, he lived a long and successful life.
I agree. Kirk had a difficult struggle in the beginning, but a helluva great, extremely long life! AND, he'll be missed. Not many can say that. 💖🌹
Don't be heartbroken he lived a full life! You can't ask for much more than that!
A true legend RIP Kirk Douglas
@@anasfarahi4401 He still lives in his movies and his children and grandchildren.

Thats one of the most beautiful comments i’ve seen
And, he made truly remarkable classics on the way..
His son Michael is SO PROUD TO HIS FATHER... Kirk taught Him about life.
Wanna go celebrate? I feel like liver and onions
Amazing comment sir :-)
He lived for another 24 years after receving this award for his achievments.
The oscar added 24 yrs to his life
Who lives almost a quarter of a century after an almost fatal stroke?
amazing man
Look how proud Michael is.
Yes he was an excellent actor, but the way his son looks at him shows how much of a good man he was. Rest in peace, Kirk.
True
nice said :)
Sure ❤

If you look back in 1991 how strong he looked when he received the AIF award how much he changed. Brave man
Anyone else here to relive this beautiful moment after his passing? ❤️ RIP Kirk Douglas. Good night to a LEGEND.
It's a real shame they no longer show this award (let alone the level of respect shown here) in the main Oscars ceremony; Kirk Douglas will forever be remembered as one of the true greats of Hollywood.
Seeing his wife cry....OMG....I started crying! Beautiful!
Dec. 9,2019 is when Kirk turns 103 years old. Happy early B,D. , Kirk!
Douglas was recovering from a stroke which had affected his voice. What a superb actor and person.
Kirk Douglas forever. RIP.

you see a stroke does not stop you and kirk Douglas is still with us. God bless you kirk and thank you for the wonderful films.
R.I.P Kirk Douglas. One of the greatest actors of all time.
One of the giants will be missed with a heavy heart a god bless to his family. 😢💜
R.I.P. Kirk Douglas 1916-2020.
Goodbye to one of the last stars from The Golden Age of Hollywood.
He's 101 now - & still married to his sweetheart - what an inspiration!
His sweetheart.. he cheated on her like there's no tomorrow. ...
@@blokblok7952lol !
Harasha Bafana And now he’s gone
Remember It's very bad and classless to talk about someone who did You should have waited while he was alive I bet you can't wait to see what they talked about you after you die right
Aww, poor Kirk, he's making such an effort to overcome the efffects of the stroke.
When I saw Robin Williams I lost it...R.I.P. Kirk and Robin!!!
Happy Bday Kirk!!! 102 years Old. God bless you!
20 years from this award.... and he still living!!! Unbelievable. Legend Kirk Douglas.
" one cannot be a real man if he doesn't take care of his family " Brando said in godfather and Kirk Douglas follows it ,true inspiration.
One tough man. So sorry to hear of your passing today. Prayers to your family
He hired the blacklisted writers when others would not.
RIP Spartacus.
More like he hired great writers who were cheap because of the blacklist. The blacklist writer he hired for his production company said that Kirk never broke the list.
Roy Batty
What do you mean? He never broke the list?
@@kathrynmolesa1641 Read into it... there's already plenty of articles on the whole story
His son's are so proud that they are crying
Dalton Trumbo wrote Spartacus and he was as they say a 'commie' Spartacus is full of leftist undertones if you look closely but so what?Kirk did good in hiring Trumbo.
An inspiration to stroke victims everywhere. Happy 102 Kirk.
And now at 101 he's as sharp as a tack and truly an inspiration. It's so wonderful to see the love his sons and his family have for him and the love he gives back! Truly an unforgettable moment in Oscar History!
RIP true hero of Old Hollywood and fighting against the sensors, looks like ill watching Paths of Glory tonight
He will be missed.
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY dear Kirk Douglas! 97 Years old! What a special human being... survived a plane crash and a stroke. Bless you. Mazal Tov! Ad 120!

Kirk douglas in spartacus is my favourite perfomance of him
RIP legend~ Your legacy will remain for generations!
R.I.P. sweet Natalie. Some of us haven't forgotten even though it was so long ago. Bill and Harvey have come after. But, Kirk was the original.
An AMAZING actor. In the scene from Spartacus when he stood up and said "I'm Spartacus!!" I had a tear in my eye and I was only a child then but that scene moved me so much. RIP Mr. Douglas.
I'm glad Eric Douglas was still alive when his father won this. He did a
episode of Tales From the Cyrpt called Yellow with his father.
RIP Kirk Douglas.

ah so you're the one....
Yeah he died
He died today, but he had a full life.
You soooooo killed him.
RIP
wow amazing, he learnt to talk again from scratch after his stroke, truly an inspirational man! God bless Kirk Douglas!
102 years old. We're lucky to have him still around.
what a talent, what a man who hides in a role but still shows how all of us can see & understand what drive that character to our hearts and soul. RIP, and thanks Kirk.
Robin Williams and Anthony Hopkins face say enough about this moment. Absolute respect.
I believe Kirk has been waiting ages to get his hands on the Oscar he truly deserves it
Good night Kirk Douglas. You were a true Hollywood Legend, and i'm glad that you lived a long and happy life.

Seeing Michael Douglas cry always does me in. Such beautiful moment. RIP Kirk.

He put his heart and soul into all of his characters. I think he is more than deserving of this.
Heart-warming reaction from Robin Williams at 02:46
Nah he just found out he lost a bag of Coke somewhere between the toilet and his dining table...oh crap.

Stfu, loser. Robin Williams stopped doing drugs in the 1980s.

RIP Mr Spartacus you will always be remembered thru your wonderful work the tears the joy the hope and smiles you brought out.
One of the greatest actors ever. I love his westerns and War movies and Spartacus. I'm so glad he live so long.

un idolo del cine de todos los tiempos!!!! que emocion!!!
Great actor!
We all who love cinema in Brazil feel your loss.
Born, Douglas Kirkawitz. Great Actor and he took chances. Loved him in Strangers when we Meet.
Just to see the pride and the emotion on his sons' faces brings tears to my eyes. Kirk Douglas is a GIANT in the movie industry.
This was in 1996, when he was 80. In a few months he will turn 100. Unfortunately his youngest son, Eric Douglas died in 2004. It must really suck for a parent to survive his child, no matter the age.
Update: It does. My grandmother recently passed away. She survived my late father only by three months.
He just turned 102 yesterday... crazy how time flies
In 1996 I was 12 and Douglas was 80, now I'm 35 and Douglas still here at 102. Incredible!
My condolences
Obviously Kirk suffered a str oke; you can tell because of how he talks.
I don't mean to sound cold h earted but what difference d oes it make whether a paren t buries a child or the other way around; one's gotta bur- y the other. Death is a part o f life. We sin. We're born, we live our lives in the time fra- me God gives us, then we di e. Life never WAS fair. Beca- use of Satan's deception, Ad am & Eve fell victim to his lie s & thus sin came into the w orld.
One of my all time favourites, which I grew up with. A man of exceptional courage.
Many thanks for posting this. I just read his inspiring book, "My Stroke of Luck."
A book I'd highly recommend.
RIP Kirk Douglas 1916-2020
Aww, look how proud Michael Douglas is at 2:30! He so pleased for his dad.
When I think about legends of Hollywood, Kirk belongs on that list. From the slave revolts in Ancient Rome to the goofy antics of Cactus Jack. From the trenches of Europe to the canvas of Van Gogh. In short, one day when I recount to my kids the list of the greatest, when I get to Kirk Douglas' name I shall simply say "I got a whale of a tale to tell ya"

one of the greatest of all times ........ simply
This is so emotional! Kirk was and continues to be humorous!
