I met Kirk and Michael Douglas when I was 19 years old and working at a seafood restaurant in Santa Barbara. I actually made a joke at Michael's expense and his Father laughed at my joke! such a great moment
This is the way they were. Articulate, educated (often self) and respectful. Old Hollywood had men and women of integrity. Did you hear him use profane language? Watch some others from his era and more often than not, you'll see the same thing. I sometimes listen to the old movies adapted to radio on Radio classics and when the director and actors speak afterward, they use proper and correct English. Today, the language is brutalized on a daily basis.
christopherg9806, Dick Cavett was usually a very good interviewer, but in this one, he said things to Kirk Douglas that were off-putting, at least to me, and Kirk Douglas handled it so well. I felt sorry for Kirk D. having to have to try so hard to respond in a positive way. Kirk Douglas was a high-quality human.
Class act. He always spoke highly of his son's acting and not in a patronizing way. It's nice to see that they had such a great relationship. He deserved some Oscars too! Fantastic actor.
@@Johnny-rj6ou That is the Truth, he was an A /HOLE thru and thru, He is a TOTAL SCUMBAG MALE, NOT A MAN. TOTAL MONIED HOLLYWOOD FAKE ARTIST, POWER IS HIS TRIP, WHAT HE GETS OFF ON, ALONG WITH HIS OTHER GETTING OFF
Failure's easier to handle than success. That's poetic and applies to many Hollywood/musical names. First interview I've seen on KD and I think he's very level headed and obviously well read. Legend.
Yeah, Cavett appeared to be acting like a jerk. He also asked bewildering questions, as well. Agreed. He should have shown better respect toward Mr. Douglas.
Just wanted to share one of my favorite Kirk Douglas movie: "Paths of Glory" - 1957. He played a military lawyer that defended 3 men during WW1 that were charged with cowardice under fire for refusing to charge a machine gun nest that would've been a suicidal charge. Excellent film.
I've Always found it Unbelievable that Kirk Douglas never Copped an Oscar, He was in an Incredible amount of Excellent movies, I Also feel he was much to kind, When speaking of John Wayne, But If I say Anything, too many people will start looking for Arguments. Naa,... to me, I've Always had Respect for Kirk Douglas, I've never read anything bad about him or being overly Patriotic, But if he was, at least he'd have a Right to, being that he Enlisted in The Navy during WW 2, He was Tough but Modest, & intelligent, But, It's Only My Opinion. R.I.P. (Sparticus)👍🙏
I think the thing is that he knew Wayne personally. We never really get to know public figures and there is always more to them than what we see from them publicly. I mean, there are sometimes people in one's life who you are friends with despite them having a pretty big flaw. What should we do? It depends on what they do and say, but I don't think it would be the right thing to cut all ties or to be unkind to them in public when they can't even defend themselves. As to the Oscars. Who knows. There were a lot of good actors around in those years. It was difficult to win one I guess. It's also not as important to win it. The idea of art as a competition is bad enough if you ask me, and too often movies with a message are chosen over those which are masterfully crafted. Or why should only one movie, actor, script etc. be awarded? Is there really one clear winner? I don't think so. He has movies that will probably be watched forever and that is worth more than award I think. Time is probably the only real award.
Yes, unquestionably he was in many great movies and played fantastic roles but being a great guy is extremely suspect? I'm quite sure Natalie Wood would agree.
Kirk was 76 here and showed no signs of hair loss whatsoever. That is extremely rare at that age. Even most women of 76 yrs old have lost a lot of thickness and have thin hair. Ronald Reagan was Blessed in the hair department until the end of his life. Kirk’s son Michael is 79 and like his dad has a full head of hair. Great genes
The golden age of talk shows when guests actually talked about something else apart from the book/film/ shoe they were plugging. Kirk and Dick, two gentlemen.
And boy, it definately was NOT over! Wow! What a blessed life...not without hardship, as we ALL face. But he handled himself with grace & dignity. God Speed Mr. Douglas. RIP
Lots of respect for Kirk Douglas when he stood up for a black listed writer during the early 1960s, (Spartacus) See the movie Trumbo for quick synopsis.
That’s a typical Cavett tactic. He got a lot of praise, back when he was a big noise on TV, for being not just “literate” (oh puhleez) but “irreverent” (translation: a jerk). He was able to be successful because at that time in this country we were at a place of great insecurity and self-hatred, which was fuel to him. He has never grown out of his need to embarrass a guest if he thinks there’s a chance of doing it.
Not one of Cavett’s better showings as an interviewer. He comes across at times as intentionally annoying and too sarcastic. Douglas, however, was just fine.
Yes..I like many of his interviews,but in this one he appears to be hunting or pursuing scandal&gossip..And Kirk Douglas is way to smart,direct and classy for that kind of BS..
Cavett was always snarky and seemed to come from a condescending place, then blaming it on "the cards". Guess he was attempting to "pull something out", but it came across as obviously lazy and overbearing. Kirk Douglas was a very astute person, and wouldn't "take the bait". What a great life!
Ludwig Fan I didn’t particularly like the way Dick handled the K Douglas interview but that was an anomaly in my view. He has always been an excellent interviewer. As for Eddie Murphy I’ll check it out, but I doubt he showed racist tendencies. I’ve always respected him for speaking plainly and asking probing questions.
Kirk was one of my favorites; I believed every line he ever spoke. It is interesting how little chemistry he has with Dick here, though, as Cavett's sarcasm goes right over his head at several points in the interview. Cavett was great when you could follow his train of thought, but that was not always easy.
I think Kirk chose to ignor it. Cavett actually makes himself sound like a gossip columnist with some of his questions and innuendo not the intellectual interviewer he is renowned for.
My folks had a liquor store and we catered many events in Northern Cal. I applied for and got a job in LA with a caterer when in college, 1969. had our own "mobile" bar set-up and served all kinds of drinks to celebs. always in private homes. Mr. Douglas, Mr. Lloyd Bridges, Lee Remmick (sp?)and Natalie Wood very, very graciously would come up to me when I was breaking down the bar at the end of an event and chat, asking me about my life and college and what I wanted to do with myself. Got to know them because many of the celebs. used us time and again...AND..they tipped me well during the evenings. My boss told me not to chat with them under any circumstance unless they approached me first. Period. Fired if caught doing so. Mr. Bridges helped me unload a 15 gallon keg from my van. Very nice gentleman. Paul Newman told me NOT to call him "Mr.Newman" because he said he would have to look around to see if his father was there...beer, beer, beer..he would nod at me, I'd race over with a can. long time ago...
Of course genetics play a role, but you're pretty young. Your body might be trying to tell you something. Like poor blood flow, or deficiency in certain vitamins or minerals. Seriously, if you ignore the small warning signs...it could result in something more pronounced or serious.
What a personality of a great an golden actor. I felt for him in his last days, he was ready too an die. RIP Kirk you are missed an finally are on that stage in the SKY! 🥳💓🕊️😇
look at this Kirk guy in what kind of shape he was at that age ... just wow ... Kirk Douglas is definitely one of the most charismatic actors who ever appeared on screen ... I'm Spartacus

Fantastic movie by Kubrick. Was banned on American military bases at one point. The ending is so good but heartbreaking.

Look at the shape his in at 75...
He was amazingly vibrant at that age
Yeh but he didn’t look like he would live til’ 103. 28 years later.
People like you never die, Kirk Douglas!!
I love this man, he's so focused in his answers and expressing himself. I admire that.
Greatly missed. One of the best.
rhoads girl he’s a jerk!
How moving to hear Kirk talking with such genuine love and pride about his son Michael. Guys, here’s how to be a good man...
Kirk really shines here. Honest, direct and full of energy, But he is being interviewed by a particularly full interviewer in Cavett.
Cavett was the absolute best interviewer. Relaxed manner and allows guest to talk.
RIP Kirk Douglas, one of the last legends of the Golden Age.
I was obsessed with his Einar and Spartacus in my childhood in the USSR.
A once-a-century actor and gentleman
Rest in peace, Mr Douglass
What a great guy Kirk was. So many great movies, so many great characters he played.
Yes, unquestionably he was in many great movies and played fantastic roles but being a great guy is extremely suspect? I'm quite sure Natalie Wood would agree.
A giant in classic Hollywood.
Kirk was amazing. Total tough guy yet great communicator. Real movie star absolutely.
I was lucky enough to meet the legend in LA...Down to earth and generous with life advice-Unforgettable!
So approachable with no attitude.
Kirk was very cool.Without a doubt his humble Beginnings taught him early the gift of grace.
R.I.P. Mr Douglas. Condolences to your family and friends. With kind remembrance.
Some really weird questions by Cavett but Kirk was brilliant.
Terrible Questions, ugh
Right? Not the best interviewer.
That's how Cavett can be sometimes.
they were all coming from a good place, hence no snapping by Douglas....Dick was a gr8 host!
Kirk Douglas was actually way ahead of his time! Great man!
An absolute giant of the silver screen. A great guy as well. Rest in peace!!
10:04 priceless. i wish Dick the same longevity as Kirk.
Kirk appears to be a very switched on and smart guy. Would be great to have shared a beer with him, it would have been very interesting.
What a positively delightful interview. 10 mins well spent
They’re a perfect match conversationally. Very entertaining to listen to them and hear their chemistry.
