Description News just broke on the passing of Hollywood legend, Kirk Douglas, of old age, he was 103!

This icon in the film industry, with his good looks, dimple in his chin, he was the leading man in numerous films. Films like Spartacus, 20,000 Leagues under the Sea, Lonely and the Brave, The Vikings, Paths of Glory, Man from Snowy river, The War Wagon, In Harms way, Young Man with a Horn, Last Train from Gun Hill, Ulysses, Saturn, Along the great Divide, Is Paris Burning?, Cast a Giant Shadow, Tough Guys, The Final Countdown, Lust for Life ...I could go on (and own most of these films).

Kirk was a philanthropist , a navy vet from WW2, and stood up against the Hollywood Blacklist by supporting Dalton Trumbo, who wrote Spartacus and insured him a screen credit.

He was almost killed in a helicopter crash in 1991, suffered a stroke in 1996. He literally was the last of the Golden age of Hollywood actors.
