Unfortunately there isn't a really good copy of this up online anywhere, but this is an animated short featuring Frank Gorshin's legendary impression of Kirk Douglas (x3). "The Big Story" (1994, David Stoten & Tim Watts)

Wow, did not know this. R.I.P.

You were Spartacus.

Re: RIP, Kirk Douglas
 

Damn.... I recommend checking out his best role, "Ace in the Hole" (or under the alternate title, "The Big Carnival") directed by Billy Wilder

Re: RIP, Kirk Douglas
 

Very sad. He lived a good long life.

R.I.P.

I have to confess I haven't seen a lot of his work. I did really like Young Man With a Horn. Anyway you slice it, then end of an era. RIP

Paths of Glory

Spoiler Alert!

It was just earlier today, and it's been overshadowing by, ohhh, a little bit of political news.

Love this movie

Re: RIP, Kirk Douglas
 

Sad to hear of this, although he did have a good long innings. So many of his movies were definitive for their era - Champion, Lust For Life, Paths of Glory, Heroes of Telemark, Spartacus etc. Personally, one of the first trips ever to the cinema was for Man From Snowy River, which was a big deal in the early 80's in Australia.

Aside from that, he did help break the Blacklist of the 50's, however read a biography of him quite a few years ago now, and ever since never quite able to think of him without thinking about the disappearance of Jean Spangler, such a noir-esque mystery that surprised noone has ever made into a film.

Anyhow, thanks for the memories.

Rest in peace.

Kirk Douglas was a legend! So many great roles, so many great movies, and a few that might not be great but are a whole lot of fun.

Re: RIP, Kirk Douglas
 

Rest in peace. He was a legend who will certainly be missed. I'll always remember him fondly as Captain Matthew Yelland in The Final Countdown.

gone too soon

Interesting to see Natalie Wood is “trending” over him on Twitter though, for reasons I did not know until today.

The book I read years ago nevder mentioned Natalie Wood. It talked quite a bit about Jean Spangler, but not Natalie Wood. So just googled to see what you were talking about... wow! If this is true about what he did here, it really opens the door more. Maybe now that he is dead there may be a few other skeletons might emerge
