Aged 103, at home in Beverly Hills. Literally the ragman's son, and a legendary Hollywood presence. Anything more said would be too little to remember such an actor and man.

My favorite as a kid and adult,Kirk with James Mason in Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea.
I believe he once said his own personal favourite was Paths of Glory. Great film. Great actor.
Hail Ragnar's Beard!!!
Yeah, thing is that Kirk was a life long communist that merely portrayed them hidden in his movies. While "Spartacus" was obvious is you examine it thoroughly, his worst anti-white, anti-Christian movie has to be "Young Man with a Horn". It's not particularly well known, but it's still available.
Douglas only discovered his "Jewishness", according to him, when he was almost killed in an airplane crash. I'll go no further than that, after all, (((they're))) the group that must remain unnamed.
So, no kudos from me.
Then it must have happened prior to 1966. It'd be pretty hard to make a case for him making Cast A Giant Shadow any other way.
Wait, Jews in Hollywood? Who knew?
While "Paths of Glory" was a great film, my own Douglas favorite (also with the Duke) was "In Harm's Way", especially the scene where he slaps Patrick O'Neal's character around in the head.
Yeah lifelong lefty, but not so overtly anti-American as the mob these days.
Boat Guy
Spartacus has left the building.
Communists in Hollywood? Say it ain't so. Anyhoo, best movies were Lonely Are the Brave and The List of Adrian Messenger. Classics both.
