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!

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.

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.

Holy crap he was 81 here and he still looked great. By his own admission he could be a bastard but truly changed and became a true humanitarian and not just but all these current actors claiming to care when it suits them ( especially when campaigning for Oscars). Kirk has donated over 30 million dollars to REAL causes. A great man who truly embraced his rediscovered faith but also was never afraid to confront his flaws. I really think one should watch Lee Grant's beautiful documentary " Once upon a time in Hollywood, a father and son". It's touching, honest and raw. It shows just how hard he worked to become a better man.
