    I've got to agree with you, Lt.B, but as old as Kirk Douglas looks, wouldn't you just love to be seeing a similar picture of John Wayne in the photo section of IMDb? (Of course I know the answer to that question :wink_smile:).

    Another pre-JWMB news article. The Mrs. and I got a real kick out of his quote at the end. He's STILL alive, so I guess he's passed on any lifetime achievement awards :wink_smile:! BTW, I just learned that I share a birthday with Kirk Douglas - at least the day and the month! Who knew??


    Here's a link to a relatively recent picture of Kirk Douglas (the pic is copyrighted, but by following the link, you also get to look at other photos :wink_smile:).

    Kirk Douglas Honored By John Wayne
    17 April 2001 (WENN)
    Actor Kirk Douglas has been honored by a fellow Hollywood legend - in the form of an award given by the John Wayne Cancer Institute. The Spartacus star, 84, will receive the 2001 Duke Award at a prestigious bash at the 16th annual Odyssey Ball at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on April 28th. He says of Wayne who died on in 1979, "We got along well. I had a good relationship with Wayne. I liked him. He was really quite a guy. We were happy to participate in the John Wayne Cancer Institute Event which benefits a very important cause." The veteran actor is pleased with the honor, but does not want it to be classed as a lifetime achievement award. "I try to avoid lifetime achievement awards, because it seems to indicate that you might be dead the next day. What lifetime? I just got started."

    Thanks for the suggestions, EJ. It would be nice to see him with that kind of character (and I had forgotten about Spartacus - thanks for that reminder :rolleyes: ).

    While Kirk Douglas was undeniably handsome, at least from this woman's point of view, I have not ever personally found him attractive as a person. His characters (at least the ones I've seen) seem to lack honor and integrity, and he tends to be a womanizer.


    However, he does seem to be quite popular, and has certainly had a long career!
