Great actor, producer, etc. Thanks for the wonderful performances, Kirk. RIP.
Oh, sorry to hear. Hope he didn't suffer.
103 he did well
What an age to reach.May he now rest in peace,and thoughts go out to all his friends and family.
He was alive until now?! Wow... 103 is a respectable age.
RIP Kirk.
And yes, 103 is very respectable.
Another of the great ones gone. Rest in Peace. He had a long, full life.
Sad to hear. Wonderful that he got to 103, though.
OK, now I'm a little confused. Did anyone else think that his son Michael Douglas was also dead. I thought he'd died from an illness many years back, in the 00s. Is it.... The Mandela Effect?
Hail, Sparticus!
..aww crap.
No, no. He is currently co-starring in the Kominsky Method on Netflix. Season 2 just premiered. Still kicking.
For me his best film was Out Of The Past, and probably Mitchum's too. Along with Jane Greer who was absolutely delicious. RIP all of them.
I liked him in War Wagon and Saturn 3
He was a great actor. He lived 103 years that by itself is a great accomplishment. Rest in Peace Mr Douglas
It was partly through Kirk Douglas that One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest became a movie. He bought the rights to it, but couldn't find anyone willing to risk financing it. Later on, Michael Douglas took over the project and produced it himself. One of the great movies of the 20th century!
He had throat cancer in 2011 but some cancers are eradicated sometimes in some people by the treatments chosen. There is another Michael Douglas that had a talk show in the 70s that was actually much more famous than the Michael Douglas you are talking about was for many years. That Michael Douglas died 2006 Aug 11.

I mentioned his death to to my 24 year old son. A few minutes later my son said, "I wasn't paying close attention and thought you were talking about Michael Douglas...since he's 75." But we were both surprised to read that his wife of 65 years survived him.
I am saddened by his loss. I still think of him as Ned Land, since 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was the first of his novies I recall seeing him in as a child. Some 20 years after it's release.
I am... Spartacus!...
Wait... no... sorry... I must be wearing his underwear... that's what the tag says...
This one must be mine...
I am... Fruit of the Loom!
I always used to forget which Douglas was the father and which was the son... so yesterday when my daughter looked at her phone and said "Kirk Douglas died... he was 103"...
That confused the brain cell in charge of responding to stuff like that which made it say, "Whu?… He didn't look 103 in Antman..."
That made the brain cell next to him smack him in back of the head and say "that's Hank Pym's father, you idiot..."
So the brain cell next to him smacked him in the back of the head and said "Hank Pym is the character Michael Douglas played, Kirk is Michael's father"... and the brain cell next to him said "Wait... I thought David Marcus was Kirk's son...?" and the brain cell in back of him smacked him in the back of the head and said "what is it with you and that stupid movie "Wrath of Kane"?"... so the brain cell next to him shoved him and said "It's Khan, you idiot!"
At which point several other brain cells panicked because they thought he was shouting "Khan!" Like Captain Kirk Douglas did in the movie The Rats of Kane...
Needless to say that started a small riot and I've now got a headache.
Well, at least Ricardo Montalbán had a good run... 103 is not bad.
The Star Trek references woke a brain cell in me causing me to remember what the original Dr. McCoy said in the original Star Trek movie when confronted with his extreme age. "What's wrong with not having died?"
