Kirk Douglas dead age 103

This is from his son, Michael's Facebook Page:

It is with tremendous sadness that my brothers and I announce that Kirk Douglas left us today at the age of 103. To the world he was a legend, an actor from the golden age of movies who lived well into his golden years, a humanitarian whose commitment to justice and the causes he believed in set a standard for all of us to aspire to.

But to me and my brothers Joel and Peter he was simply Dad, to Catherine, a wonderful father-in-law, to his grandchildren and great grandchild their loving grandfather, and to his wife Anne, a wonderful husband.

Kirk's life was well lived, and he leaves a legacy in film that will endure for generations to come, and a history as a renowned philanthropist who worked to aid the public and bring peace to the planet.

Let me end with the words I told him on his last birthday and which will always remain true. Dad- I love you so much and I am so proud to be your son.

awwww, well, 103 is a fantastic age... and it helps if you have a loving family to support you, as he and his wife did. May he R.I.P..

is he the the oldest actor ever ? has any hollywood actor been older when they passed ? I'm just wondering...

he is survived by his wife, altho' I know she is very poorly now and needs round the clock care...

Yes, he was one of the favorites, and in the 50's we'd always go to the drive-in if Kirk was in a western.

I think Spartacus was one of his best - not a western but still he did a brilliant job.
 
Myself and probably only 3 other people really likes an old film of his (aside from the biblical costumers): Lonely are the Brave. Is there a fifth person here that knows that film?
