      Kirk Douglas

      Kirk Douglas

      Highest Rated: 100% The Strange Love of Martha Ivers (1946)

      Lowest Rated: Not Available

      Birthday: Dec 9, 1916

      Birthplace: Amsterdam, New York, USA

      The archetypal Hollywood movie star of the postwar era, Kirk Douglas built a career with he-man roles as soldiers, cowboys and assorted tough guys in over 80 films. His restless, raging creations earned him three Academy Award nominations for Best Actor and one Golden Globe win for his portrayal of Vincent van Gogh in "Lust for Life" (1956). But besides his lasting mark as a seething strong man, Douglas was a Tinseltown innovator and rebel. As one of the first A-listers to gain further control of their career by founding an independent production company, Douglas also effectively ended the 1950s practice of blacklisting Hollywood talent suspected of communist ties when he insisted on crediting famed screenwriter Dalton Trumbo for his script adaptation of "Spartacus" (1960). Douglas maintained his position as a perennial favorite - often opposite fellow tough guy Burt Lancaster - in Westerns and World War II films until the early 1970s. He began a second career as a writer and focused on the philanthropic efforts of The Douglas Foundation, occasionally surfacing throughout the 1980s and 1990s to portray irrepressible old firecrackers in made-for-TV movies and the occasional feature. His death on February 5, 2020 at the age of 103 marked a true end of the Golden Age of Hollywood.
