Legendary actor Kirk Douglas has died at 103. He acted during Hollywood's Golden Age and was an iconic force with classic roles in films like Champion, Lust for Life, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Paths of Glory, Gunfight at OK Corral, Spartacus, Seven Days in May, and many more. He was awarded a special Oscar in 1996 after multiple noms. He was also a producer who hired a very young Stanley Kubrick and helped to break the Blacklist by giving screen credit to screenwriter Dalton Trumbo. He costarred with Burt Lancaster in seven films and was a productive author even after a debilitating stroke. What a long career beginning in the 1940s.
