He provided a lot of fine entertainment over many years. 103 isn't doing too bad! Olivia de Havilland is a few months older than Kirk and is still with us. Doris Day passed in Spring of last year at 97.
^^^^^ Me too!! Kirk Douglas was absolutely a man's man!!

Rest In Peace, Kirk. While he made made some great movies, I loved ‘Greedy’.

What a life. I didn't realize he lived so long to be 103, amazing. He seemed pretty with it for that age, at least some of the interviews he gave a few years prior. I was able to see only his modern works in the theater like "The Villain"-enjoyed that as a kid,"Tough Guys",etc., and have seen some of his older stuff on tv and enjoyed them. Of course, Spartacus was most enjoyable.
