Falece aos 103 anos, a Lenda de Hollywood: Kirk Douglas

Após anos lutando por problemas de saúde desde que sofreu um AVC, Kirk não resistiu e acabou falecendo ontem (5). Porém, deixou um grande legado para Hollywood.

O ator atuou em produções como Spartacus, A Montanha dos 7 Abutres e Sede de Viver. Já foi indicado ao Globo de Ouro e ganhou duas estatuetas: Melhor Ator em Drama por Sede de Viver de 1956 e outra por sua filmografia (o prêmio especial Cecil B. DeMille).

Também concorreu três vezes ao Oscar, porém não ganhou. Somente em 1996 ganhou um Oscar honorário para celebrar seus 50 anos de carreira.

Seu filho, Michael Douglas, postou no Instagram o seu luto.

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. #KirkDouglas
