Amazing actor. RIP.

Total dude. Rags to riches, mother and father hardly spoke English, nor did he until his teens (I am told). He did it the hard way and gave away $100M+ in his lifetime.

That's disgusting and I hope you have the facts to back it up.

I believe your referring to the Natalie Wood allegation, that started trending when his death was announced and that there is but a very tenuous, not substantiated link to.

Or are you referring to something else?

[Advantage]

What are you upset about?

The infatuated teenage aspiring actress being brutally raped by an influential Hollywood heavyweight (who some years later "drowned" while she was married to another Hollywood stalwart)?

Or how no one has ever been brought to justice over either event?

I never had any desire to be a film actor. I never thought I was the good-looking movie type, which I assumed they wanted.

I'm not upset, I am asking where you are getting your facts from to substantiate your accusation. Something you seemed to have ignored.

By all counts Kirk Douglas was a genuinely nice guy and fighter for the rights of minorities and diversity in Hollywood. I for one loved his movies. What a great actor.

Anything else is and was unsubstantiated and all allegations were strenuously denied.

Agreed. He did a lot of good and did support some great causes and did some great things quietly and away from the bright lights. But it doesn't stop some people just throwing the shit around does it.
