Happy 100th Kirk!

[Insidious Von]

Today is Kirk Douglas's 100th Birthday.

He probably celebrated by dancing to Drake's Hotline Bling.

He reached his peak as an actor in 1956. He got an Oscar nom for playing Vincent Van Gogh in Lust for Life and starred in Stanley Kubrick's breakout classic Paths of Glory.

Kirk co-starred in one of my favorite westerns Gunfight At The OK Corral. It also had a very young Dennis Hopper.

One of the future Sicilian lover's first roles.

Good grab I-Von....fab movie, although the french priest with the bronx accent is a bit of a hoot...but Kirk is great in this. Kubrick kills it in this too.

I read his book 'The Ragman's Son' a while back. He is a fascinating guy.

I have always liked KD as an actor and have watched many of his movies. Quite the milestone!

100! Congrats!

However, the rumour about what he did to a young Natalie Wood is concerning.

Question: Why did he chop off Tony Curtis' arm in the Vikings?
